Our pals at MySpace Comic Books approached me after seeing our first public excerpt a few weeks ago… and paid me such sweet compliments that we just couldn’t refuse. Here’s an all-new handful of free pages for you to enjoy on our magical debut day.

This morning, Michael Crowley was a guest on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” discussing 08, beginning around 04:00′.
This week in my favorite comic-shopping app, Comixology features 08 as their item of the week, highlighted across their synergistic site/iPhone app/web-app as well as an interview with yours truly in their weekly podcast (also via iTunes). This particular interview is a bit process-heavy which should be interesting to digital illustrators out there, and sees me stringing my last few major projects together and tying them up with a shiny bow.
We’ve also set up an 08 Facebook group to serve as our 08 communications hub, which you can join here:
Tomorrow’s baby’s big day; love to hear your thoughts on 08 in the comments…
As we get closer to 08′s Jan 27th release, The Daily Beast features a new exclusive excerpt as part of their truly excellent political coverage, this time dealing with the roll-up to Obama’s triumphant speech at Denver’s Invesco Field. Ordering information for the graphic novel is available here.
Here’s a nice interview I’ve just done up at the Graphic Novel Reporter for you to enjoy; there are hints at upcoming beauties towards the end.
Today I’d like to give you a free gift: a 20-page excerpt from my upcoming nonfiction graphic novel 08: A GRAPHIC DIARY OF THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL. Stylistically a mashup of sequential narrative and graphic design, 08 is a documentary-in-comics of this historic and magical election we’re all still buzzing from, as seen from reporters’ perspective on the campaign trail. You can download the excerpt by clicking above, along with info/links to order the physical book when it’s released on January 27th across North America.
I’m awfully awfully awfully proud of this new baby of mine; I hope it makes you misty too.
08 has finished and I am slowly decompressing from dog whistle to fog horn to hominid again. In the final days of production, one of my overcaffeinated clones took some time out to talk way too fast with the comics-culture podcast The Watchtower about compressing an 18-month presidential race into 160 comic pages.
More more soon soon; I really missed you too, One Machine.
My last graphic novel SHOOTING WAR was included in “The Canon” section of The Rough Guide to Graphic Novels, and it’s a humbling list to be included in. Check it out the whole book by Danny Fingeroth here:
I was thrilled to read this smart Washington Post feature whose narrative moves from prose into comics and features Françoise Mouly and agent Bob Mecoy… so imagine my surprise upon reaching the last panel, only to find that it references my own upcoming 08: A GRAPHIC DIARY OF THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL. Give the whole piece a whirl to understand how the sea-changes happening now in comics/publishing.
On June 8th, I’ll be a guest of Toronto’s Luminato Festival of Arts + Creativity, taking part in a panel called “The Political Graphic Novel” hosted by The Beguiling‘s own Peter Birkemoe.
And hey Torontoans, I’ll be sticking around through the 11th, so hit me up in the comments for a good time.
