Apparel, mugs and more!

I have recently been working on getting both a cafepress and a Zazzle store up and running. I am doing my best to insure that the same products do not appear in both stores. Both stores offer many different products (cafepress offers journals where as Zazzle does not, Zazzle offers neck ties, etc....) so this should not be a problem. To visit our cafepress store, go to: www.cafepress.com/darkslinger To visit our Zazzle store, go to: http://www.zazzle.com/darkslinger*

As part of the agreement, DriveThruComics will sell the entire catalog of Darkslinger Comics in a downloadable, .pdf format. DriveThruComics is a new eBook initiative by the people behind http://www.drivethrurpg.com/. They affectionately call it "the iTunes of Comics". DriveThru's first specialty eBook store, http://www.drivethrurpg.com/, thrives under the “iTunes” business model. They will be bringing the same reach and accessibility to the comic buyer. According to DriveThru, "Early trial offerings of comics in our eBook format have been very successful in generating readership and we have every confidence that DriveThruComics will offer comic readers the same benefits that DriveThruRPG has been offering roleplaying game fans for the last two years." They have already partnered with several comic publishers, including Marvel's the Dabel Brothers.

Darkslinger Sneak Peek

Here is a preliminary character design of Robert Van Helsing. This is one of many characters that will be featured in Darkslinger Comics upcoming comic series, The Chronicles Of Van Helsing. This is one of many sketches included in the second volume of the Darkslinger Comics Sketchbook, coming soon. Art by Rudy Vasquez.

Stumptown

Darkslinger Comics will be at the Stumptown Comics Fest (www.stumptowncomics.com). The show will be a 2-day event this year. Held on Friday, October 27th from 4pm-8pm and Saturday, October 28th from 10am-6pm. I will put up an update when our table number has been assigned.

Independents Day!

A new revolution has started. Check out http://independents-day.blogspot.com Jason Berek-Lewis has started a new movement to try and get indy comics into more people's hands. I for one think this is a great idea and fully support it. Although I read several Marvel/DC/Dark Horse titles every month (mostly X-MEN I admit-although I do get just about everything else in trade), I do try to buy at least one smaller press title every time I go in a shop. I will post some reviews on these titles in the next few days. Have picked up many great titles as of late, including Super Real #2, Atomika #1-6 and a few lesser known titles. Will be updating more in the next few days.

More shops...

Over this past weekend I got the chance to visit a few more shops. Check out www.darkslinger.com/shops for a up to date list on shops where you can find Darkslinger Comics titles. I have recently sent copies of our books to www.independentpropaganda.com, I will update on when the books become available through them. Darkslinger Comics will be attending the Eugene Comics convention on May 21st. Be sure to stop by and say hi. We may be at the Olympia Comics Festival as well, just need to make sure which day it is first (website has two different days depending on which page you visit).

Sketchbook

Darkslinger Comics Sketchbook volume 1 is now out. The first sketchbook features character designs, unused pages and raw pages from Ghost Assassin and The Pauper. Featuring work by Charles Carvalho,
