Interviewed by Wesley Craig Green / Head Cheese at Independent Propaganda

Making a splash at last summer’s San Diego Comic Con was new publisher, Thrill House Comics who was there to promote their two properties: SHARK-MAN and CRYPTID. Both projects are based on original stories by writer/producer Ronald (ALIEN, TOTAL RECALL, MINORITY REPORT) Shusett, and like his other projects, both SHARK-MAN and CRYPTID are a mishmash of sci-fi and pulp fiction.

SHARK-MAN #1 debuted this past July to very favorable reviews. And then nothing till this past September when CRYPTID: CREATING A UNIVERSE was solicited in Diamond’s PREVIEW catalogue and then in October where SHARK MAN #2 was solicited for a December release date.

In this interview with Thrill House Comics’ editor, David Elliot, he addresses these delays along with introducing newcomers to SHARK-MAN and CRYPTID, catching fans up on what is going on at Thrill House Comics, and what we can expect in the future.

As I am sure most of you reading this has heard by now, Dave Cockrum passed away this morning due to complications from diabetes.

He is known for his 70s work on DC’s LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES to his most famous body of work, Marvel’s THE UNCANNY X-MEN where he along with Chris Claremont re-introduced a title which changed comics forever.

On a personal note, I can still remember when I purchased THE UNCANNY X-MEN #107 when it first came out. At that time, X-Men wasn’t a hot title nor was Wolverine the popular character he is today. No, I bought this comic simply for the cover. I knew if the art inside was as cool as the cover, then it had to be good. I still remember reading it and having that “wow!” feeling when I was done.

As most kids my age did back then, I traded my copy away. But I never forgot how cool that issue was. Which is why I bought it again on eBay for a lot more than .30 cents. And it is worth every penny.

My condolences go out to Mr. Cockrums family.

One of the fascinating aspects of web publishing is simply the fact of being published. It always seemed this completely unattainable goal because being published cost money. Increasingly expensive print demands make it almost inconceivable to be published and get creative ideas out to the public. If there isn’t a multi-million dollar market involved, who wants to risk the money to publish a book or idea that only few care for?

That’s the niche that BRAIN FIST has found. Read more

With so many sell-out print runs for WALKING DEAD and INVINCIBLE already in his pocket, writer Robert Kirkman makes this look easy. It ain’t, boyo. Kirkman along with artists Charlie Adlard and Cliff Rathburn have put blood, sweat and tears into creating one of the most compelling epics in the history of American comics. Each edition of WALKING DEAD delivers with compelling characters, haunting art, and cliffhangers that leave your jaw on the floor.

The second printing for WALKING DEAD: BEST DEFENSE arrives in stores November 14, 2006.
