Free Comic Book Day 2012

I had every intention of actually having a free comic out today…self published, of course. Unfortunately, I didn’t have any “new” material (in quotes because new is a relative term…it’d be new to readers). So, apologies to Jim Hanley’s Universe and Brooklyn Comics & More (where I had intended to sign for the day).

However, I do have some free comics you can read digitally (or via download), if you’re so inclined.

FCHS – aka, FCHS FCBD 2009…The First 24 Pages (if you’d like to download the whole book for 4.99, visit Graphicly; to own a copy, visit Comixpress)

The Golden Mantis of Chinatown – 8 Page Story (Appears in Popgun Vol 4, available at comic shops everywhere; download here)

The Mercury Chronicles #0 -16 Page Preview to the aborted mini-series

The Mercury Chronicles Annual #1 – 18 Page comic for the aborted mini-series

I also have some free prose on Trip City:

STEEL CITY NOIR

EDIT – 5/23/11 – As I am now using this link/post to spread my Free work around, I’ve changed the Trip City link to include all Steel City Noir tales, including the Primer.

*I have other books available in my Store.

Sometimes, You Just Don’t Know

Imagine waking up one morning and seeing a character you created on TV, or opening in movie theaters, or all over the internet. That didn’t quite happen to me today, but it felt like it.

I have a deviant Art account that I use…mostly to find new artists to work with (it’s how I found Sean Izaakse) and to promote art for existing projects. A lot of the guys I follow are friends and collaborators. I check it once or twice a day, and this morning, I saw that Edi (Torres, my STRAY co-creator) posted two new pieces. This was one of them:

Edi wrote, “Here’s a super late piece for a good friend of man, a man of military and paintball skirmish backgrounds, immediately fell in love with a previous sketch of this same character; so he wanted his own, thanks Jaime. It’s always fun drawing that mask flapping in the wind.” So, not only does an artist enjoy drawing him, but a fan of Edi’s saw an older piece of Mr. Mercury and wanted one for himself.

In a weird way, this is as much validation as a movie or cartoon. It’s not nearly as big, but it’s still, in a way, proof of concept.

Makes me want to work on this guy some more…

The Week(s) in Delsante

by Vito Delsante on April 2, 2011 at 12:41 pm
Posted In: Uncategorized

Haven’t done this in a few weeks, which means there’s a lot to catch up on. Join me!

  1. I think that the new chapter of Stuck began in the weeks since I’ve updated. Catch up on everything Stuck here.
  2. Recently did a huge art dump of The Mercury Chronicles art. All worthy of desktop wallpapering. Check it all out here.
  3. I added three new open source characters to my list of 100 (which is at 47). Catch up on all of them here.
  4. You can pre-order my next book: Green Hornet Casefiles (FEB111083 Softcover/FEB111084 Limited Ed Hardcover).  I’m pretty excited about this because it’s my first ever prose work.  Feel free to can order it via my webstore.
  5. I feel like I’ve been remiss in reminding folks about FCHS. Readers can order FCHS in this link, while retailers should sign up for a Retail Account with ComixPress to get a Diamond comparable discount on FCHS.
  6. Finally, what is this?

I wish I knew where the colorized version of Dino’s was, but I lost it along the way. It sucks, but I have the original…I’m sure I can do right by Dean.

 

All in all, I’m very blessed.

New Life for Mercury Chronicles?

If you’ve never read the #0 issue of The Mercury Chronicles, it’s now up on my site. If you want to read more, email Mike Lilly and tell him you’d pay to see this finished. It’s all written and the only thing that’s holding us back is making sure Mike can work on this, and just this, and to do that, we need to get Mike and the entire art team paid. Maybe, if all of you tell him you want to see it done, we can get the full four issue mini out by the end of 2011.  It’s in your hands now. PS – If you’re on Facebook, contact him here.

Divert Your Attention – Two Oldies, but Goodies

ChrisCross introduced me to this site, Issu, where you can make comics from documents. So, I figured I’d go into the Way Back Machine and bring out two comics, one which has never been seen before (and is technically, not finished). Enjoy!
