Comic Geek Speak Interviews Me
Comic Geek Speak has an interview with me up. I talk about the Harvey's, Elk's Run, Postcards, and whatever else I talk about. This was done last week while I was incredibly fucking sick, so, apologies.

Baltimore Comic-Con
Make sure to come by and see Jason and I this weekend at the Baltimore Comic-Con. We're somewhere in Artist Alley, and will need all of your fingers crossed for the Harvey Awards.See you in Baltimore!
I’m an Absentee
Sorry for not being around. Past few weeks have been incredibly busy. Nothing really worthy of announcing yet, but, y'know, everything in due time. I've been banging through a few WFH pitches, that would be incredibly cool to see come to light, but we'll see, I guess. More excitingly, I've been banging through the first draft of Tumor, and Noel's doing some sample art from the WIP script we have. I think we've found a worthy successor to Elk's Run. It's some seriously fucked up shit and I think y'all will enjoy it. I'm trying my best to keep it under my hat for now, aside from that sample art we put up next week, in hopes of having our publishing plans squared up before we spill any beans (or tumor addled brains.)
I spent the day with my new lady love at her awesome job at the Los Angeles Public Library, working on scripts and generally being away from telephones and tv's. It's nice to just get some work done, and be able to look up and see someone I really and truly love just a few feet away.
Also, i got a terrible haircut. That's all the shit thats fit to print.
Western Tales of Terror on Bookgasm
Bookgasm has a great review of the entire five issue run of Western Tales of Terror. I somehow missed it when it came out (probably because the book had already been dead and buried for about a year when it ran), but, it's greatly appreciated. Y'know... I'm actually incredibly proud of those five issues. I think they go toe to toe with just about any horror comic on the market today or yesterday. And they're still for sale over at the Hoarse and Buggy store.
Go, buy them, enjoy.

I keep meaning to take pictures but I'm forgetful. Have some pictures from tonight's Random House Panel up by morning, in theory. Things are well, if you're reading this, and at the con, don't forget my panel tonight at 6pm. Cheers.
For Your Consideration…

We've kept fighting through self-publishing and Speakeasy and that weird unpublished limbo we spent several months in. But we never gave up, and we owe that to you guys. And it's worked – Elk's Run has tallied seven Harvey Nominations and is being collected by Random House.
But here comes July 28th, the deadline for Harvey final ballots – and we come to you all once again, hat in hand. Your votes count and can help make the difference for us.
You can download your ballot here: http://harveyawards.org/, the information for submissions is contained therein. We'd also like to recommend the excellent work of all of our supporters who are also nominated, including Brian Michael Bendis, Brian K. Vaughan, and A. David Lewis. It's an honor to be nominated alongside you guys.
See you in San Diego,
j.
Yeesh
What a weekend. I wrote for around 30 hours this weekend. Mostly stuff nobody'll ever see which is... strange. But, I'm definitely back in the zone, and am cranking stuff out at an alarming rate. The week before Comic-Con is always highly productive, if only to make up for the weeks afterwards where I'm too dead to do anything but sleep. And I recorded two songs somehow during all of that. And saw Pirates of the Caribbean. Jebus. I need a vacation.
I had this strange dream about me and a few friends hanging out outside an abandoned building and being chased by a slasher villain who's weapon of choice was something akin to the Flying Guillotine mixed with a giant fucking bear trap. I'm still unclear on what it meant, but I'm happy to take Freudian/Jungian analysis.

The Punks Site Got Hacked Apparently, the Turkish Islamic Seperatist Movement understands the importance and scope of Punks the Comic. Soon, we hope to announce a publisher who agrees with them.
About Punks.
Not about the seperatist stuff.

Publisher’s Weekly on Elk’s Run
Villard Grabs Elk's Run; More Comics Coming - 6/13/2006 - Publishers Weekly
Random House has the graphic novel bug again and Del Rey Manga's Dallas Middaugh has a hand in it. Villard, a Random House general publishing imprint, will publish a complete edition of Joshua Hale Fialkov and Noel Tuazon's much praised suspense comic Elk's Run in 2007. The book was acquired by Middaugh and comes on the heels of Del Rey's plans to publish a non-manga graphic novel by bestselling Del Rey fantasy author Terry Brooks. Expect to see more graphic literature published out of Villard in the coming year, including moving Harvey Pekar's next book from Ballantine to Villard according to Del Rey, v-p and deputy publisher, Scott Shannon.

Blog@Newsarama » Heroes & Villains
Hero: Random House’s Villard division for picking up Elk’s Run and publishing it as a complete graphic novel. It’s about time someone with the right resources threw some support behind this baby.
As does my buddy Dan Taylor for the return of Hero Happy Hour. It's strange for Dan, James Patrick (of Death Comes to Dillinger),Jason Rodriguez, and I to all have success in the same week long period, cause we all started out, were criminally ignored, and figured we'd be the Four Musketeers of "Nobody Read's Our Comics"-dom forever.
The times they are a changin'.
