I try not to use this blog for self-promotion so I think it's been one full year to the day since I mentioned here that I write the Garfield comic book published by the fine folks at Boom! Studios. That is to say I write most of it. Last year when I was in the midst of losing my mother, I got behind and a clever gent named Scott Nickel graciously filled in on a few stories. He did such a fine job that I hurried back to my post lest anyone wonder why they needed me. The comic is drawn expertly by Gary Barker, Andy Hirsch and an array of fine guest artists.
In other comic book news involving me: Sergio Aragonés is over his medical problems and drawing pages again for the long-delayed Groo Vs. Conan mini-series from Dark Horse. I expect to be able to announce a release date here shortly. I've also just agreed to write a new, unrelated-to-Groo-or-Garfield comic for another publisher and I think they plan on announcing this at San Diego. I'll try to update you on all this stuff more often than once a year.
