THORN Wins Best Archival Collection/Project – Strips!

THORN Wins Best Archival Collection/Project – Strips!

THORN: The Complete Proto-BONE College Strips 1982-1986, and Other Early Drawings won the Eisner for – Best Archival Collection/Project – Strips! 

From Jeff: “First and foremost. Thanks to my spouse and partner, Vijaya Iyer, who was with me from the beginning of this journey from THORN to BONE, the two of us were just kids trying to navigate the world of Comics. I’d also like to  thank the world of Comics for this award for a book our Cartoon Books staff not only insisted on producing, but worked very hard on. They saw the value in these old strips that I had, for some reason, been very embarrassed about. Thanks again to our hardworking coworkers Kathleen Glosan and Tom Gaadt, and to everyone here in this room.”

Shi: Senryaku Omnibus Kickstarter is LIVE!

Shi: Senryaku Omnibus Kickstarter is LIVE!

Dear Backer,
Our friends Billy and Deborah Tucci have just launched their latest Kickstarter, the Shi: Senryaku Omnibus! The Eisner-award nominated Shi: Senryaku features the Art of War’s Thirty-Six Stratagems gloriously interpreted by legendary comic artists detailing the life lessons of a young Ana Ishikawa (aka, Shi) as taught to her by her grandfather.
As you may be aware Jeff contributed to it (see below), alongside many comic book greats like Frank Frazetta, Jim Lee, Adam Hughes, Stan Sakai and George Perez. The 240-page HC will also feature both Jeff’s original b/w illustration and the final color. Here’s the link and we hope you’ll give it a look:http://kck.st/3MTXt89
