Mechaboys
James Kochalka (w & a & c) Two lovable dirtbag teens, tired of being bullied, build a robot battle suit to take revenge on their entire high school. But they never expected to become… kind of popular? Experience the thrill of keg parties, gym classes, bear attacks, first kisses, cafeteria trays, and car crashes… but with mechanical enhancement! It’s an action-packed dark-comedy teen-romance for the ages, from Eisner Award-winning cartoonist James Kochalka (American Elf, Superf*ckers). TPB • B&W • $19.99 • 192 pages • 7” x 7” • ISBN: 978-1-60309-423-8 Advance solicited for March release! Kochalka’s first book for older readers in some time—like a love-child of Superbad, Carrie, Mean Girls, and Transformers! Genuine high-school sweetness mixed in with robot action and insanity!
and... Mechaboys is at the printer! 2018 is gonna be a good year.
I had to teach myself how to draw a tiger for Johnny Boo Goes Like This! then I had to teach myself how to draw bears for Mechaboys. Today I had to learn how to draw a sports car, for my in-progress graphic novel Duck Fighter.
Mechaboys cover! Book coming spring 2018.
Seven rough versions of the Mechaboys cover design. Book due out Spring 2018.
Another rough test for the Mechaboys cover design. (Book coming 2018).
Mechaboys is out in comic book shops now, and will be out in book stores April 3. I’ll be doing a book release party at Phoenix Books in Burlington, VT on Thursday, April 5, 2018 - 7:00pm
