31 Days of HIGH MOON: Happy Birthday Zuda Comics

This month we've been celebrating the anniversary of HIGH MOON, which launched three years ago this day -- at approximately this time on the Zuda Comics website. Not so coincidentally, Zuda Comics also launched on this time, on this day, three years ago.

This is their celebration as much as it is ours.

HIGH MOON wouldn't be what it is without the integrity, hard work, and incredible determination of folks like Kwanza Johnson, Ron Perazza, Nika Vagner, Dave McCullough, Mike Zagari, Micheal Wright, Jessica Numsuwankijkul, Maria Cabardo, Paul Levitz, and many others. We owe our success to you -- and we can't possibly thank you enough.

Thank you ... and Happy Birthday!

31 Days of HIGH MOON: Guerrilla Geek

The talented folks at Guerrilla Geek took the opportunity to interview Steve Ellis about the anniversary of HIGH MOON. Please take a moment to check out this great site and read this amazing interview.

31 Days of HIGH MOON: Where High Moon Started From ...

Six years ago today, I drew this sketch from this crazy dream I had about a werewolf western series. And HIGH MOON was born -- sort of. Back then, Matthew Macgregor borrowed heavily from Gun Smoke and Have Gun, Will Travel -- but things changed, Steve Ellis and Scott O. Brown came on board -- Macgregor and the series took on a life of its own. And I'm grateful it did.

But, everything started here -- with this humble sketch ... six years ago.

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!
