OPENINGS: Joe the Barbarian #1 is due to hit shelves on January 20th and it’s only a dollar. As many of you know Vertigo has been sitting on a lot of my stuff for about a year and a half and I’m thrilled to finally be on the shelves again! There’s a launch party at BERGEN STREET COMICS (between Flatbush & 5th Avenues) Brooklyn on Saturday, January 30th
7pm-close. I believe they’ll have drinks. So feel free to stop on by if you’re in the area and want to see some original Joe pages on the walls.
ART FOR SALE: Now that that Joe will be available, I’m allowed to post and sell everything from issue #1 at least. For the last year or so I haven’t been selling art because I wanted to re-do everything with the release of the book. Paolo, my art dealer at Cadencecomicart.com will be taking care of everything, so come midnight on January 19th the “Sean Murphy” section will be open with art from Joe, Off Road, Outer Orbit, Batman/Scarecrow and a few other things.
And for those asking about the yet-unpublished Hellblazer stuff: a few of those will be available as well. I’m tired of waiting for DC to decide when to publish it, so I’m breaking the rules and letting a few go at a time.
CONS: I’ll be at the Seattle show in March, Charlotte in June, San Diego and NYCC of course. I know I suck at getting to shows but this year will be different because I’m pushing Joe.
COMMISSIONS: I’ll be taking quick commissions at the shows, but only stuff that I can pencil and ink in 15 minutes. There’s no list ahead of time so don’t ask–first come first serve. And before someone asks I never take any commissions other than quick ones at shows.
Thanks to everyone on here and DA for the support. You guys kept me in the buzz even without shit on the shelves, and without you DC’s delays might have tanked me.
