Welcome to the All-New, All-Different (but in many ways the same) Storrieville!
I am your host, Comics’ Paul D. Storrie. Thanks for stopping by.
I’ve had the same web design for the whole of the site’s existence, so I thought it was probably past time for a change. I expect it will take me a bit before I’ve got the hang of all this.
Over the next few hours/days/weeks, I’ll be updating the Storrieville 2.0 to include all the content from the old site and, hopefully, more!
That’s right, November 11-13, you’ll be able to find me at Grand Rapids Comic Con! I had a wonderful time at their Spring Fling back in April, so I’m really excited to check out the Big Show at DeVos Place. Visiting G.R. is always like coming home, since I went to college there and lived there for several years after. Hope to see friends old and new at the show!
Unless things change in the next month or so, it’s looking like I’ll be closing out my convention season with a bang at the always-fantastic Baltimore Comic-Con October 28-30! I hope to see lots of you there. Check out the website for the legion of amazing guests they’ve got lined up.
As in, a video trailer for the book! Check it out!
In Stores now! Story by Jeff Balke & Paul D. Storrie, Script by Paul D. Storrie, Cover & Interior Art by David Alvarez, Colors by Jeff Balke, and Letters by Janice Chiang. Spooky Season has arrived and so has another tail…er…tale of Stanley & Friends.
Just as Halloween arrives, Chester Chipmunk claims to have solved the mystery of why a nearby woodland is known as the Forgotten Forest. His friends are sure that this is just another of his elaborate pranks. The thing is, his duck friend Billy Billington is going along with it and those two never agree! Reluctantly, Stanley Squirrel and his other friends agree to go along to learn the truth. Only what they find in the shadows under the leaves is far more weird and frightening than how the forest got its name!
April 8-10th I’ll be heading back to my old stomping grounds of Grand Rapids, Michigan! GR has a special place in my heart, because I went to college over there and lived there for several years after. So when I was asked to be a guest at the Grand Rapids Comic Con Spring Fling, I was ecstatic!
Hope to see you there!
Convention season has rolled around again and, having been vaxxed & boosted, I feel fairly comfortable doing the convention circuit once more. You could say I’m easing into it, because my first show of the year is the Great Lakes Comic Convention in nearby Macomb, Michigan! Truth is, I’d be doing this show even if I weren’t so close by. It’s a fun, family-oriented show with lots of cool guests and vendors. Check out the link to see all the details. Hope to see you there! (Have to admit, I’m running late with the notice, because the show is in just a few days, on Friday February 25th & Saturday the 26th! I’m rusty on convention prep after the last couple years.)
Anyone who knows me or has followed me on social media for very long knows that I love the Baltimore Comic*Con! So I’m excited to remind folks that I’ll be there October 22-24, meeting, greeting, and hawking my wares. Very much looking forward to seeing old friends & fans and making new ones. You’ll be able to find me at BOOTH 3904, between Steve Conley and Thom Zahler, two of those aforementioned old friends and tremendously talented cartoonists both.
An FYI: From what I understand it’s becoming harder and harder to find copies of the now out-of-print (last I heard) Harley Quinn & the Gotham Girls TPB. That being the case, I’m happy to report that I’ll have a bunch (out of my very last box) at the con! Pick one up, have it signed with a smile. OK, technically I’ll be signing with a pen, but I’ll be smiling as I do so!
Now in stores, Justice League Unlimited: Girl Power. It’s a digest-sized compilation of stories featuring the women of the JLU. Included is Justice League Unlimited #20, a story I wrote that was illustrated by Rich Burchett, Lettered by Travis Lanham, and Colored by Heroic Age. A close up of the cover by Ty Templeton has been used as the cover for the collection as well!
Here’s the catalogue description: Eight action-packed adventures featuring the incredible women of the DC Universe! When a Justice League mission goes bad, can Supergirl and Mary Marvel step in to save the day? Meanwhile, Wonder Woman battles the Cheetah while Natasha Irons takes on a robot attack. Then, it’s a true “Battle of the Sexes” when Wonder Woman’s Amazon sisters suddenly turn against Man’s World!
Collects Adventures in the DC Universe #3-6, #9; Justice League Adventures #4; Justice League Unlimited #20-22, #35-42.
Next weekend, July 23rd & 24th, I’ll be in Dayton, Ohio for the Gem City Comic Con! I hope to see lots of friends and fans there! I’m fully vaxxed and looking forward to getting back into the convention swing of things. Hope you are too!

Wow, I haven’t updated in a long time and I got some amazing news not too long ago!
JOHN CARPENTER PRESENTS STORM KIDS: STANLEY’S GHOST was nominated for an Eisner Award in the Best Single Issue category. Sending out a big salute to all my cohorts who also worked on it — Jeff Balke (writing & colors), Dave Alvarez (interior & cover art), Janice Chiang (letters), and the captain of the ship, Sandy King Carpenter!
The awards will be announced sometime in July during Comic-Con @ Home (next weekend, the 22nd through the 25th, I believe).
