Continuing my 'Spotlight On...' Series, is this entry on Elisa Féliz, who is now the owner of her own company book company in the Dominican Republic!  

As stated in past blogs, even though the 'comic book' is an 'American' invention, the reach of comic books and graphic novels today is world wide. 

Which is truly evidenced by the many creators that come from all over the world to the yearly Comic Con International: San Diego that I've also blogged about here.

A recent entry on my Facebook Home Page Wall was a post by Elisa who declared that she was now the owner of her comic book company in the Dominican Republic!  Well, I couldn't let that post run off the page without making a comment!  Elisa was kind enough to send me her bio and a head shot with the cover of her upcoming project, 'Alice In Nightmareland'!

Details as follows:

"My name is Elisa Féliz. I'm 21 years old. I'm a comic artist, web developer and designer. I was born in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. My career started when i began participating in national and international art contests when i was 6 years old, and i began doing commissioned work. I published my first comic strip in 1998.

I started doing web design and programming in 2003, and got engaged in a project for a dominican social network called "A Tu Nivel" in 2005. Not long before i worked as a css layout designer for some Ufo Film websites.

I started drawing comic books as a self-trained artist in 2007 and have been working as a penciller and a colorist. I recently worked as one of the artists for the Villikon Chronicles Proclivity series by Silent Nemesis Workshop, created by Bryan Kinnaird. The series precede the film "Villikon Chronicles: Genesis of Evil". I also did some digital illustrations for the film.

Some other comics i've worked on are "Dallas" (Based on the popular tv series), "Intrepid", "Knight Reavers" and "RX Tales". I'm the creator of "Codename: X-girl", "Alice in Nightmareland" and co-creator of "Intrepid".

In 2007 i launched my own clothing brand called Elliz Clothing (www.ellizclothing.com).

In 2008 i moved to NJ to attend the Joe Kubert School of cartoon and graphic art, but i continued my career as a comic artist and web developer while i was attending school.

In 2009 i registered my own comic book company called: "XSIDE Comics" (www.xsidecomics.com). We are planning to publish "Codename: X-girl" and a few other comics in United States and Dominican Republic. XSIDE Comics is the first comics company in Dominican Republic and our goal is to start the comic book business in the country. Our comic "Codename: X-girl" is the first dominican comic ever registered.

My personal site: www.elisafeliz.com."    

 

So as you can see from the above, Elisa is one busy creator! If you are interested in becoming one of her Facebook Friends, you should send her a Friends Request right away.  She is almost maxxed out at the 5,000 friends limit!  She has also started a Fan Page on Facebook, which doesn't have a limit for the number of fans:  I love Elisa Féliz's Artwork  is the name of that Fan Page should you see this post several months from the date this is blogged! 

Please Note:  The 'Spotlight On...' series is for featuring creators that I come across either at comic cons or are Facebook Friends.  This series is Not a 'review' of any of their works.  Reviews are only blogged after reading a full copy of any creator's work, and is a 'review' of that one work only.  This 'Spotlight On...' series is to present to You, the blog reader, creators that have piqued my interest enough to take the time to generate a blog entry about them.  You too could be 'Spotlighted' here.  Just message me via Facebook or email me for consideration! 

Also, unless we are on site all day and night during a three day or longer comic con... we normally blog daily on comic book creators, comic book reviews,  comic book conventions, and pop culture news and events!  

Plus for purchases of items that our blog posts are normally based on; please check out our listings of comics, graphic novels, Comic Con exclusives and more pop culture items for sale in our own online store

Above Photo: The Front Cover to the DARK TRINITY Project.   To the Left:  James Pinard @ the 2009 SDCC.

I met several creators at this year's San Diego Comic Con, or as they call it now:  Comic Con International: San Diego...  

James Pinard was one of them, whom I had 'met' only via Facebook and the telephone prior to meeting him at the SDCC.  Due to time schedules and the fact that two programs Tina and I were interested in were overlapping; it turned out that Tina and James were going to the same comics marketing program.  

So after introducing James to Tina, I read further on what James was working on.  I thought I would share that info with my blog readers today. First is the biography on James, and then the 'pitch' on one of his two current projects.  If you are an illustrator reading this blog post, you might want to check out the 'Dark Trinity' project pitch that James is in need of an illustrator to collaborate with!  

JAMES PINARD

(Screenplays, Comic book/Graphic novel writer)
Currently working on Comic book scripts for “Dark Trinity,” and “Death by Devine.”

Biography:

I am a writer whose love for movies has lead me into the world of screenplay writing which I have been doing for many years now. In addition to writing screenplays, I have also written some poetry and short stories. I also maintain two websites, one for my comic and one for my other works. Sometime back I renewed my interest and passion for comic books and graphic novels. I will also be working on a short movie script based on one of my comics in the near future.

My current focus is on creating a series of comic books based on one of my screenplays called “DARK TRINITY.” The screenplay is registered with the WGA and the comic with the copyright office. I am also working on the comic script for a second story in the series set in the Forbidden City called “DEATH BY DIVINE.” 

I am currently seeking an artist who I can collaborate with on either one of these comics. I would like this to be a true collaboration where we each have input on the other’s work.


Currently resides in: Orlando, FL.

See Dark Trinity Comic on FACEBOOK

For those of you that may be interested in collaborating with James on either of his two projects, here is more on Dark Trinity, which I have seen a little more of:

“Dark Trinity” is a graphic novel that entertains you as an action packed ultra-violent thriller set in our world of the future. The Story will draw you in and make you think, because it could be true…

Set in the “Forbidden City,” an ultra-violent futuristic city, where Demons hide in human form by day and change into their true demonic form at night to hunt humans from the shadows.

As a boy, Micheal our hero, is an angel in human form. He watched as Demons who were sent to kill him, murdered his parents. He didn’t know that he was sent to defend the world from Demons who were poised to plunge the world into a dark and dangerous place. After his parent’s death Father Aragon, Michael’s protector, knew of Michael’s special abilities and sent him out of the city and into hiding where he would be safe and could develop his “gifts.” He knew Michael’s true destiny.

Michael returns years later as a man to find Sara, the childhood friend he left behind, who is also an Angel, sent to help him on a journey of discovery. A journey that will ultimately lead him to find others of his kind and the secret to his powers, all the while being hunted by Demons, who know he has returned.

Luther, his adversary and leader of the “Blade Heads,” the gang of Demons that hold the city in fear, will stop at nothing to kill Michael before he can uncover the truth. A great secret that will reveal the importance of the human race, who are the real key to stopping Luther. This secret will ultimately change the world and our reality as we know it forever…

Paul Linsley's LOST Characters Illustrations

Paul Linsley's

 LOST TV Show Characters Illustrations @ 2009 SDCC!

Click Here to see our NEWLY LISTED Comics, Graphic Novels, Toys, Fanzines and Prozines!

Above:  Jorge Garcia holding a 'Hurley' print @ Paul's SDCCI booth, Paul & Jess!  

To the Left:  Paul Linsley signing my copy of the Hurley Print @ the LAST LOST PANEL at the 2009 San Diego Comic Con International!

 

I had several hard choices to make this year on which panels  / programs to see at the 2009 Comic Con International: San Diego because several panels / programs overlapped each other schedule-wise...  

Including two panels I really wanted to see on Saturday.  It was going to be either the CHUCK panel or the Last LOST panel!  Well, my wife Tina really worked on me to attend the Last LOST panel, because... well, you know...it was THE Last LOST panel at Comic Con!  

And besides... hadn't we been there for the FIRST LOST Panel and each subsequent year's LOST panel?!  OK, OK... so we saw the main star of CHUCK at another panel the day before, and I somehow ended up in line with thousands of other LOST fans and those other crazies that were in line way too early Saturday morning for programs that didn't even start until later!  Actually much later, including those that were in line before and after us for the IRON MAN 2 Film panel that didn't even start until 4PM on Saturday!  Now THAT is fanatical folks!

Anyways, Tina's already blogged about the LOST  Trivia Game that was conducted by Jo Garfein a.k.a. JoOpinionated (one of the top LOST bloggers out there - click here for that post) that happened while we were in line. 

Now I want to blog about an artist who we met as he went through the line showing his characters prints that were for sale.  And man did those look good!  Tina and I weren't prepared to see such fine illustrations being hawked while standing in line out there that early in the morning!

And we weren't the only ones suprised!  Paul and his partner Jess were just standing there for quite a while as more and more LOST fans came up to find him as they heard about these great prints being sold by the illustrator himself!

By the time Tina and I made it to his impromptu sales area, he was already out of several character prints!  We however did snag on of Hurley, which is a fantastic likeness in Paul's unique style of illustration.  To see what I mean take another closer look at the top right photo of this blog, where Jorge (Hurley) Garcia is holding one of those prints himself!  Jorge had stopped in during the Con at Paul's booth where he signed the one he is holding!

Anyways, Tina and I like to share the finds that we come across, whether they are at conventions like this one or online.

So Since You probably didn't make it to the 2009 SDCCI, or Even if you did, probably weren't in the right place at the right time to pick up one of these... I wanted to plug Paul's web site here today!

You can see Paul's LOST TV Show characters prints, and a LOT more at his web site:

http://www.paullinsley.com/ 

No, we are Not his agents, LOL, so you'll have to go there and see what is available now, and what it costs to ship to your city or country!

Female Force: Princess Diana From Bluewater Comics

Female Force:

Princess Diana

From

 Bluewater Comics!

 

 

Continuing my blogs on comics that I have recently received for review and that I want to blog about here...  is another one from Bluewater Comics!   This company seems to be having many new series coming out, of which several are of interest to me as a reader!

This title is a series of one shot publications on famous females who have made a difference in many peoples' lives during the years, or who are about to do so.

Princess Diana was one who definitely did.  Yes, my ex-wife and I were two of those crazy Americans that watched Lady Diana and Prince Charles get married all those many years ago, even with the 8 hours of time zone difference at the time!

To me, Lady Diana was a fresh face to the Royal Family.  And not saying that in a mean way, as when I was an avid stamp collector, Queen Elizabeth stamps from the UK were some of most prized stamps in my collection.

It's just that Lady Diana was more than a Princess. She was a Public Figure that the UK shared with the world.  Americans basically loved her, no matter what happened in her life.  She was a philanthropist who knew when to stop long enough to also be a parent to her two boys.

So yes, even though she first hit the international scene in the early 1980's with a storybook wedding, and ended up later with a tabloid breakup; she was admirable icon to not only England, but the world itself.

So when I first saw this comic book, with a cover by Vinnie Tartamella, it went near the top of my 'to read list'. 

This comic book when opened and read, is not some tabloid sensationalism about Princess Diana, but instead a well written and illustrated story.

Chris Arrant portrayed her in the story as well as I've seen in text magazines and books.  Andrew Yerrakadu's illustrations were 'royal' in catching Princess Diana in her looks. You knew when looking at the pictures that this is what Diana looked like during the years the comic covers. Kirsty Swan as the colorist chose the right colors to convey the storyline... it was Not 'Yellow Journalism' with gaudy colors.  Kirsty's coloring blended well with the illustrations.  Jaymes Reed's lettering was a little different for me at first, (the style is considered 'newspapery'),  but the boxes and rectangles that the narrator's words were placed in fit well after I was a few pages into the storyline.

So in summary, when first looking at this publication with the great cover, I was already predisposed to either like it or hate because I enjoyed the subject matter.  What this comic book team did was a very good job in portraying Princess Diana, without any of the tabloid or sensationalism that unfortunately was too much of her public life near the end of her life.  This was a good read and also something to bag and board and save to re-read in the future.

This issue's cover price was $3.99, well worth the price for this stand alone issue #1 in the series of Female Force.  

For more info on the Female Force series with previous and upcoming issues, please see the Bluewater Comics web site at:  http://www.Bluewaterprod.com

Comic Con International San Diego Souvenir Program Book Reviewed!

The Comic Con International: San Diego 2009 Souvenir Program Book Reviewed!

Click Here to see our NEWLY LISTED Comics, Graphic Novels, Toys, Fanzines and Prozines!

Above: Michael pointing out the vastness of all 3 levels at the San Diego Convention Center!   To the Left:  Front Cover of the 2009 Souvenir Program Book!

 

I was really looking forward to this year's San Diego Comic Con, or as they call it now:  Comic Con International: San Diego...  

Well whatever You want to call it by, it's still the SDCC to me and seem to be used that way in most blogs, wall posts and discussion threads that I see online!  

However, what I wanted to do with this post today is to let those of You that didn't attend this year's Con to hear about what was in the Souvenir Book for this year.  Oh, and it's NOT the special 40th Anniversary Book that I blogged about earlier before the con happened.  (Click here for that post.)

The above pictured publication is the regular sized Souvenir Book that is distributed each year at Registration, along with an events guide and possibly other goodies that are enclosed in your welcome bag.

What made this year's souvenir program book edition so special, is that it printed several pages in a special section about the earlier 39 con years. Year by year from the very first ones including Con #0!  So for those of You that have made it to the SDCC in earlier years, whether once or twice or multiple times, this would be a great memorial issue for you to have in your possession!

I myself have not attended every year, although I started with Con #1, and then started selling as a dealer at Con #3 at the El Cortez Hotel.  So the in depth account of each year's con was either a nostaligic look back for me, or looking at what I had missed those years I didn't attend...

The cover itself showed some familar faces to me.  First were the Comic-Con Toucan and Expo Boy, (created by Rick Geary), atop the El Cortez Hotel.  And then they were standing under the simple yet poignant Comic-Con 40 lettering.

Inside were the credits, and then the table of contents.

The 2009 Special Guests were introduced first, very artfully and tastefully displayed.

Then the Special Section starting on page 39.  Comic Con @40.  Worth the price of admission alone IMHO!

Following were the Special Anniversaries of several features, which is a standard feature in this souvenir book's history.  Since we as readers can't pick out in advance which features deserve to be featured in the souvenir book, it's always a wonder to me why certain features do get chosen, and sometimes a surprise that others don't.  But that is the choice of the publishing group of the book, and I for one am usually more than pleased with the overall book each year.

The first feature shown was the 50th Anniversary of Green Lantern, starting on page 124.  Good Choice there!  And a well written featurette along with several fan illustrations chosen to be run after the text article.

The second feature was the 50th Anniversary of Rocky and Bullwinkle, another good choice!  A well written and researched featurette.  Plus the fan illos afterwards were well drawn.

Third feature was on the 25th Anniversary of TMNTs, and Yeah that would be appropriate for this souvenir book!  I remember my kids in front of the TV set watching that series when it transformed from comics to cartoon show.  Heck, I even joined them to see what all the fuss was about!

The fourth feature chosen to be celebrated was the 25th Anniversary of Usagi Yojimbo. That is sure to make fans of that feature happy.

Then the listings of Awards that have been presented by the Comic-Con during its' many years.  I found this to be extremely interesting, as it covered the 2009 Will Eisner Comic Industry Award Nominees, the 2008 Will Eisner comic Industry Award Winners, Will Eisner Hall of Fame past inductees, The Will Eisner Spirit of Comics Retailer Award winners, The Bob Clampett Humanitarian Award winners, Bill Finger Excellence In Comic Book Writing Award winners, the Russ Manning Most Promising Newcomer Award winners, and the Comic-Con Award winners, the Inkpot Award winners.... whew, that's a LOT of awards that have been presented at this Con!  Definitely worth reading if You haven't seen these award winners lists before!

Finally, there was the 'In Memoriam' feature... Which is always a rememberance past of those that have passed since the last Con souvenir book was published.  Sometimes I missed seeing the mentions of several persons that are comics or pop culture related passing during the previous year.  I am also sometimes saddened, and then again recharged into mentioning in my Blog about works by those that have passed on.  Too many were taken from us this past year, including Uncle Forry, Frank Springer, and more...     

For me, this 2009 Souvenir Program Book is one of the best in recent years.  A Souvenir Book to be proud of by all that were involved in producing it!  My Thanks to all that were part of that team!

For those of You that didn't attend the Con... If you are interested in obtaining a copy of this 2009 Souvenir Program Book, and can't obtain it elsewhere, you are welcome to try our online eBay Store at:

CONVENTION PHOTOS:  I have been publishing photos of costumed attendees for a while now, that were taken at the 2009 San Diego Comic Con International.  However the photo below is not of an attendees, but rather a major 'prop' if you will, of an upcoming movie.  A 'prop' that has been re-imagined, that of the Green Hornet's car... 'The Black Beauty'!  If only the upcoming move is to be as neatly re-imagined!  Only time will tell... in the meantime I can only hope!
