While much more of an update is needed for my other comics activities, it's time to announce that on Tuesday September 4th The Adventures of Simone & Ajax returns as a weekly webstrip at www.simoneandajax.com. Every Tuesday read a new installment of their misadventures, starting with "Hi-Seas Hijinx," a swashbuckling saga of pirates and plunder.

To celebrate the launch of the S&A webstrip, I'll be attending several upcoming comic-cons. First up is the Baltimore Comic-Con on September 8 and 9 where you'll find me in Artists Alley. There are two special S&A tie-ins for this con. I will be doing a special, con-exclusive, limited-edition of 100 print of Simone & Ajax. If all 100 are sold at the con, I will donate 20% of the proceeds to The Hero Initiative, a good cause.

Simone & Ajax are also appearing in a pin-up alongside the Liberty Meadows gang in the limited-edition Liberty Meadows 15th Anniversary book that will be available at the Con. The original art for many of the pin-ups in this book will be auctioned off at the Con, and while I've done Simone & Ajax sketches for fans, this pin-up is the first finished piece of Simone & Ajax art to ever be sold, so if you are a big fan of Simone & Ajax, this is a rare opportunity. Also, I will donate my half of the sale price to The Hero Initiative, so the buyer will be supporting both the Baltimore Comic-Con and THI.

Next up is the Las Vegas Comics Expo on September 29 and 30. You'll again find me in the Artists Alley, where I'll have Simone & Ajax merchandise and other original art and comics by me. After that I'll be at the first 2 days of the New York Comic-Con on October 11 and 12. I won't be set up there, but you might catch me at a signing or just wandering around.
Also, earlier this year I completed the first-ever story of my character, Monica Moon, for inclusion in an upcoming anthology from Mansion Comics.
However, not wanting to keep people waiting, I've printed a limited-edition of 200 copies in full-color available only at my con appearances for only 99c. Stop by and pick up your copy.
More on my other comics activities, including my work on The Simpsons, Futurama, and Fables-related titles in the next update.
