After a too-long hiatus, I’m proud to announce that the new Split Lip story, Last Caress, with art by Douglas Draper Jr., will begin serialization starting tomorrow. As with previous updates, new pages will post on Tuesday and Thursday mornings–the story will serialize on this site through July (though it’s available now in Split Lip: [...]

I’m pleased to announce my next comic: Labor and Love.

Labor and Love is a collection of 4 comics adapting classic folk ballads. I wrote all 4 stories and Neal Von Flue, a man who likes a good comic and a good folk song, drew them.
The comic contains adaptations of the songs:

The Wind and The Rain
The Wreck [...]

Our spring break is over! Split Lip returns on July 26th with a new story: A Mother’s Love, with art by David Hitchcock. I’ve previewed the story here:

The story is creature feature taking place in 1820s Massachusetts and Dave is killing it artwise with this one. I think you’re going [...]

Back in 2007, artist Neal Von Flue and I did a really fun, sad, creepy adaptation of the old folk ballad The Wind and The Rain for Split Lip.
As we did that, Neal and I discovered our shared love of old folk music (Neal’s even in a band that plays it!). As we talked about [...]

There’s a new interview with me up at GammaSquad that I want to point you guys to, if you’re interested.
It’s conducted by Lauren Davis, of Storming the Tower and Comic Book Guide to the Mission fame, and it’s one of my favorite interviews I’ve done. I think in this one I did my best job [...]

I’m glad to be able to tell you that’s that changed. [...]

It’s spring break time again and we eager co-eds here at Split Lip are heading out to more tropical climes for a little while. While we’re gone, we won’t be updating the site, but when we get back to campus, we’ll not only have strings and strings of beads around our necks and luscious tans, [...]

As with last year’s Split Lip: The Harvestmen, this year’s edition—Termites In Your Smile—sports an awesome cover ace horror artist Shane Oakley.
Split Lip: Termites In Your Smile and other stories features the title story and seven others, as well as commentary by me on every story and behind the scenes material (pencils, script, etc.) for [...]

After a couple of years of hitting the convention scene pretty hard (two drives from Rhode Island to Maryland in the space of three weeks last fall was pretty intense, to say nothing of trips to NYC and Philly, too), in 2011 I’m going to be dialing back Split Lip’s convention presence a bit. As [...]
