Mr. Scootles - When two college students watch a cursed film reel starring the forgotten 1930's cartoon character Mr. Scootles, they unknowingly set off a chain of events that could lead to Hell on Earth. Featuring a cast that includes a beautiful skirt-wearing demon, a bloodthirsty professor, a warrior angel, Judas, and the Devil herself. Mr. Scootles is a mystery-filled tale that is a tribute to the art of animation and its creators. Vincent - Meet Vincent. He's a brilliant painter and a brilliant murderer. Watch him create as he destroys. Each copy of this book is handmade and comes complete with a Vincent mini-scarf bookmark. Just about as cool as a mini-comic can get! Tara Normal (Webcomic) - Tara is a licensed paranormal investigator who solves the bizarre, otherworldly mysteries that haunt each episode using her inherited supernatural abilities.
Through her investigations of the extraordinary, Tara hopes to one day solve the greater mystery of who her birth parents are, and whether or not her abilities played a part in their decision to give her up for adoption. Guided by her mysterious spectral friend, the Shadowman and encouraged by her adoptive father, magic store owner Abe Normal, Tara's ultimate quest is for the truth. Each time Tara proves a ghost story is real or confirms the existence of extraterrestrials she feels vindicated by knowing that the world is full of wonderfully uncategorizable people and things. It validates her pride in her abilities and her lack of shame about embracing what is considered strange by society. Tara's spooky adventures first lead her to a quiet farm in western Pennsylvania where she seeks to uncover the facts behind a simple farmer's claim that aliens are raiding his pet cemetery. Her next case brings her back home to Maryland to investigate the cryptozoological mystery, the Goatman, and its connection to a young couple mysterious murdered on Crybaby Bridge. As her investigations continue, she will have to face a werewolf, pirate ghosts, more aliens and her toughest adversaries of all, skeptical adults. Her search for the truth brings her closer to danger when a mysterious FBI agent with evil intentions discovers Tara has a connection to the paranormal other than simply investigating its mysteries.

After he transferred to Central Michigan University he got further experience in cartooning with the publication of two new comics in his school paper (CMLife, which ran his "Mother's Goofs" and "Waste Products of a Warped Vision" comics for three and a half years). It was also at CMU that he met the love of his life, Laura Tanner, who, for the first time ever, gave him something to cherish that he didn't create on a sheet of paper. Today he's a self described "moderately successful cartoonist" living in mid Michigan with his true love, very happy and always looking forward to creating something new. His first graphic novel, Dead Duck, is about to be released through Ape Entertainment in December. Comments[0] |

Wed, 11 November 2009 Featured Guests - Stephen Lindsay and Lauren Monardo
About Lauren - Lauren Monardo first splashed onto the comic scene in Jesus Hates Zombies: Those Slack Jaw Blues with friend and collaborator Stephen Lindsay. After completing three JHZ tales and additional artwork, Lauren and Stephen went on to develop their new ongoing comic The Slightly Askew Adventures of Inspector Ham and Eggs.
Second only to working on comics is Lauren's love of storyboarding! Lauren's first storyboard revision job was on the World Leaders/Granada Kids production "Super Normal". From there Lauren took a storyboard/animatic position for the "League of Evil" Net 10 commercials. These experiences ultimately lead to her position as Storyboard Revisionist on the hit Cartoon Network series "Venture Bros."
About Stephen - Who am I? Well, I'm a husband, a father, a writer and a fairly average dude living his life as best he can. That's about it. I was born and raised in Rochester, New York where I still live. I went to SUNY Fredonia in Western New York and graduated with a degree in English. After college I dabbled in filmmaking - writing, producing, directing and editing no-budget flicks along with my best friend Michael Bartolotta. Film will always be a love of mine, but it burned me out really quick. After a few years of constantly struggling to find the resources to try to tell the stories we wanted to tell on film, I'd had enough. But the desire to tell stories is a strong one. If it takes hold of you, you'll have the desire all your life.
So I needed a new outlet for my storytelling. One that wouldn't have me away from my family so much and one that wouldn't require constantly begging for funding. It was around that time that I rediscovered comics. Books like 30 Days of Night, The Goon and The Walking Dead really opened my eyes to where comics had gone since I stopped reading them as a kid. And I was impressed. Really impressed. So I decided to see if I could make a comic happen. Luckily, I live in the wonderful world of the Internet and was able to connect with terrific artists from all over world.
So that's how it all started. Where I go from here is anyone's guess. All I know is that as long as people keep reading my stuff, I'm gonna keep writing it! Comments[0] |

Wed, 28 October 2009 Featured Guest...
Jake Ekiss, one of the principal organizers of Indy Comic Book Week, stops by to chat up the "call to action" that is this end of year event for independent and small press comics.
What is Indy Comic Book Week? Quoting their official site for all the details, most of you know that Diamond Comic Distributors has announced they will not ship any new comics for the last week of December. As this company is a primary distributor of comic books in North America, event organizers took what was a sad week without our favorite mainstream titles and retooled it as an opportunity to fill this vacancy with independent and small press comics allowing the creators to claim the week as their own.
Indy Comic Book Week challenges writers and artists to self publish new material for the week, and offer it to their local stores. Event organizers ask retailers to take this as an opportunity to showcase local independent talent on the new release shelves. They're also encouraging fans to break from their buying habits and try something new.
"Raise your fist and proudly declare that comic books are more than an industry, more than a handful of corporations - it is a creative outlet for independent-minded artists and storytellers. This last week of 2009 belongs to you. Power to the people. Right on." Comments[0] |

Sat, 8 August 2009 Over the past weekend, I had the great pleasure to spend a few hours hanging out with Ron Fortier, Bill Gladman, Raichal Gladman, Mark Maddox, Rob Davis and others at Pulpfest (www.pulpfest.com)! "The Summer's Leading Pulp Convention," PulpFest 2009 was a new and improved version of the venerable convention of years past catering to fans and collectors of vintage popular fiction and if what I saw was any indication, it was a massive success.
During the event, as part of the con's The New Fictioneers programming, Ron Fortier tooks to the stage and read a chapter from his latest Captain Hazzard novel,Cavemen of New York.
If you don't know Ron, you must be new to Comic Related as he is one of the site's true founding fathers. Ron has also been a professional writer for over thirty years, best known for his work in the comics field but quickly making an equal name for himself in the world of pulp. In comics, his Green Hornet series for Now Comics is fondly remembered. With artist Rob Davis, he launched Airship 27 Productions, a company devoted to producing new novels and anthologies starring classic pulp heroes from the thirties and forties. Among these is a series based on the 1938 one-shot pulp hero, Captain Hazzard. That, as they say, is where our story (or in this case podcast) begins! Comments[0] |

Wed, 10 June 2009 Chris Claremont has encountered more success than most writers ever dream of. His stories have achieved best-seller status, won numerous awards, and are trend-setters for the industry. Although best known for his work on Marvel Comic's X-Men series, he has written other seminal characters such as Batman and Superman; originated several creator-owned series; is published throughout the world in many different languages; authored nine novels; and even had his first video game premiere in Spring 2006.
His initial unbroken 17 year run on Marvel Comics The Uncanny X-Men is the stuff of industry legend. During that tenure he took a lackluster title and transformed it into the dominant, best-selling title in the industry. His run culminated with the launch of the new title, X-Men, whose first issue sold over 7.6 million copies. No one has yet come close to breaking this record. It is a conservative estimate that Chris has sold in excess of 500,000,000 comics, world wide. Comments[0] |

Sun, 31 May 2009 You will often hear the denizens of Comic Related extol the virtues of brick and mortar comic book stores. This is not only for the obvious reason of that is where we feed our “addiction”, but also because they become like a second home to us, a place away from our everyday realities where we can become lost in fanciful things and where discussion of topics that might illicit vacant stares or raucous laughter elsewhere, are giving true, insightful and in-depth thought. It is a place to hang, to be part of the “tribe” again…a watering hole…an oasis…or maybe a little piece of nirvana placed strategically in a strip mall. Welcome to the Zone. Comments[0] |

About Howie - HC
Noel is an artist, a writer and an all around amazing creator. From
illustrations to caricatures to the stories he tells, he's a talented
individual we're thrilled to have on the show. His work includes titles
such as...
In
each small town in America, unexplained phenomenon occurs every night.
Hauntings. UFO reports. Elvis sightings. The one person best suited to
solve these mysteries is an extremely intelligent teenage girl named
Tara Normal, whose greatest gifts are a host of paranormal abilities
and a quick, deadpan wit. Daring to investigate super secret government
warehouses even after her curfew, no task is too dangerous for Tara
Normal.
About Jay - Raised
on a steady diet of Muppets, newspaper comics and classic television
(which, thirty years ago, was just called "television"), Jay's taste
for pop culture developed early on. For no specific reason, he took to
drawing at age two, and evidently was pretty good at it. Two years
later, there was no doubt in his mind that he wanted to be a cartoonist
when he grew up. Working towards that goal, he won awards in grade
school for his art, corresponded with my idol, Jim Henson, and began
getting some positive attention for his work. High school held similar
successes, ushering him into his earliest forays in freelance
commercial art and professional caricaturing, and garnishing me even
more attention and awards.
In
college he saw his comics published for the first time in his school
paper (the Delta Collegiate, which ran his "Highschool: Part II",
"Cartoon Ruckus" and "Chicken Strips" comics for five years) and began
correspondence with cartoonist Greg Evans (of "Luann" fame), who became
his professional mentor.
