Second Issue of Devil Water & Family Bones in November Previews

Thank you!!! We owe
the fans a big thanks for coming out and ordering. Family
Bones #1 and Devil Water #1 did fantastic sales. They beat
expectations and will soon be sold out. That's right!
SOLD OUT! We've still got some copies left
at the store,
but I don't expect to have anymore as we near the X-Mas season.
Get yours now.

Don't forget to put in your
orders for #2 of each. Both second issues get even better,
and we've still got to make sure Diamond gets enough orders to
keep carrying our books. To sweeten the pot, we're
offering retailers a special FREE signed variant of #1 for every
10 copies of #2 they order. Ask your retailer to get you a

How are we doing?

The webcomics are starting to come along. We've had a great number of orders for Devil Water and Family Bones from the comic book retailers. But what do you think?

What could we do better? Do you like the format of the webcomics?
Both Innocent and Alecto are JUST starting to gear up. I think some people are going to be shocked by the direction Innocent takes. Hopefully in a good way, but small children might need to hide their eyes.

Murder tale to be told in comic book

One of Missouri's most infamous murder cases will be told in a comic book by a man who said he was related to Ray and Faye Copeland.

The north Missouri residents were convicted in the slayings of five transients in Livingston County as part of a cattle swindle in the late 1980s.

The comic book, Family Bones, will go on sale at specialty comics' shops in November from King Tractor Press, a small independent publisher. The writer is Shawn Granger, 36, who said he visited the Copelands when he was growing up. Ray Copeland, who died in 1993 while awaiting execution, was his great-grandmother's brother, Granger said.

Al Copeland, Ray and Faye's son, said he had never heard of Granger but said he might be a distant relative. The comic book is scheduled to run 10 issues.

The story is based on actual events, a news release said, but in a phone interview, Granger said he changed some details.

'It's not a blow-by-blow account of what happened,' Granger said."

Not too bad considering that this interview didn't start off too well. I'm not sure what the whole "might be a distant relative." thing is. It's easy enough to find out whether or not I'm fibbing about Ray being my great-grandmother's brother, or that I grew up in Missouri. Oh well...it's not the worst thing that has been said about me. Funny how an hour long interview gets whittled down into just a sliver.

Nice to see that word is traveling about the comic books.

FRONT PAGE news!! Family Bones lands on St. Joseph paper.

Today in the St. Joseph Press Newspaper it has a cover story on Family Bones, "Grisly case finds new audience
Shawn Granger doesn't remember going to the Ray and Faye Copeland farm as a kid. But the Kansas City native said he is sure that he did.Monday, October 02, 2006"

I haven't a clue to how accurate or flattering the piece is, but I'd love to get a copy if anyone is nearby. It's not every day that we make the front page.
