Press Release
Vince Colletta has long been a controversial figure in comics history, known for his ability to ink an entire comic book over a weekend when needed, but often taking some startling shortcuts to meet his deadlines. He’s famous for inking such prominient comics artists as Jack Kirby (with a long run on THOR in the 1960s), Mike Grell (on WARLORD in the late 1970s), and nearly every other major artist at one time or another from the 1960s to the 1980s. He was rumored to have mafia connections and a side career photographing models and movie stars, and lived in a palatial estate that shouldn’t have been economically feasible on an inker’s salary. His departure from comics in the late 1980s was punctuated with a notorious letter to Marvel Comics’ editorial staff following the ousting of Jim Shooter as Marvel’s editor-in-chief, and that letter, vehemently defending Shooter, has only heightened the mystery surrounding this amazingly prolific comics artist.
Press Release
TwoMorrows Publishing, publisher of award-winning books and magazines about LEGO® and comics history and appreciation, is offering all their “Companion” books at 30% off, during their “Find Your Perfect COMPANION Sale”, now through October 31, 2009.
Instead of giving away free physical copies of its offereings, TwoMorrows publishing is giving away complete digital issues of its various magazines for Free Comic Book Day.
From May 1-3, TwoMorrows will be offering free complete digital issues of their various magazines for download, so customers can sample their publications. This limited time offer includes issues of their current magazine line-up:
- ALTER EGO (focusing on Golden and Silver Age comics)
- BACK ISSUE! (celebrating comic books of the 1970s, 1980s, and today)
- THE JACK KIRBY COLLECTOR (documenting the life and career of the “King” of comics)
- DRAW! (the professional “how-to” magazine on comics and cartooning), and
- BRICKJOURNAL (the ultimate resource for Lego enthusiasts)
Also featured are past favorites ROUGH STUFF and WRITE NOW!, which are still available as back issues. Digital Editions normally retail for $2.95-$3.95 per download, but are free over the three-day Free Comic Book Day weekend, to encourage more readers to try them out, and consider ordering them at their local comic book shop.
I like that TwoMorrows is offering up free digital copies, as it gives everyone a chance to check out the future of publishing. And I have purchased BrickJournal many times, and for LEGO fants, it is a must read. All you have to do is log into the site and add the issues to your shopping cart, checkout and enjoy.
This is going to be a huge week of news and posts coming out of San Diego, and if you are going to the show, check out the offering from TwoMorrows Publishing.
