Ep41 - "The Irrepressible Stephen R. Bissette" Part One
Even though he's been retired from comics for the last several years, Steve Bissette is still far and away the biggest "firebrand", politically, to come out of the birth years of Independent Comics in the 1980s and 90s. A close... look at what I consider his best work, TYRANT, as well as the work he's best known for, SWAMP THING

What Stabbing! What promotion!

"Tavern Bully" animation progress by Will Huang

The "Tavern Bully" in the comic and movie goes by the name Techot Thal -but just so nobody think's were ripping off the Star Wars tavern scene we've extended this sequence into a full-on battle- and it's also a great way to start our film off with a bang:)

E35 - "CEREBUS THE POPE" Air date December 10

While reimagining page 327 of CHURCH & STATE as a full-colour piece for auction, Dave Sim muses aloud on "Catholic-bashing", the excesses of the Church in the Middle Ages, the sale of Papal indulgenses -- and thenactual does the entire "Sermon on the Chimney" (pages 327 to 330) in Cerebus' voice. The episode also includes shots of the Church & State original artwork that still exists in the Cerebus Archive.

"Sermon on the Chimney" is the auction piece this week -- it can be personalized to you or someone else for a Christmas gift and will be shipped by FedEx to the winning bidder.
