It’s official. The softcover SiP Omnibus is coming in June. Two 1,014-page books for one price… $100. That’s every story, every cover, every page I ever published that had anything to do with the series, including the one-shots and short stories. That my friends, is a lot of drawing.

Wow, I can’t believe it’s just days away—the first convention of 2013.

I call it, DOUCHE BAG!

The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund offered original sketches to supporters who made donations. I contributed the following three of Katchoo (SiP), Julie (Echo) and Rachel (Rachel Rising). These went right to donors so they’re not available. Just sharing so you will know, the CBLDF is a rewarding group to support.

Where are you with the SIP novel?
