Nice art: The real cover to the SAMMY THE MOUSE collection
Due to a computer glitch we had a corrupted file for the cover to Zak Sally's SAMMY THE MOUSE collection up in a previous post, so for your viewing pleasure here's the real deal. If you missed the news, Sally is collecting the three Ignatz issues of his dark strip for a 104-page trade which he funded on Kickstarter. The book will be out in March and yes -- he used that amazing printing press in his garage to print it himself. He hopes for a second collection later this year.

Fact check: can you really fight in The Brokeback Pose?
Okay so like we don't have enough to do, we just started a tumblr for The Brokeback Pose. Because...well because it's so awesome.
To get us warmed up, here's a post from a martial artist/contortionist, who explains that having your top and bottom face different directions is not that easy...and not very realistic in a fight. (Here's a follow-up post with more.)
Kyle Baker is working on something called HOTWIRE
Multi-talented Kyle Baker has been a little under the radar for a while. He's working on some comics and animation proects, including, it seems something called HOTWIRE written by Kevin McCarthy (EPOCH). Or as Baker put it: I think this is the cover. Looks like a comic about a flying girl with pink hair...we're in.

Buy Kevin Eastman's studio
Did you get some money from Memaw and Pepaw for Christmas? If you're not going to spend it on a comics shop, howabout buying Kevin Eastman's art studio?
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles co-creator is auctioning off all the contents of his art studio -- located within Meltdown Comics -- with 20% of the proceeds to go to the Hero Initiative. Eastman gives a tour of the overflowing contents of the studio in the very entertaining video above. Among the anecdotes he drops along the way -- he once owned a Batmobile and his goal was to dress in a complete Batman costume and drive up to the 7-11 for a pack of smokes in full Batman gear -- a dream sadly unrealized.
Here's some of what you will win in this treasure trove of '90s and '00s nostalgia.
