Making comics means I get to meet other people who make comics (the main reason I go to comic shows), and once in a while, this means I get to do something fun.
Case in point, I have a blurb on the back of issue #6 of Woodstalk: 3 Days of Peace, Music, and Zombies by comic pal Bruce Worden.
I’m such a wordsmith.
That’s me in the middle (hooray, tilt shift filters), proudly saying: “Through his art and writing, Worden finally found a way to make the 1960s interesting.”
The book is about zombies vs. hippies, so some humor was appreciated with my blurb, if not expected. Bruce put out the call for blurbs on Facebook and I quickly offered to help (we met at Appleseed last year).
I honestly forgot about my blurb, until this weekend at the MSU Comics Forum. Bruce happened to by my table neighbor, and while looking over his other books, I picked up the latest issue and saw my blurb on the back.
“That’s me!” I said.
As a thank you, I got a free copy of Woodstalk #6. You can read Woodstalk on Issuu and the first five issues are available on Amazon (I also suggest checking out Goodnight Keith Moon).
Speaking of this year’s MSU Comics Forum, I should have my recap up tomorrow.
