SUMMER 09
You have probably heard the news- Hwan and I will be launching our new webcomic, K.G.B. in September! The preview site is up, so you should go check it out. I've got a lot going on in the meantime, including a bunch of short stories and illustration projects. At San Diego Comic Con this July, I am sharing a booth with Brian Wood, Jill Thompson and Cliff Chiang, which will be a lot of fun. There is also an announcement for a new book I'll be drawing, so yeah, exciting. I'll be teaching again this fall at SVA, however I'm taking a few months to visit Brazil, Thailand and Japan. It's like I'm on world tour or something! OH, also, the collected hardcover PIXU is out this summer from Dark Horse! Woo!

PIXU: The Mark of Eviil
By Gabriel Bá, Becky Cloonan, Fábio Moon, and Vasilis Lolos
Dark Horse (2009), B&W, 128 pages, HC 6" x 9", $17.95
This gripping tale of urban horror follows the lives of five lonely tenants - strangers - whose lives become intertwined when they discover a dark mark scrawled on the walls of their building. The horror sprouts quite innocently from a small seed and finds life as something otherworldly, damaged, full of love, hate, fear, and power. As the walls come alive, everyone is slowly driven mad -- defenseless against the evil in the building, stripped of free will, leaving only confusion, chaos, and eventual death.
Originally self-published as a two-volume book, this groundbreaking work receives a deluxe presentation in a hardcover edition with a sketchbook section.
The story telling here is beautiful, creating a real sense of dread and supernatural menace. Smart, subtle and genuinely disturbing. -Mike Mignola, creator of Hellboy
Pixu is a four-way collaborative Horror comic, and it works. The level at which Pixu crept under my skin was unexpected. -Alex Carr, Omnivoracious

When his ship is attacked by pirates, Archer is left floating adrift in a violent sea. But the young urchin is nothing if not resilient. He soon finds himself sailing with the infamous Cannonball Joe aboard "La Revancha," the fastest ship on the East Coast, in search of a legendary cache of hidden treasures. Their dangerous quest will lead directly to a showdown with the "Hoboken," one of the most feared pirate vessels ever to sail the Jersey shores, and its reckless captain, Lee. But there are far worse things than pirates that call these waters home...

Becky Cloonan's East Coast Rising takes a decidedly urban approach to the pirate life with a mixture of punk rock, street gangs and a half-submerged wasteland once known as New York... this graphic novel marks the full-length debut of Eisner-nominated artist Cloonan. For longtime fans, it's a book they've heard about for years; for the newcomer, it's an ideal opportunity to discover a cartoonist praised by Entertainment Weekly and the Village Voice as a talent to watch. -Publishers Weekly
How can one of the most exciting and unconventional comic artists on the scene turning her hand to a work marketed as OEL in a high spirited adventure not be a real treat? ...In a work like East Coast Rising brings together the energy of pop energy of comics with a modern and informed look. Like a painting with evident brush strokes, in Cloonan's work the ink lines visual convey the energy of creation in the bold style. -Ain't It Cool News

I've drawn about 130 pages of this volume, but Tokyopop isn't going to print it, so I am biding my time until this book starts moving again. Maybe one day it will see the light of day!

Spiritual and grungy, a wholly original piece of work... It takes religion, a subject usually approached in pop culture with either bloodless piety or tiresome blasphemy, and gives the matter some hard, honest thought. -Entertainment Weekly
