Comics Now Available at Ultra Pop! in Louisville, KY

Filed under: Print Comics — Tags: , , — William Cardini @ 2:20 pm

The illustrious Jak Cardini has just dropped off some Gold County Paper Mill comics at Ultra Pop! in Louisville Kentucky, located at 1414 Bardstown Road.

Now Louisvillains can check out Hyperbox #1-3 and Masks, written and drawn by yours truly, and Impossible Objects #1 with text by Jak Cardini and drawings by myself. Ultra Pop! is an awesome store and I’m glad that we’re in there. When I went there with Jak this past summer I got several issues of Epic Illustrated, a Howard Chaykin graphic novel, some Moebius alubms, and a dope-ass Mnwka shirt. If you’re in the area, definitely stop by there!

Also, if you haven’t already, be sure to become a fan of The Gold County Paper Mill on Facebook.

Froghead Hangover at Domy Books in Austin

We just got back from our road trip to Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and Marfa Friday nite. It was a blast, I’ve planned 29388729075230 blog posts about it but we’ll see how many I actually get to. Glade and I just went to the Domy Books here in Austin, she dropped off a bunch of new cards and I dropped off five copies of Froghead Hangover (reviews here, here, and here). They’re two dollars, get them while you can!

The show that’s up at Domy right now is called Libres y Lokas, I think my buddy Anthony Romero would really dig it if he was still in town. I also got a really well-made local book called Observations & Daily Life by Haley McMichael, Important Comics by Dina L. Kelberman, and books of really kewl drawz by Lisa Hanawalt and Deth P. Sun.

Froghead Hangover Review #2

Filed under: Press,Print Comics — Tags: , , — William Cardini @ 8:24 pm

Froghead Hangover got reviewed over at Optical Sloth, here’s a quote:

I’ll just say that any ambivalence I had about the last issue is gone with this one, as this is a pile of fun. Those frog eyes will haunt you if you’re not careful, if you read this you’ll see what I mean.

Review.

The review is on the same page as the review for TRANZ, so if you scroll down you can check that out too.
