This weekend I received an unexpected box of comps from DC Comics!!!
The DC PRIDE 2022 anthology contains a short story by Giulio Macaione, Aditya Bidikar, and myself about The Ray. Here is a snippet of the story as illustrated by Giulio:
I can’t tell you how thrilling it was to be a part of this book and to return to the company that started my career and was home to me for almost a decade!
The book is in stores next Tuesday, June 7th and I hope you can pick it up and support the massive effort by all involved.
Below is the complete table of contents! Again, can’t explain how thrilling this is to see my name as “Writer” for DC Comics!!!
Next week on release day, I’ll get into a little bit about each story here and the behind-the-scenes of the story creation! This was a very special project and a ton of heart work went into the production. I will be forever grateful for the experience.
And a fun internal update! I have a banner within the newsletter!
Borrowing ideas from client/friend James Tynion IV’s newsletter, I commissioned the lovely and talented Lucas Gattoni (letterer and designer of LIEBESTRASSE and many other great comics) to create something that would fit with all the beautiful designs he created for the print edition of LIEBESTRASSE.
Since June and July are going to be very busy, I wanted to start the design evolution as a way to highlight my exciting schedule…
WORD Bookstore in Jersey City is hosting a discussion on release day, Tuesday 6/28 at 7pm! The lovely and super-talented Phil Jimenez has agreed to appear in conversation and we’ve got a lot to talk about including his Eisner nomination for Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons!!!
You can register here!
The weekend prior, Tim and I will be appearing together in the Artist Alley of the ALA Annual Conference & Exhibition! We don’t have any snazzy graphics yet but we’re hard at work on postcards and other promotions for the show! It’s in Washington, D.C. this year and I am very excited to speak with librarians and educators about our graphic novel!
If you haven’t pre-ordered LIEBESTRASSE yet… you can with this link!
Here are our merged headshots from the application process:
There are some other pending confirmations for this summer and I will keep you updated here (and everywhere) including a trip to San Diego for Comic-Con…!!!
I’ll be back with a newsletter next Tuesday for the DC PRIDE 2022 release day celebration and more updates on the LIEBESTRASSE book launch!
Thank you SO MUCH for reading!
Awesome update! Congratulations! Best wishes for ALA!
Go Greg!!!
