All the dangerous elements in this last chapter of Welcome to Dunwich are coming together, making it a blast to draw. Here a news helicopter, sent to explore odd weather in isolated Dunwich, is just discovering the mayhem on the ground. In the color stage, the chopper will be shown hit by lightning. |

I've been doing illustration work I'm not allowed to share yet, that "Project Bud" I mentioned last week. I hope to have more for you to see soon!

My dad, Alan Beatty, had a good Veteran's Day last week. He joined the Naval Reserves in 1951 and served on the U.S.S. New Jersey, a battleship in Korea. He became the secretary to the commander of the supply department and passed ammunition to the anti-aircraft, 30mm guns. He was also operations communicator for the admiral, passing his orders to 12 different stations on the 108 foot long ship. Dad has my respect for serving honorably in the Korean War.

I had a good time visiting Vince Locke as he tabled Tardy's Collector's Corner in Grand Rapids Saturday. I've been talking to Vince at shows since our late-'80s, post-punk days, before he was hired away from Caliber Comics to work for DC's Vertigo line. Vince's art graces to pages of the new Joe Hill line comic, The Dollhouse Family. He also runs a great Patreon page here. |

Tardy's, a comic shop since 1979, has been owned by Gavin and Deanna Willard for three years. I enjoy basking in their enthusiasm every time I see this pair of young comic shop owners. Visit them in Grand Rapids, or online here.

Friend of Aazurn Joseph Duis' Heresy Studios has an interesting Kickstarter ending very soon. Golden Age superheroes get existential in Superheresies, described as "If Rod Serling had created superhero comics." |
|
I'm big on doing things differently and Joseph has that down. You may remember his Doctor Orange, a Halloween-themed psychological horror comic. I'm looking forward to enjoying Superheresies, it looks like a hoot! Check it out here.

Also ending very soon, Dirk Manning's The Tales of Mr. Rhee Omnibus: Act One on Kickstarter, from Source Point Press. 550-plus pages collecting the first four graphic novels, with art by Joshua Ross, Seth Damoose, Anthony D. Lee, and more (including a cover by The Crow creator James O'Barr). Worth checking out here. |
|
Manning's Mr. Rhee kept me from creative depression years ago when DC decided to make their John Constantine: Hellblazer character into a super hero, with magic emitting from his freakin' fingers like a freakin' children's cartoon. Mr. Rhee soothed my anger. There are good reads out there!

As winter engulfs us, remember to connect with friends and strangers, and not just electronically. The holidays are a valuable time for digital detox. We need human connections. The web is a wonderful gift for information, but an attention sucking monster. Strike a balance, heavily weighed to the human side, and you'll be OK.
In glorious service to our Aazurn overlords,
