L' ESCADRON PERDU

The Lost Squad invades France!

French publisher Akileos are publishing the adventures of the Lost Squad in Europe.

Here's a shot of the cover.

The Akileos representatives approached Devil's Due and myself about the foreign reprint rights at Comicon in 2006. They were very enthusiastic about the project and at that time, wanted to have the black and white artwork colored.

While they didn't opt for color, they have put together a terrific looking volume for the European market.

And, I can add the title of "Scenariste" to my resume.
Check out the squad speaking French.

Anyone interested in purchasing the Akileos volume can find it available from Amazon.fr , FNAC.com, or Sceneario.com

Indie Pulp interview


The fine folks over at the Indie Pulp blog turned their gaze on little ol' me for their Sketchbook Spotlight interview. It's 20 questions where I ramble about myself.
The site went live last June and contains a ton of cool commentary about Comics and DVD's. Give it a gander.
BIG thanks to Bernie Gonzalez for the exposure.
Check out Bernie's artwork over at the Element X Studios site. SHARP stuff!

Lost Squad on your phone.

I missed this announcement last month.
Devil's Due is really making an effort to put their comics in people's hands in different media. Whether it's Pullbox Online or this particular deal with uclick.
I am all for pushing Lost Squad onto different platforms (any videogame developers out there?) and finding new markets. Hopefully, slowly, more people will give comics and graphic novels a chance. Anything that can potentially bring in more eyeballs is fine with me.
And, I really dig that they used the LS #1 cover as well. That rocks.
