Flashback to Before The Internet: Underground Comix

Posted by mistergroonk in Art, Comics, Flickrlicious, Panel Perfect on July 7, 2010

The Cartoon History of the Universe 01

Some time ago, SciFi Wire reported:

The underground comix of the ’60s and ’70s were NSFW long before any of us had ever heard of NSFW. Often available only in head shops, these alternative publications delivered a dose of sex, drugs and violence then missing from mainstream comic books.

Panel Perfect: Preview Fraction, Moon and Ba’s “CASANOVA” #1 in Dimension-Altering Full Color!

Posted by mistergroonk in Comics, Just Freaking Neat, Panel Perfect on June 16, 2010

This July, the most popular mind-bending, sci-fi spy opus of the decade returns with Casanova #1, from the Eisner Award-winning team of Matt Fraction, Gabriel Bá and Fábio Moon, now exclusively at Icon! Fans new and old will be able to experience the exhilarating and crazy antics of agent Casanova Quinn as he gets abducted across space and time to infiltrate his own father’s E.M.P.I.R.E of law and order – in FULL COLOR! Also, fans will be treated to an ALL-NEW backup by Gabriel Bá and Fábio Moon

Explaining the refreshing, wondrous joy that is Casanova will have to come later. Just know that we took the extra ten minutes to share this 3 page preview. The end game of this tactic? Blind hope that just one person will run a search for a new science fiction, dimension-hopping, super-espionage tome of fiction that’ll please that part of you previously unappeasable.

Yeah, it’s like that.

Also, you’ll get classic Matt Fraction lines like:

“Whatever — he’s an arrogant SPECIAL EFFECT, and I’m gonna FUCK HIM UP for MONEY.”-Casanova Quinn

You know you want more.

Josh Cooley’s “Inappropriate Golden Books” are Amusing, Beautiful

Posted by mistergroonk in Art, Artist, Books, Just Freaking Neat, Movies, Panel Perfect on June 3, 2010

Little Golden Books were children’s tales that consisted of the Pokey Little Puppy, which resided in our kid library, and many others. Josh Cooley has taken scenes from several hard R popular movies and made them darkly amusing. We’re looking forward to owning the book.

After finally seeing THE GODFATHER I and II last weekend, this following panel has become an instant favorite.

Coming Soon: TWO-STEP, “a Sciencefictional Romance with Guns and Swearing”

Posted by mistergroonk in Comics, Panel Perfect on April 7, 2010

Apparently, TWO-STEP, a sciencefictional romance with guns and swearing in three issues that I wrote for Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti to draw, is being collected into a trade paperback by DC. It was originally published… god, 2003?

Like the man said. He wrote it in 2003. Based on the cover illustration alone we can tell Conner and Palmiotti “drew the shit out of it.” Plus “there’s a bloke in there who fucks cars.”

Ellis says this madness will be available in collected form in November.

Two April Fools That Should Be April Truth. Yes, an iPad is Involved

Posted by mistergroonk in Comics, Panel Perfect, Technology on April 2, 2010

Every April Fools the thousand thousand joksters that inhabit Internet and Twitter believe they are a thousand thousand times funnier than on any other day. We tend to ignore the day as best we’re able. Yet here are two items that managed to cross from the stream into consciousness and make us think, ‘this should be a real thing. It should happen.

And here they are:

1) Top Shelf Announces ‘League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: 1988”

Lisa(Weird Science), MacGyver(MacGyver), Doc Brown(Back to the Future), Mr. T (80s The A-Team ), and Jack Burton (Big Trouble in Little China) band together to fight the evilest evil of the 1980s. A mysterious shadow consortium known only as The Empire plots to destroy American icons from the inside out. The League failed once already. Superman III was a blight on many young souls.

Emboldened by this dastardly move, The Empire decides to go for the jugular. This time they will strike so hard, so ruthless, that no one would be spared. People would speak of the stench for decades to come. This time, The Empire would make the ultimate of all evil adaptations in order to weaken the spirits of geeks all over the nation. This time they will make Howard the Duck: The Movie.

The extraordinary League of 1988 has their work cut out for them.

Top Shelf, if you don’t make this vision come true, there will be blood.

2) iCade – iPad Arcade Cabinet

We have a very strong sense that in a month to two months time, this will become a reality. It’s not like this gag hasn’t happened before.
