BALTIMORE BOUND!

It’s nearly here! One of my favorite comic conventions of the year! BALTIMORE COMIC-CON! For 25 years now, Baltimore Comic-Con has been a wonderful, family-friendly, comics-oriented show. Just check out this list of COMIC CREATORS guests! Plus even more comics folks in ARTIST ALLEY!

Looking to fill in the gaps of your comics collection or snag some cool comics-inspired memorabilia? The RETAILERS of Baltimore Comic-Con can help with that!

And, yes, there will be some cool MEDIA GUESTS there as well, including the original FLASH from the ’90s TV series, John Wesley Shipp!

Plus publishers, podcasters, and more!

Hope to see you there!!!

New in the Storrieville Bookshop

A special hardcover edition of STAR TREK ALIEN SPOTLIGHT Vol. 1 is now available in the bookshop! It includes the Andorians story by myself and artist Len O’Grady, along with: Romulans by John Byrne; Gorn by Scott & David Tipton and David Messina; Vulcans by James Patrick and Josep Maria Beroy; Orions by Scott & David Tipton and Elena Casagrande; and Borg by Andrew Stephen Harris and Sean Murphy.

HEADING BACK TO G.R.!

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!

STANLEY & THE FORGOTTEN FOREST!

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!

On the Road Again (though not very far)

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.)

I’LL SEE YOU IN BALTIMORE!

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!
