I just created a new website that has offbeat little articles about all things in the world of comic books that I write. My favorite feature so far is the COMIC BOOK BABE OF THE MONTH.

I feature bits about the weird comics in my collection like a Weird War Tales issue story about a platoon of Nazi Gorrilas, and a Tribute to Hawkman: Chuck Norris with Wings! 

It's still a work in progress but I think it's got some giggles in it.

Part 2 of 3 in the “Who the hell is Logan DeAngelis?” series

 

It was March of 2001. The pixel-based land rush which was the early days of the webcomics scene were a’bornin,  and a funky little comic called KU-2 made its online debut. A heartwarming tale of a foul-mouthed punker from New Jersey (based none too loosely upon myself in the 90s, down to the idiotic haircut) and his adventures in Hawaii with an alien android combined elements of sci-fi, horror and Polynesian mythology which was, at the heart of it all, really just a heartfelt slice-of-life tale with some pretty weird trappings.

The latest issue of Boxoffice magazine (cover dated August 2007, sporting a Stardust cover) features a two-page article about Multiplex written by Chad Greene. Boxoffice, the official magazine of the National Association of Theatre Owners, is only available by subscription, but those of you who don't work at movie theaters can read the text of the article online here.

The first-ever PC Weenies poster prototype arrived at the Sadasivam household this afternoon. And, as a proud papa, I must say that it looks freakin' AWESOME!

Hello! My name is Russ Creech and I am relatively new to the webcomic world. I just figured I would introduce myself here. Right now, I am working on a storyline for a webcomic I would like to start soon. It will be based in a world of today's technology (as in different technologies are beings and such). I was inspired to start this comic after making this video for a competition. I will post an update once I have done more on the comic. Thanks!

There's got to be a reason they call it "New York Pizza" when you're ordering in Los Angeles. Check out my latest strip to find out!

NEW YORK vs. L.A. 

The Examiner, a year-old newspaper in selected cities including Baltimore, has removed all comics from the paper and expanded the games section to fill the rest of the page. Marmaduke, Over The Hedge, Pooch Cafe, Spot the Frog, and other strips are nowhere to be found in the paper starting this Monday, with no word as to why they were removed.

[XEREXES: I think the Examiner did this in every market it's in - I've been told that the DC edition also removed all of its comics]

This is a sketch of mine that Binh transferred onto a small leaf. It'll be sold as part of a fundraiser for New Global Citizens, sponsored by Intersection for the Arts in San Francisco and ALARM Magazine.

Hi, my name is ...

My name is Logan DeAngelis, and I’d like to thank Xaviar for inviting me to be guest Blogger here on Comixtalk this week! Now cue the deafening chorus of comic creators and readers booming across The Internets – millions of voices suddenly crying out in terror, as it were – asking … just who the hell is this guy?

Let’s skim over the basics. I’m a Jersey guy, born and bred and I suppose I have more than my fair share of all that dubious honor would imply. An avid game geek and self admitted nerd, I’d rather eat glass than spend 10 minutes at a baseball game, and I love comic books. I grew up as a kid reading Silver Age DC (memorized Hal Jordan’s Green Lantern Oath as soon as I could read) then did my stint as a Marvel zombie in high school devouring Walt Simonson Thors and Frank Miller Daredevils.

But it wasn’t till I got a job in a comic book store in college that I was exposed to the beautiful underbelly of the indie comic scene and my life was changed forever. Cerebus. Grendel. Love & Rockets. With words that cut you like a rust-flecked razor, and stark black and white imagery that hit you between the eyes like a zip-a-tone sledgehammer, I was in love suddenly with a whole different kind of comic book.

Smartass kid from Jersey, oh what a bitch of a mistress you picked.

This story is like so many others, and maybe very similar to many of you readers’ stories. So I’ll wrap up this brief intro now, and continue tomorrow when things started getting a bit more interesting and my first comics came to life online.

Until then,

Logan

Starting today, I will no longer be known as SeidaiChibi. I'm Silvipera now, and not long ago I became a member of DrunkDuck.com, which in my opinion is the place to post webcomics. My old comic, "Chibi Seidai Sakka", is now "Little Hero Artists." It is no longer an anime, but features character designs thought up by me. To find my comic, just google in "Little Hero Artists", and click on the first link you see. If that doesn't work, try this URL:
