James Fosdike was interviewed by ABC Radio (”Australia’s version of the BBC,” he says) in his native Australia: in the podcast, he discusses DEADLY and its aboriginal themes as well as the work he’s done with Adelaide’s indigenous community. The podcast is available via Speaking Out on ABC, a show focused on the cultural and political issues affecting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders in Australia. Headphones!

Gabe Ostley (THE HAMMER) and his wife Haruka drew and colored this HIGH MOON fan piece. As Gabe says, “Werewolves are fun.” High moon is available on Comixology — so far there are 7 issues available. More to come.

Gabe Ostley of THE HAMMER tipped me off on this trailer for the comic. It’s got tons of fan art and features the charmingly rudimentary drumming of Meg White. Stop. Hammertime.

To commemorate Dean Haspiel’s recent Emmy win, I wrote this haiku:

Dean won an Emmy

I think that’s pretty alright

Won for Bored To Death

You can read more about Dean’s win on Newsarama. Dean’s Zuda comic, STREET CODE, is available via Comixology.

STREET CODE #1
Dean Haspiel
Jack, a native New York bruiser, is fed up with living in the dregs of a drug-addled Alphabet City where his neighbors are insane shut-ins and his bicycle is always getting stolen. He escapes from Manhattan to Brooklyn to make a fresh start in Carroll Gardens only to face a new strain of street logic — where most everything he encounters is not as it seems. Jack steps in the hazing of eons old rituals as a polarized community begrudgingly changes hands between tribes. With STREET CODE, Dean Haspiel returns to his semi-autobiographical roots and explores the emotional truths between prime and primate.
