FEEDING GROUND Issue 3 _ Preview, Pin-Ups, and T-Shirts

FEEDING GROUND #3 hits stores this week and Archaia has a Preview up on their website. The sequence offers a great glimpse of our re-imagined werewolf myth on the Arizona/ Mexico border.

This issue also features the first of many FEEDING GROUND pin-ups by guest artists. Below are peaks at work by:

Marvel Comics Illustrator and Cover Artist Juan Doe


MAMMAL Artist and Freelance Illustrator Tom Forget


Juan is inspiring and endlessly innovative and Tom paints the pulp of a lost ark of seedy paperbacks. We're lucky to know these guys and for them to bring their crazy skill to our characters.

We also teamed with Fast Custom Shirts to create Tee and Long Sleeve shirts based on the cover to Issue 3. It's set up so that you can choose the flat fill or line art version of the Calavera Skull Image in your own combination of colors. Please spread the word and check out some possible variations below.

VERSION 2

FEEDING GROUND _ Solicitation Update

Some additional backstory: initially, the Archaia website listed the book a 48 pages (accounting for a flip book in which the book is reprinted in Spanish) for $3.95. One problem, our first issue has 28 pages of content (x 2 = not gonna fit). Then, I went to the Previews site (the distribution catalog for comic sales) and discovered that the book was listed at $5.95 (!) and my jaw dropped. After a fitful night's sleep and some phone calls, Archaia is more than on top of resolving Diamond's typo.

In fact, the book will be 64 pages at $3.95. Holeee Mackerel! We were already planning on including some extra content (pin-ups and articles a la Ed Brubaker's incredible Criminal) but I could not hope for a better package for this book. Thanks and cheers to Archaia for taking a chance on us.

One artist that we already have lined up to do some additional art is friend Tom Forget. His work is the best kind of lurid pulp and a great match to the heat of our material. Warning, most of his images are Not Safe For Work but are perfect for your basement office.
