The NYCC Runs February 6th, 7th & 8th, 2009! "Pigeons From Hell" Is A New TPB Release Created By Joe R Ransdale, Nathan Fox & Dave Stewart From Dark Horse! Check The Dark Horse Booth At The NYCC For Nathan's Signing Hours! Currently his projected signing hours would be: Friday 2:00 - 3:00 and Sunday 12:00 - 1:00 ...but Please Double Check at the Dark Horse Booth #823 for verified hours, as con schedules are subject to change! The TPB,(Trade Paper Back), collects issues One thru Four of the Dark Horse Comic Book Series of the same name, plus it has xtras not printed during the series original run. For those of you that didn't read the comic book series, here is the press release from Dark Horse about the compilation in the TPB: "Master horror storyteller Joe R. Lansdale throws his scathing wit and wild, otherworldly creations into the mix as he brings Robert E. Howard's classic tale of dark revenge to the present . . . and into the unwilling lives of the Blassenville mansion heirs, twin sisters Claire and Janet. When Griswell fled the Blassenville estate those many years ago, he couldn't have imagined the grotesque horrors that would eclipse the ones he saw then-but they're here, thanks to fiction legend Joe R. Lansdale, dazzling new comic-book artist Nathan Fox (DMZ), and multiple Eisner Award-winning color artist Dave Stewart (Conan, The Umbrella Academy). This fresh take on the classic Pigeons from Hell story delves deeper into the dark mansion's past while also digging up some fresh, imaginative demons, as Claire and Janet unknowingly bring their friends into an unearthly death trap!" Details for the TPB are as follows: Please check the Dark Horse booth #823 at the Con for Nathan's signing of this TPB. Long time blog readers of ours will know that Michael is a fan of Robert E Howard, who most of you know as the creator of Conan The Barbarian. We blogged about a great movie released in 1996 on Howard's life, starring Renee Zellweger and Vincent D'Onofrio as Robert. Click here to view that movie review blog as it was missed by many, as it was released at the same as 'The Titanic' film in 1996! When Nathan is not at the Dark Horse booth signing, you should be able to find him at the Cadence Comic Art booth #2266, where he will be selling his art, books, and taking commissions from you! Nathan Fox is one of several exhibitors / stars / creators that will be at this upcoming con.
