AHOY Comics Returns to Baltimore, Home of Edgar Allan Poe, and Baltimore Comic Con

10/10/2019

Publisher of EDGAR ALLAN POE’S SNIFTER OF TERROR Refuses To Apologize For Salacious Satire of the Legendary Gothic Writer

(October 10, 2019) AHOY Comics ― the publisher of EDGAR ALLAN POE’S SNIFTER OF TERROR ― is returning to Baltimore, home of the legendary writer Edgar Allan Poe, to exhibit at Baltimore Comic Con. Just don’t expect an apology for the acclaimed anthology comic book series EDGAR ALLAN POE’S SNIFTER OF TERROR, which has been called a cross between Drunk History and Tales from the Crypt, with Poe in the role as the series’ drunken host.

“Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness,” said AHOY Comics’ Editor-in-Chief Tom Peyer. “I don’t remember if I read that quote as a young boy in the pages of Mad Magazine or the writings of Oscar Wilde, but it’s been a personal motto ever since. And EDGAR ALLAN POE’S SNIFTER OF TERROR is chock full of drunken flattery.”

Fans who want to meet the AHOY Comics founders “in the inevitably disappointing flesh” can attend their panel and visit the AHOY Comics booth (#2105). The AHOY Comics Baltimore Comic Con will be held Saturday, October 19th from 1:30 - 2:30 PM ET in Room 345-346:

AHOY Comics: Expect More, Celebrate the one year anniversary of AHOY Comics with artists Jamal Igle, Russell Braun, and Chris Giarrusso and writer Stuart Moore, AHOY Comics Editor-in-Chief Tom Peyer and Publisher Hart Seely. Why did AHOY Comics decide to publish SECOND COMING, the controversial comic in which Jesus Christ resumes His holy mission? What’s so funny about Baltimore’s Edgar Allan Poe and his SNIFTER OF TERROR? Is there a place for funny comics in unfunny times? The answers will shock you! Maybe!

AHOY Comics is led by Publisher Hart Seely, an award-winning reporter whose humor and satire has appeared in The New York Times and on National Public Radio; editor-in-chief Tom Peyer, a veteran of DC Comics’ Vertigo imprint; Stuart Moore, who handles something called "Ops"; and Chief Creative Officer Frank Cammuso. Since its debut in September of 2018, AHOY Comics has pledged for readers to “expect more” from its line of comic book magazines and graphic novels with full length comic book stories, accompanied by “extras” including short prose fiction, the occasional recipes, and even a crossword puzzle.

“It’s a thrill to be back at Baltimore Comic Con to honor Poe’s legacy of fun and laughter, and to tease our next wave of comic book magazines,” said AHOY Comics Publisher Hart Seely. “AHOY isn’t afraid to tackle any subject, whether we’re lampoon the literati or publishing a comic book magazine like SECOND COMING in which Jesus Christ returns to Earth to learn from superheroes.”

The EDGAR ALLAN POE’S SNIFTER OF TERROR trade paperback collection, featuring all the comics from the original six issue series, is on sale in comic shops now and will be available at bookstores on Tuesday, October 15.

#NYCC: STRANGE FRUIT AND FAST ENOUGH CREATOR JOEL CHRISTIAN GILL ANNOUNCES NEXT BOOK WITH ONI PRESS

10/4/2019

‘Fights: One Boy’s Triumph Over Violence’ Is a Moving Coming-of-Age Graphic Novel Documenting the Creator’s Life As a Young Black Man

New York, NY—Oni Press is proud to announce the publication of the next book by Strange Fruit: Uncelebrated Narratives from Black History creator Joel Christian Gill, detailing his upbringing and relationship to the violence that surrounded it.

Fights: One Boy’s Triumph Over Violence is Joel Christian Gill’s visceral and deeply affecting memoir chronicling his youth and coming of age as a poor Black child in a chaotic southern landscape of rough city streets and foreboding backwoods during the crack cocaine boom of the 1980s.

“Oni is incredibly proud to include Fights: One Boy's Triumph Over Violence as a lead title in our 2020 slate” says senior editor Shawna Gore. “Joel tells his story with astonishing nuance and clarity--the story of the troubled and conflicted boy he once was, told by the brave and compassionate man he became. Fights is an important and imposing book, both in size and what it aspires to reach in its readers.”

Propelled into a world filled with uncertainty and desperation, young Joel is pushed toward using violence to solve his problems by everything and everyone around him. But fighting doesn't always yield the best results for a confused and sensitive kid who yearns for a better, more fulfilling life than the one he was born into.

This must-read memoir arrives in finer bookstores and comic shops in January 2020, and deserves a place on the bookshelves of every parent.

Praise for FIGHTS:

"Powerful, brave, and deeply felt. A crucial addition to the graphic memoir canon."--Ezra Clayton Daniels, author of Upgrade Soul

"FIGHTS is somehow brutally raw, funny as hell, deeply sensitive and insightful in each panel. His approach to both composition and subject matter are fresh and engaging. Joel has been making crucial, honest work for years-- and his breakout has arrived."--Nate Powell, illustrator of March

"In a windswept ocean of graphic memoirs, Joel Christian Gill's FIGHTS stands tall. FIGHTS is essential not only for the guts it took to tell this life tale, not only for the unflinching candor and clarity of this often harrowing account of hard-scrabble suffering and survival, but because Joel cuts through the meat, the muscle, the tendons, and bone to reach the marrow. Choices—the choices we make, the choices we refuse to make—and the inevitable consequences are what FIGHTS is really about. It's the memoir we, as a people, as a nation, as a planet, need right now."
- Stephen R. Bissette, author of Swamp Thing; Taboo

“In “Fights”, Gill willingly taps into his vulnerabilities, reflects on his formative experiences, and skillfully translates them into a harrowing, yet hopeful read.” --Whitney Taylor, author of Definitions of Indefinable Things

Joel Christian Gill’s FIGHTS is an engaging and deeply personal coming-of-age story that breaks new ground in graphic memoir. Through the eyes of his sympathetic young protagonist, Gill’s deceptively simply visual narrative explores issues of masculinity, race, friendship, violence, love and family, all with humor, honesty and a range of powerful emotions. This book makes an important contribution to the culture, and it’s a page-turner as well.--Dan Mazur, co-author of Comics: A Global History

“FIGHTS is a much-needed look into the oft times fractured window of a young black boy's life. You may expect youthful stories celebrating memories of innocence and wonder, but when Joel waxes nostalgic, he recalls inconceivable tales of emotional, mental, physical trauma and battle fatigue fit for a war veteran, not a little kid. Author Joel Christian Gill is a SURVIVOR of childhood, and his voice must be heard. A can't-miss memoir.”-- Jamar Nicholas, illustrator of Fist Stick Knife Gun and creator of LEON: Protector of the Playground

Simon Spurrier Announces Brand NewSeries ALIENATED at New York Comic ConBOOM! Studios Panel

10/4/2019

Discover a Brand New Original Series from the Acclaimed Writer of Coda in February 2020

New York, NY (October 4, 2019) – BOOM! Studios today announced at the New York Comic Con Discover Yours panel, a new original series ALIENATED. From acclaimed writer Simon Spurrier (John Constantine Hellblazer, Coda) and artist Chris Wildgoose (Batgirl, Batman: Nightwalker), comes a subversive coming-of-age story about about having all the power to change the world but the unready hands to truly wield it, available in February 2020.

Three teenagers, each an outcast in their own way, stumble upon an unearthly entity as it’s born. As they bond over this shared secret and the creature's incredible abilities, it becomes clear to the teenagers that their cute little pet is a predator in the making—and it’s in need of prey. Guided by the best intentions at first, the teens' decisions soon become corrupted by adolescent desires, small town jealousies, and internal rivalries, sending them into a catastrophic spiral of their own making.

Simon “Si” Spurrier is an Eisner-nominated writer of novels, television shows, and comics. He is known for his work on Marvel and DC Comics series, including X-Men, Star Wars, Suicide Squad, and the forthcoming relaunch of Hellblazer, while his creator-owned projects include BOOM! Studios hits such as Coda, The Spire, and Six-Gun Gorilla.

“I always wondered what would've happened if E.T. had been befriended by someone a little less... nice. Someone with issues. Someone with rage and uncertainty and insecurity and big ideas, waiting to be tested. A teenager, basically. Or better yet, three of them. Then again, I always wondered what would've happened if E.T. himself had been a bit more, y'know. Alien. As in: ineffably strange. And terrifying,” said writer Simon Spurrier. “ALIENATED answers both questions. It's my take on the classic coming-of-age high school tale, by which I mean it's got as much vicious toxicity about it as it has awkwardness and heart. Some kids find pirate treasure, some kids find a dead body on the train tracks; these kids find an nth-dimensional psychic entity which hungers for brainwaves. Mischief and murder ensues.”

Chris Wildgoose is a comic book and film concept artist known for his work on Batgirl: Rebirth, Batman: Nightwalker, Gotham Academy for DC Comics and the Porcelain series.

“This is a dream team project for me. I’ve been hoping I would have the chance to work with Simon Spurrier and Eric Harburn for years, and finally our paths have aligned. I am so looking forward to seeing what people think of ALIENATED,” said artist Chris Wildgoose. “We have some fresh approaches to tell the story of these three outcast teenagers who are pulled together by the unpredictable power of an alien force. I think it’s a story that will pull on your heartstrings and make you laugh, with a nice bit of cosmic horror thrown in for good measure—all wrapped in a high school drama. It's quite the mix!”

ALIENATED
is the newest release from BOOM! Studios’ eponymous imprint, home to critically acclaimed original series, including Once & Future by Kieron Gillen and Dan Mora; Something is Killing the Children by James Tynion IV and Werther Dell’Edera; Faithless by Brian Azzarello and Maria Llovet; Abbott by Saladin Ahmed and Sami Kivelä; Bury The Lede by Gaby Dunn and Claire Roe; Klaus by Grant Morrison and Dan Mora; and the upcoming Folklords by Matt Kindt and Matt Smith and The Red Mother by Jeremy Haun and Danny Luckert. The imprint also publishes popular licensed properties including Joss Whedon’s Firefly from Greg Pak and Dan McDaid; Buffy The Vampire Slayer from Jordie Bellaire and David López; Angel from Bryan Edward Hill and Gleb Melnikov; and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers from Ryan Parrott and Daniele Di Nicuolo.

“A new project with Si is always cause for celebration—doubly so when Chris is involved, after years of trying to work together,” said Eric Harburn, Senior Editor, BOOM! Studios. “This new series is a thrillingly dark story of first contact and the burden of responsibility wrapped around the timely, complicated question: will the kids be alright? It’s intense, emotional, and resonant in all the ways you’ve come to expect from these two visionary creators.”

Print copies of ALIENATED #1 will be available for sale February 2020 exclusively at local comic book shops (use comicshoplocator.com to find the nearest one) or at the BOOM! Studios webstore. Digital copies can be purchased from content providers, including comiXology, iBooks, Google Play, and Madefire.
