31 Days of HIGH MOON

This month marks the third anniversary of HIGH MOON as a digital comic series, it also marks a year since the publication of the HIGH MOON trade. All of that is very exciting stuff. To commemorate the event, Steve Ellis and I will be spending the entire month of October sharing a lot of HIGH MOON related goodies. We’ll talk about the HIGH MOON video game, discuss our experiences about Zuda, show a bunch of great HIGH MOON related art, discuss the Tristan spin-off, the planned anthology, the fifth season, we'll also link to some online interviews, and maybe even have a contest or two.

It is our way of saying ‘Thank You’ to all of our readers and fans for their tremendous support during our last three years at DC Comics.

So, grab your Stetson and your six-shooter -- and join us as we celebrate with a BANG!

What you were never meant to see ...

In the course of creating HIGH MOON, I tend to doodle quite a bit. These doodles help me break down my rather compliacted ideas into more manageable, bite-sized pieces. These doodles also help Steve Ellis understand exactly how I percieve a particular page. 

Here are two such doodles from some pages of HIGH MOON created on my tablet PC:

So, when you see these pages online, I think you'll understand why I stick to writing. 

 

Please Hammer Don't Hurt Them

The HIGH MOON team would like to congratulate the creative team behind THE HAMMER. Not only did they win this month's Zuda competition - but they also drew this rad piece of art featuring everybody's favorite werewolf-thing!

HIGH MOON Gets An 'A'

The folks at WeeklyComicBookReview.Com took a look at HIGH MOON. This is just a little of what they had to say:

The story is well paced, grabbed my interest very quickly, and kept me turning the page. The protagonist is intriguing as is the nature of the man, Conroy, whom he is pursuing. The artwork by Steve Ellis is solid as well. The style of his art really suits the tale and is evocative of the hot and dusty setting where the story dwells. The highest compliment I can pay this comic is that by the end I found myself needing and wanting more. ... (Grade: A)

There's more to the review, so give it a read right here!
