A “new” story by Carl Barks & John Lustig!

In February, Boom! Studios is publishing a totally new version of a Carl Barks’ plotted story. The story has a new title “Somewhere BEYOND Nowhere”; a new script (by me); and art by the great Daan Jippes. It’s 12 pages long.
Why did I want to do a new version–especially since I scripted the original 2000 version? Well, that’s a bit of a story in itself…

Isabell’s Inventions
In going through material for Last Kiss, I’ve read some odd romance comics. But “Isabell’s Inventions” from Charlton’s Teen-Age Confidential Confessions #10 is more than just a bit wackier than most!

Portland and Plans for Last Kiss Goodies
I’m heading to Oregon for the Portland Comic Book Show, Nov. 21. The Sunday show is my last convention of the year. The Portland con is always one of my favorites. It’s a nice crowd and con organizer Richard Finn always treats his guests like visiting royalty.
The next day I’m meeting with the marketing staff of Dark Horse Comics (just outside Portland) to discuss some crazy ideas I have for my new Dark Horse products.
I want to run a much bigger (and sillier) version of the Last Kiss contest that I ran on Facebook earlier this week. If Dark Horse likes it, the plan ought to go something like this…
People will post photos of themselves with one or more of my Last Kiss goodies from Dark Horse. Prizes for the first photos posted; the silliest photos; the most romantic photos; etc.
Of course, to win you’ll need to have a Last Kiss mug, sticky note book or metal case. So ordering one now wouldn’t be a bad idea.
Win Stuff and Make Me Happy
I’m giving away four Last Kiss cards apiece to 10 people who make me happy. How can you make me happy? Simple.
1. If you haven’t already become an official fan of my Last Kiss Facebook page then go to my page and click “like.”
2. Post an image to my Last Kiss Facebook page . It can be a photo or drawing of yourself or something else. (Your Facebook profile pic would work swell.)
As long as it isn’t obscene, I’ll accept it.
3. Look over the Last Kiss products from Dark Horse. You don’t have to buy anything. But be ready to tell me which one you like best.
4. Plus, tell me which state or province you live in.
Restrictions:
You must live in the U.S. or Canada to qualify for the free cards. (Sorry, I can’t afford the postage overseas.)
Only the first 10 people who post (and follow all the above rules) win.
Prize:
Four Last Kiss note or greeting cards to each winner.
People Who’ve Already Posted:
Quite a few people signed up for my Last Kiss Facebook page over the weekend. And several posted as if the contest had already begun.
If you’re one of those people, I salute your enthusiasm and I want to reward your initiative. But it isn’t fair to give you the same prize as people who waited and submitted properly. So you’ll get something–just not as much. I’ll be contacting you via Facebook.
Now that the contest has gone live and you’ve got all the info, you eager beavers are welcome to post again (remember to mention which state you live in this time) and possibly win a second time.
Love and Last Kisses,
John
Photos from Long Beach Comic Con 2010
Costumed fans are the norm at most large comic book conventions. But the Long Beach Comic Con seemed to have an unusually large number of costumes–many of them were truly spectacular. I suspect it had something to do with the convention being held Halloween weekend.
In fact, kids were let in free on Halloween. And many exhibitors (including myself) had candy on hand for trick-or-treaters.
To see more photos, check out the Long Beach Comic Con photos on the Last Kiss Facebook page.
