[comics/x] JOHNNY RYAN NEWS
From - ahem - Loady McGee:
Hello, all!
Just a note to let you know that Johnny's forthcoming book, PORTAJOHNNY, will be hitting bookstores in May 2003. This fat'n'juicy 160-page paperback features early self-published AYC comix as well as a heap of other comic rarities. Start saving your pennies today!
* We've also recently added over 20 new pieces of original art (including the Portajohnny cover and Blecky Yuckerella comic strips!) to the Comic Art Collective. There's something available in every price range, from Hobo to Your Highness, so check it out today. Just go to
http://www.comicartcollective.com and click on
"New Additions"-- or click on "Johnny Ryan" to see the full range of available work.
* Johnny will be signing comix and kissing babies at the LA Times Book Fair, which will be held on the UCLA campus on the weekend of April 26-27. He will be signing at the HI DE HO Comics booth, as will ink studs Jaime Hernandez, Steven Weissman and others. Once the exact signing times are nailed down, we'll post a notice on the AYC Group message board.
* Johnny is slaving away at AYC #5, the special Eurocomix artfag issue, which will be released in August 2003 in time for the San Diego Comic-Con.
* Don't forget to check out Johnny's weekly Shouldn't You Be Working? sketchbook doodles, posted every Monday on http://www.johnnyr.com . If that ain't enough, his weekly comic strip BLECKY YUCKERELLA appears every Thursday (and appears in full color each month in VICE).
* As previously noted, Johnny did the comic book cover as well as a two-page spread for Nickelodeon magazine's April issue. That's three full-color pages of all-new Johnny Ryan art-- don't miss this greasy kid's stuff!
That's it for now-- stay tuned to the AYC message boards for further news and developments.
Yours 'til Niagara Falls,
Loady McGee
