The last person he thought he'd ever see is back, and she needs his help. Suddenly, Tyler McAllister is drawn back into the world that he thought he had left behind — of metahuman espionage and all-too-human betrayal — that nearly cost him his life.

Daily-ish posts from (usually) Bram and (sometimes) Monica about comics in general, this comic in particular, art, design, publishing, visual culture, and far, far too many things about actual squirrels.

Wow! Cowtown Comix Fest was an awesome time among some terrific people. Thanks again to John Porcellino for putting it all together. Some photos at 7000 BC's Flickr stream and at the event's MySpace photo page.

Traveling this past week, and now we're in Denver for tomorrow's Cowtown Comix Fest at the LoDo Tattered Cover Bookstore. And — just in — the new printing of Death, Cold As Steel, featuring a new cover. See us at the 7000 BC table.And, with any luck, we're stopping by I Want More Comics in the morning to restock them.

"Meehan has crafted a chapter in the early days from the Special Qualities Research Lab’s casefiles that offers here a new, pulp-enthused take on a golden dawn of super heroes .... Chase’s greyscaled artwork is something to be praised. The people look as how real people are supposed to look, and in a 1940s era abundant with manly fedoras and classy dames." The ComicNews.Info review of Death, Cold As Steel.For those of you just joining us, Monica and I produce the Raised By Squirrels series — all available for free download over there at the left, or purchase (which we greatly appreciate) above. Death, Cold As Steel and The Darkness From Warsaw are standalone stories set in the same world, but an earlier time, with artwork by the wildly talented Jamie Chase. All are published under our Panel Press imprint.
If you'd prefer to get your comics digitally, they're available at Scribd and at Literate Machine.

Jeff's put together a roundup of recent reviews of various 7000 BC and 7000 BC member projects, including several of our Panel Press books. Bram 6.20.2009
Just got pointed to Underground, an upcoming series by two major inspirations at Squirrel Central, Jeff Parker and Steve Lieber. Via Midnight Fiction. Just trying to help help them promote what looks to be a great comic; preview here. Bram 6.19.2009
Our friend, poet and novelist Robert Stikmanz will have a party for the release of Sleeper Awakes, the third novel in his Hidden Lands of Nod series on Tuesday, June 23 at BookPeople at 603 N. Lamar in Austin. Each book in the series has a distinct style and tone, and this is a guy who loves language — check it out if you're in the area. If you're not, you can see him when you're visiting the 7000 BC table at Bubonicon this year. Bram 6.18.2009
Thanks to all who helped out a while back with my Sleeper freakout when I was worried I wasn't going to be able to complete my TPB collection. Got 'em all and it worked out to still be a good deal. But turns out the four trades are just being reissued — with a few new extras; my consolation there is that Chris at True Believers pulled a copy of the also-reissued Point Blank for me. Just read the other night, and (despite featuring Grifter), loved it, both story and art, and it helps explain/expand upon some of the stuff that later comes up in Sleeper.In an essay in the back Brubaker notes that it was to be just a standalone story, and Sleeper grew out of that. There's a bit more behind-the scenes at his interview at io9.

Still finalizing our travel arrangements, but we'll be representing 7000 BC at the first Cowtown Comix Fest at the LoDo Tattered Cover Bookstore in Denver on Saturday, June 27. We'll be joining John, Stan, Noah, and a whole bunch of other talented independent comics creators for this small press event. Bram 6.14.2009
A lazy, mostly unproductive day (hey, it was actually gray and raining here in Santa Fe), but I did spend a fair amount of time getting 7000 BC's upgraded Flickr stream going. Bram
