Lynch
& Crosland Video Interviews @ COMICS ON COMICS
During the Pledge Party at Meltdown in LA, the cool kids
at Comics On Comics sat down with "Everybody's DEAD"
creators Brian Lynch and Dave Crosland. The result was an out-of-control
video interview that spanned everything from talk on their new
project at IDW, to Stan Lee turning into a cloud of smoke and
sneaking into your bedroom at night. All that and more have been
captured in three videos on the Comics
On Comics website. Click that link and scroll down to their
Creator Interviews for April 17, 19, and 21, for all the mild-mannered
hilarity.

Crosland
Featured Artist in YOUR MUSIC MAGAZINE
Our good son, Dave Crosland, is the featured artist interview
in the May issue (vol 59) of Your Music Magazine, a 68-page, California
based music and entertainment monthly. Friend of Hiredmeat, Itay
(of The Serendipity Project), hooked the interview up with some
saucy questions, and an equally saucy layout. It's a nice peek
behind the paint-smeared curtain, as he and Dave discuss "Everybody's
DEAD," the comics industry, and (of course) music.
The
digest-sized mag hits news stands and drop spots all over Cali
on Friday, May 9th. To find out where it's available in your area,
hit up yourmusicmagazine.com.

Cartoon Art Museum Thanks
I just wanted to take a moment to thank all the wonderful kids
who helped make my recent presentation at The Cartoon Art Museum
such a success. My heartfelt gratitude goes out to Kelly, Brett,
Stephan, Ronak, Kathy, Anthony, Sujit, Patrick, Summerlea and
the Museum staff, and all the other people who came out and let
me share a bit of my creative self with them. Thanks for the great
questions and for taking such a keen interest in my work. The
show wouldn't have been the same without you. Rather, it would
have been empty, and a lot quieter.

IDW Series For 2008 -- EVERYBODY'S DEAD
Dave Crosland is currently plowing through pages on a new IDW
Miniseries slated for early 2008, called EVERYBODY'S DEAD. Featuring
a crew of misfits who are "...The Last People On Earth
Who Should Be The Last People On Earth," this book is
a sequential mash-up with a twist. Imagine a cocktail of Animal
House, Revenge of the Nerds, and Night of the Comet. There ya
go....
Written by Brian
Lynch (Angel: After The Fall), illustrated by Dave Crosland
(Scarface: Scarred for Life), and colored by the industrious Len
O'Grady, this book has everything you could want from a college-kids-versus-monsters
story, without sacrificing an ounce of its uniqueness.
Keep an eye on our site for updates and sneak peeks at the book.
For now, you can enjoy the full cover by clicking the thumbnail
to the left. You can also befriend and buy drinks for the series
on Myspace.

IDW'S
SCARFACE:SCARRED FOR LIFE
9-PAGE PREVIEW AT NEWSARAMA
Our own Dave Crosland has been feverishly working on the pencils
and inks of IDW's soon-to-be cult hit, SCARFACE: SCARRED FOR LIFE.
Notorious drug giant, Tony Montana, is back and he's out for it
all -- the money, the power, the women, and the revenge!
This 5-issue miniseries is written in true gangster prose by John
Layman (Marvel Zombies, Puffed) and colored in lush 80's hypertones
by Len O'Grady (Judge Dredd, Transformers). And you can get a
tiny taste of the first issue with Newsarama's
9-page preview. To quote an online fan, "Does anyone
else hear the song, "Push it to the Limit" when reading
this preview?"
