That’s right, there’s a new episode of the FREE “Urchin Stories” that take place in the world of Bandette. This one is illustrated by my pal, Lucy Bellwood!

Go! CLICK HERE! It’s FREE! You can read comics for free, because we have a robot on Mars. (that’s not really the reason you can read comics for free, but we DO have a robot on Mars.)

One day, if we can make Bandette an international institution, I think it would be great if we actually made the Chocobolik candy bars that Bandette is always eating.

The name of this candy bar, incidentally, is inspired by the “Diabolik” comics / movies, etc.

NO! The gorillas will NOT blow you up, not if you protect yourself with LITERATURE! And tomorrow, on the glorious day of January 8th, 2014… literature will KEEP YOU SAFE FROM THE GORILLAS!

Yes. And that’s because, after a long wait, it’s FINALLY time for Colleen Coover and I to present, the SIXTH episode of BANDETTE.

Ahhh, so pretty. But… what will be INSIDE that cover? Well, how about…

BAD GUYS!

MYSTERIES!

And… PRESTO!

But that’s not all for tomorrow, because Colleen and I have also teamed up on another adventure. ADVENTURE TIME, to be exact!

ADVENTURE TIME: FLIP SIDE is a 6 issue series co-written by me n’ Colleen, with art by our most excellent friend, Wook Jin Clark. Here’s a couple of preview pages.

I’m really proud of the Pancake Princesses and you should probably not live your life without this comic. You’ll be able to find it at all better comic stores, and, although this next part is not true at all… IT’S ALSO BEING SHOT TO MARS AS PART OF CARE PACKAGE TO THE MARS ROVER!

Bandette, of course, is available online. All the chapters can be found at ComiXology, and a hardcover collection of our Eisner Award winning series can be found at comic stores (PLEASE support them) or online HERE. Remember, if you don’t read literature… the gorillas win.

And, it’s Friday. All this week, I’ve been crafting a daily showcase of recently released works by yours truly. These are books that you could be reading for the holidays, or bestowing as gifts to those people you love, tolerate, desperately desire, to those you have picked in the office Secret Santa exchange, to those you are trying to impress, or to those you need to pretentiously prove you’re better by showing them that you read quality literature, while they’re still rolling around in copies of Mr. Tinkles and the Suspicious Stain. Monday was the Colder trade collection. Tuesday was the Plants Vs. Zombies HC. Wednesday was the Eisner-award-winning Bandette, yesterday was the Bionic Woman collection, and today, today… is my highly acclaimed / treasured novel… Prepare To Die, which came out in trade paperback format just a couple months back.

Prepare To Die is the story of a superhero who, defeated, receives the cliche “Prepare to DIE!” line from his arch-nemesis, but, in my book, he agrees, and is given two weeks to get his life in order and… prepare to die. What happens in those two weeks is the deeper characterization I’ve always wanted to work with in comics, but space never permitted. And you might as well start reading my novels now, because there are more on the way, and you DO want to read my novels now, so that when I’m selling millions of copies you can shrug and tell your friends, “Yeah, Tobin? Been reading his books for years.”

Visit your local bookstores for Prepare To Die, or order it online at the following link.

YES: I WANT TO READ TOBIN’S NOVEL BEFORE MY FRIENDS DO, BECAUSE ALTHOUGH I DO LOVE THEM I STILL FEEL THE NEED TO BE “COOLER” THAN THEY ARE.

And… don’t forget the rest of the week’s Tobin-centric offerings!

I grew up watching reruns of the Bionic Man, and vastly preferred the Bionic Woman because A): she was prettier, and B): I think she was a better actor than Lee Majors.

Sorry, Lee… but it’s just true. Anyway… it was a lot of fun to write a romping adventure story starring the Bionic Woman, published by the fine folks at Dynamite Comics. The collection is available at those comic book stores not scheduled for destruction by Godzilla, and from many online distributors.

HERE’S ONE OF THEM:

What can be said about Bandette? She’s just the devil-may-care best thief in the world. She’s the candy-bar eating adventuress. She’s my all time favorite creation, featuring art by the Eisner award winning cartoonist, Colleen Coover. Bandette has won or stolen the hearts of every one who’s run across her, and her adventures are suitable for all ages, in my little ol’ opinion.

The Bandette adventures are SUPER CHEAP… 99 cents a pop at the wonderful ComiXology. As for the hardcover, I highly recommend you picking up Bandette from your local comic or book store (support local!) but if you can’t find it there, then check the following two links…

BANDETTE from Amazon.

BANDETTE from TFAW… the Dark Horse affiliated comic book type store place.

It’s a fun adventure romp suitable for the entire family, notable for the awe-sational art by Ron Chan, and for the sense of humor that such notable critics as my mother have described as “wry” and “troubling” and “what have I created, oh god what have I done?”

Both the Colder trade collection and Plants Vs. Zombies: Lawnmageddon are available at all the most pleasant comic and book stores, and here’s a couple links for the PvZ book to make supporting literacy just that much more simple.

And don’t forget Colder, spoken of in glowing terms by its creator, below!

Co-creator / artist Juan Ferreyra and I have obviously created a Christmas classic here. The collection includes not only all five issues, but a bonus art gallery and a 2 page intro to the NEXT Colder series, which Juan and I will start releasing quite soon after we finish our upcoming run on the Prometheus comics for the big Dark Horse Comics Prometheus / Aliens / Predator crossover.

Here’s a couple of links to make it easy to nab up a copy of Colder. It’s the holidays! Treat yourself!

Monday was the Colder trade collection. Tuesday was the Plants Vs. Zombies HC. Yesterday was the Eisner-award-winning Bandette, and today is the kick-assedry of the Bionic Woman.

Okay, so the Bandette Hardcover was supposed to be out last week, but there was a bit of an irritating snafu at the distributors. That’s okay… I’ve had some VERY wise people calm me with their wisdom.

So please look in your favorite comic store, bookstore, or alternative dimension for the Eisner award winning, Bandette, available for the first time in print! I’m pretty confident it will be there THIS time.

And… as always, let us know what you think. I’m very proud of this book, as is Colleen Coover, MonkeyBrain Comics, and Dark Horse Comics… and I thank everyone for coming together to make it a reality.

Hey! If you’re in the Portland area, I’ll be doing a signing tomorrow, November 9th, for my Plants Vs. Zombies: Lawnmageddon hardcover! Artist Ron Chan and colorist Matthew Rainwater will be there as well. And a zombie. And you can play the game, and gobble free food and drinks, and win prizes, and TRAVEL THROUGH TIME, but only forward, one minute at a time, you know… in the usual way.
