The premiere issue of Sham Comics being published by Source Point Press was featured yesterday on Bleeding Cool. It's very gratifying to see all the excitement being generated by this release. For those who've not read any Sham books, they are public domain comics from the forties and fifties with all the text rewritten as satire, including the ads. The first issue has stories by me and special guest writer, Daryll Collins. It stars a rampaging robot named Bozo, the flatulent superheroes known as The Red 'Roid & Pooter, Randy Rocket the horny astronaut, and much more. Source Point will be releasing Sham Comics 1-6 on a monthly basis.

Ral Buldhar: A Dungeons and Dragons Art Show

Art by John Sebastian

“At the confluence of The Cascades and the River Eyathyr, three great kingdoms also intersect. Between them all is a towering spire of rock, buttressed by enormous stone monoliths in the form of ancient giants. Atop this spire, creatures of all races meet to trade, negotiate, argue, and find their fortunes. This is Ral Buldhar, the City of Giants.”

In the summer of 2018, twelve writers, performers, and artists, strangers to each other, assembled in Cincinnati to undertake the adventure of a lifetime: a campaign of Dungeons and Dragons. Split evenly into two tables of six, this group of met weekly for three months to roll dice, role play, laugh, and explore Ral Buldhar - where fate had greatness in store for each of them.

On January 11th, we invite you to the opening of an art show made up of work from their experience playing together.

Performances: TBA
