I'll be doing a couple of book signings for CRUSHER LOVES BLEEDER - BLEEDER LOVES CRUSHER the first weekend in December, 2024.

The first one is on December 6th, 5pm to 7pm, at Floating World Comics in Portland, OR with Josh Simmons! Josh will be signing his new collection of Jessica Farm from Fantagraphics (a must have book, you must have it)!

Then the following day on December 7th, 5pm to 7pm, I'll be at the Fantagraphics Bookstore in Seattle, WA, signing books with Mark Ostler, author of Adventures in Accounting! There will also be live music by The Mistons and The Zack Static Sect, as well as a DJ set by DJ Rad Fallout.

Hope to see some of you crazy kids outs there at one of these signings!

A snippet of the new double page spread to be included in the ‘Death of the Bat’ chapter I did with @joshuahallsimmons for the new softcover edition of Dream of the Bat, published by @themansionpress

Just noticed there’s throat slashing in this snippet and the cover, how ghastly and gruesome!!!

Become a patron of Josh Simmons today: Get access to exclusive content and experiences on the world’s largest membership platform for artists and creators.

I’m starting a patreon! I don’t use my social media accounts much any more beyond announcing when a new project is out. But at Patreon you can support me month to month and get to see a lot of what I have created and what’s coming down the lane. What you get when you join at the 5$ tier: Full strips and scans from 30 years of my comics publishing. Sneak peeks into current projects. A first look at tiny movies I’m currently working on. First dibs on original art. A peek inside my sketchbooks. And 1-2 self-published zines/comics a year, starting this spring with Ghouls #4. (Note 1: We might need to work out a little extra payment for postage for international patrons.) At the 25$ tier, you get all that plus, at the end of a year, your choice of a big, banging page of original art, or 2-3 smaller pieces. (Note 2: If you should quit before the year is up, I’ll still send you an appropriate piece of art to fit your donation.)

Bat Costumes were a popular choice of Halloween attire back in the early 1900s. Since there weren’t any professional/specialist costume shops, these were mostly home made.

Aside from collecting the 3 classic and previously published Bat tales, more than half of Dream of the Bat will be brand new work from me and the other contributors. This piece won't be in there; I created it after the book went to print, because the cosmic flow of Bat visions is unending here in 2022, Year of the Bat. This might end up in a future Bat book of some kind, or on a print, or a t-shirt. Go here to obtain your Bat beauty.

DREAM OF THE BAT by Josh Simmons and Patrick Keck collects the classic Bat tales: “Mark of the Bat,” “Twilight of the Bat” and “Birth of the Bat.” It will also include a brand new, 38-page, fourth and final chapter, written by Simmons and drawn by Keck: “Death of the Bat.” What happens after The Bat dies? You will see with your very own bat-eyeballs. In addition, this volume features a 30+ page gallery of old and new covers, thumbnail pages, pin ups and short gag comics by Simmons and Keck and special guests Anders Nilsen, Tara Booth, Scott Travis, gea* and Victor Cayro. 16 years in the making. 144 pages, hardcover with a cardstock slipcase among other fancy extras. Available at different price points with a signed bookplate and a sketched bookplate. ADULTS ONLY (violence, language, defecation, strong sexual content, all manner of depravity). I will not be selling copies, so the best way to get it and guarantee your book plate(s) is to pre-order directly from The Mansion Press. Coming fall 2022. Link below for all your ordering info and a bunch of sample images (you can even read the first 5 pages from “Death of the Bat”!).
