I did it, folks. 24 pages in 22 hours, 8 minutes. One heck of a challenge, and an end product I’m pretty proud of considering the time constraints.

Download it as a PDF here:

Or read it online below!

I’ll post more details and photos of the event tomorrow, after I’ve had a chance to catch up on the work I missed over the weekend. A huge, huge thanks to the folks at Rooks Comics and Games- they stayed up all night just so three guys could draw. They’re the best comics shop in Montana, no joke.

Thanks also to Comics Alliance for showing my work in their 24 Hour Comics Day rundown! I appreciate the shoutout.

This is it! This is the book that I’ve been working on all summer. Ladies and gentlemen, I’m proud to present Dracula the Unconquered!

Drac is BACK!

Written by my good buddy Chris Sims (of Comics Alliance and The ISB fame) and letters by Awesome Hospital‘s Josh Krach, Dracula the Unconquered is an all-new, ongoing digital comics series! The first issue, “The Return of the Black Death” debuts October 31st. Each issue will be available for download for the low price of just $1.

There are already some goodies up on the site, including a step-by-step breakdown of the process that went in to designing the cover for the first issue. Check it out!

I’ll be posting sneak peeks of the art a few times a week on Facebook and my Twitter account under the hashtag #DtU, so stay tuned!

24 Hour Comic Book day, everybody. Scott McCloud’s challenge to comic book artists, gluttons for punishment and deadline junkies.

 

I’m taking the challenge for the first time this year, and the good folks at Rooks Comics and Games in Bozeman are hosting the event. Stop by if you think you’re up for the challenge, or if you just want to point and laugh.

 

Kirby sez: ARE YOU MAN ENOUGH?

This one is WORTH three exclamation points.
It’s finally up, you guys!
Woman of A.C.T.I.O.N., the raddest spy story this side of Casino Royale, just went live on The Action Age! Featuring an action-packed script by Chris Sims, Smart, slick artwork by Chris Piers, and explosive colors by yours truly, Steve Downer, Woman of A.C.T.I.O.N. is the best free online comic coming out this evening, and that’s a fact. Go! Read it! HERE!

In celebration of the event, I’m posting a never-before seen pinup featuring characters from the story. Drink it in, folks- and then go read the story!

Penny Devlin is RAD.
