Summer in full swing…
Where I talk appearances and take a break, do an interview or three, break down my latest releases and finish Boo Bear & Flo.
Hope everyone has been enjoying their summer! It’s been a busy July so I’m planning to take a break in August before things heat up again in September.
Here are some pics from my busy July - a couple of ThunderBoom events in Ottawa (Coles Carlingwood and The Comic Book Shoppe), followed by trips to Kingston’s Nexus and Toronto’s Little Island Comics.
Coming up after my August break? In early September, I’ll be at Ottawa Comic Con and in late September, back to Toronto for an author’s festival! More details next time.
Interviews
I’ve done a few interviews to promote ThunderBoom and my upcoming work. First up is an interview I did for True North Country Comics where we cover a number of topics ranging from my latest reads, ThunderBoom, the dangers of AI, and my upcoming releases:
Coming up are interviews with the Words and Images podcast as well as Sequential magazine.
Exciting Comics in the wild!
The first two issues of Dominion Jack’s return to print are out in the world. Both Exciting Comics 36 and 37 arrived in comic shops in July. Not just in comic shops, I should say…but comic cons like San Diego as well…
Since the last newsletter, the last issue of the current Dominion Jack run was solicited. And here’s the awesome cover by Hugh Rookwood! This issue will be an all-DJ issue, finishing off the book 1 serial and setting up future stories to come.
Growing Up Enchanted in full colour…and hardback!
More new things to talk about. This arrived in the mail this week…advance copies of the special edition of Growing Up Enchanted Book 1! This edition celebrates 25 years of the series in style - the book is now in full colour for the first time, thanks to the efforts of Patrik Mock, Jason Millet, and Steven Legge. As well, the book is in hardcover! We have a new cover from Alex Serra and a gallery of back matter material from the past, including a special treat from Andi Watson.
The book releases in September but you can pre-order now at any online book shop of your choosing.

Boo Bear & Flo: The Dust-Shaped World - Pages 28-30
This is it! The finale to Boo Bear & Flo! Hope everyone enjoyed this fun little tale from Agnes Garbowska and I.
You’ll see that it ends a little bit open-ended. There was talk about doing a full graphic novel, continuing where this left off but we just haven’t been able to find any publisher interest for it over the years. So it stands on its own as a fun little project that we originally did as a webcomic that still makes me laugh and entertains me. I though Agnes’ watercolour art was so wonderful in this story too so I’m glad to share it for you all to see.
That’s it for this month! Enjoy your summer, everyone!
