The long out-of-print and impossible to find first issue of Magic Bullet #1 is now available for all your tablet devices via Graphicly: http://graphicly.com/plastic-farm-press/magic-bullet/1

I believe this issue only had a newspaper print run of 500, so it is great to see it alive and still exist in the digital world. The story Joe Carabeo and I have in this premier issue is Black Magic Tales: Reunion. It involves our pals Black Magic, Roxy Monroe, Dean Casanova, and Debbie Dodds as they attend their high school reunion.

The digital download is only $0.99. Please check it out!

The inaugural issue of MAGIC BULLET, featuring comics from Matt Dembicki (XOC, TRICKSTER), Carolyn Belefski (CURLS), Rafer Roberts (PLASTIC FARM, FUBAR 2), and many more. Cover by the amazing Scott White.

RATING: T (Teen)
RELEASED: August 15, 2010

Jimmy Palmiotti asked me to create a pin-up for his new graphic novel, Queen Crab, which is coming out a week from today – March 14, 2012. The project was funded by Kickstarter and will be published by Image Comics. I’ve read the full story and it is really engaging. It captures the essence of locations as well as the characters. The book is hardcover and will be available for $12.99. It is also available for a digital download from comiXology for $5.99 here.


Above is the art I created, which is a conceptual take on Ginger Drake as Queen Crab. I hope you consider buying this book at your local comic shop next Wednesday.

Thanks to Jimmy Palmiotti for this opportunity! Check out more of his work here and on the Paperfilms blog.

VOTE CURLS in The Cartoonist Studio Contest

I have entered my comic strip “Curls” into The Cartoonist Studio Contest. The competition is going on right now and I’d really appreciate your vote. You will need to create an account on thecartooniststudio.com – then you can cast one vote for one cartoonist every six hours. There are many, many strips in the contest, so your vote does matter. You can vote four times a day — every six hours.

Search for “Curls” or “Carolyn Belefski” to cast your vote here: http://www.thecartooniststudio.com/Vote

The way I understand how the contest will be run is: there will be ten rounds of voting, one new cartoon per week will be shown from each contestant. The lowest 10% of the polls at the end of each week will be eliminated, until the final week where the remaining comic will be the winner. Judges will also determine who will be the final winner. The winner of the contest has the opportunity to run their comic on the gocomics.com website, which is good exposure and could lead to greater things. More eyes on Curls is always a positive thing and if you are a fan of my strip, please consider voting and telling your friends. Thank you for your support!

If you follow me on Twitter or are a fan of Curls Studio on Facebook, please bear with me as I promote the contest. It feels like I have to promote it every 6 hours! Thanks for you patience, in advance.
