I had a delightful chat with my old friend Chris Sims of Comics Alliance about the history of Small Favors, soon to be reprinted in its entirety by Limerence Press!
In other news, I got my first advance copies of the new hardcover and it is very classy.
A new Small Favors interview with the good people at Book Threat (“Unusually good reads for self-aware weirdos“) is now live and ready for you to read! Go do that!
Small Favors will arrive in shops on April 26, 2017. It is listed in Previews now, with the order code DEC161824.
Pre-order from Amazon for delivery May 9, 2017. (No seriously, order it thorough your local shop, if you can.)
We’re very proud to announce that Bandette Volume Three: The House Of The Green Mask has been listed by the Young Adult Library Services Association for their 2017 list of Great Graphic Novels For Teens!
“The list of 104 titles, drawn from 145 official nominations, is presented annually at the ALA Midwinter Meeting. The books, recommended for those ages 12-18, meet the criteria of both good quality literature and appealing reading for teens.”
Libraries and librarians are essential partners in bring books to new readers, so we couldn’t be more pleased to make their list again this year!
4x speed. Sorry for the dodgy framing and my big dumb hand getting in the way!
I was having a hard time keeping a point on the brushes: a well-used Winsor & Newton size 2 and a Princeton size 0. After this panel I broke out a new W&N brush and spent far less time struggling to get a fine line! The paper is Strathmore bristol 400 series, velum surface, with inkjet blue lines. (The lighting makes them look gray in the video, but they are really a very pale cyan)
Bandette 14 is now available digitally on ComiXology, along with all the previous digital issues for 99¢ each! It can be found at the below link, or in print at your local comic book store or bookseller.

I recorded part of the process of creating an alternative cover for Adventure Time Comics #6 in Clip Studio Paint. The original videos added up to more than three hours, and are here compressed down to six minutes, so it may be too speedy to get any instructional information, but hopefully it will be interesting!
Publishers Weekly has an advance review of Small Favors: The Definitive Girly Porno Collection!
Coover’s cute, cartoony black-and-white artwork, reminiscent of Archie comics or Love and Rockets, keeps the characters charming no matter how naughty their behavior or filthy their dialogue. Everyone is so perky you can’t begrudge them a single orgasm.

Archie Comics has released some of the variant cover art from the upcoming Josie And The Pussycats #1, including this one by me! Here’s a quick GIF that shows some of the layers of design that evolved into the final piece.

A couple of panels from Bandette 14! Here I’m refining my rough layouts into finished “pencils” that I will later print onto physical paper and redraw in ink wash. Notice that I use the software to flip the art a lot, so my eye can better see when the characters’ features are asymmetrical.
