Congrats to Dave Elsey and Rick Baker - Oscar winners 2011 for The Wolfman!

Oscar Nomination for Dave Elsey & Rick Baker

Dave,-Rick-&-the-Wolfman.jpg

A huge congrats to Dave Elsey and Rick Baker. They have been nominated for another Oscar, this time for their work on The Wolfman.

Dave is the co-creator, storyline artist and cover artist on The Dark Detective and a great bloke to boot. He was previously nominated for his work on Star Wars: Episode III but we are hoping he will bring home the booty this time.

Rick is the model for our rendition of Professor Moriarty and a true gentleman. He has won more Oscars than I can list but I am sure he wouldn't mind one more.

Finally! A use for Google Maps

I know - finally someone has found a way to put Google Maps to good use.

Check out this incredibly cool mapping of all the events in Kirkmans's The Walking Dead, one of the best comics (and now TV shows) out there.

Black House favourites Chris Sequeira (writer of The Dark Detective) and Jason Paulos (EEEK! and After the World) will be making a special appearance at Kings Comics Sydney on Saturday 30th October.

Celebrating the launch of Jason's EEEK! US trade collection from Asylum Press and Chris's new story in Marvel's X-MEN: CURSE OF THE MUTANTS – X-MEN VS. VAMPIRES, the guys will be singing copies of The Dark Detective and the Australian EEEK! as well.

See below - the inimitable Kings press release can't be beat!

EEEK! IT’S ELEMENTARY MY DEAR KINGSTERS – With Halloween and the new ‘Walking Dead’ television series just around the corner, the scares and spooks are well on their way, and two of Australia’s premier fright-mongers will be visiting our store with their wares and scares!

On Saturday the 30th of October, KINGS COMICS will be hosting the ever-decaying JASON PAULOS and the imminently gory CHRIS SEQUERIA between 12pm and 2pm, and they’ll be ghoulishly signing their very own books and comics for anyone who drops by and says hi!
