Silverwolf Comics was a comic book publishing company that got started at the proverbial right time and place. Founded by Kris Silver in the mid 1980’s and based in Sacramento California, Silverwolf was published out of a comic book shop (Alexander’s Comics) and rode the B&W collecting boom of the 1980’s. A few of the artists who got their start with Silverwolf include Brandon McKinney, Ron Lim, and Tim Vigil. Continue reading »

These are Yildiray inks over his own pencils, but on separate boards with the pencils printed out in blue lines. This issue features Raksashi, the nuclear woman from India! Continue reading »
A great piece by online comic ‘Variables’ artist Brock Beauchamp. Click on the picture to jump to his blog post on creating this!
New This week we have a commission from Ebay virtual corner artist Kurt Herston (ebay name ‘kurthetston‘). Moby decided to try getting something he has wanted for a while…Grips on the toilet.

Just a quick note about a great sale from a great company.
Right now you can get single issues of most titles directly from Penny Farthing Press starting at $0.69, and graphic novels at under $4 or $5, just an incredible deal. Moby has become a fan of PFPress by way of collecting original art from one of their series, Anne Steelyard.
Being something of a original comic art collector I was of course interested when I saw that there was a preview issue of Anne Steelyard with tryout page samples out there. However, the only copy I could find at the usual online stores was on Ebay for $15! Well, a quick search later and I found that PFPress had them in their own company store, and they were marked down, from a buck a piece to $0.25! What a deal, eh? But then as I kept browsing, I saw they had plenty more great books, and it was all on sale. Continue reading »
