THANK GOD IT'S POPGUN!

The official BASTARD ROAD celebration for the release of POPGUN volume 4 will be Friday, February 26, 2010 from 5:00pm-9:00pm at New World Comics!

Brian & guest-artist Eric Sandhop will be signing and sketching (well, Eric will sketch - Brian may attempt to perfect a Bastard head over the next 2 1/2 weeks just in case), there'll be food & drink (since we're on a budget we're hoping to make a trade deal for food) and, if all goes according to plan, Brian will talk to Ferris O'Brien on THE SPY the week before the event!

New World is located at 6219 N. Meridian Ave. If you're a fan in OKC, join us for POPGUN FRIDAY and call 405-721-7634 to reserve your copy!

POPGUN 4 PIMPAGE #1

Our pal Popgun editor D.J. Kirkbride shares some Bastard love in his interview with Geekweek.com!

CARRETERA BASTARDA!

At long last - evidence of our European debut! Ricardo at dibbuks sent us copies of El Manglar #11 featuring the fully-translated first CARRETERA BASTARDA story (AKA "Bastard Road")! It's a gorgeous, oversized, squarebound anthology with wonderful work from what looks to be mostly Spanish artists, the superstar French team Dupuy et Berberian and two ugly Americans: Dave & Brian. Check us out on the cover credit block:

We can't wait to see more Spanish adventures of "Carretera Bastarda!"

Four-Letter Words

February, 2010. That’s when the long-awaited Popgun 4 drops and 28 pages of Bastardy goodness are unleashed upon an unsuspecting public. Dave’s story “Elle Hath Fury” runs 16 pages while our pal Eric Sandhop’s “This Bludz For You” is a tight 12. Plus, Dave created additional art for the book featuring his solo creation, the low-rent demigod “Wamgud!” soon to re-appear in the next Bastard tale we’re cooking up right now! And here’s our promotional banner for the book:

The Road to Barcelona

Bastard Road is international! We’ll soon be receiving our copies of Dibbuks’ EL MANGLAR #11, featuring the Spanish language debut of our story in Popgun 2: “Bastard Road,” (aka “Carnage Asada”). Here’s what “Carretera bastarda” looks like en Español:

Big thanks to our amigo Ricardo Esteban for including us in El Manglar. We’re the first American comic artists who’ve been personally invited to appear in the publication and it’s a huge honor. Coming up: “Cockfighter Blues” in Spanish! Ay yi yi!

Introducing…SAVAGE BASTARD!

Attention BASTARD ROAD fans. Run out to your local comic book establishment and buy this book:
Why, you ask? For a rollicking SAVAGE DRAGON adventure, of course! But there’s more! Once you’ve finished absorbing all the Erik Larsen madness you can handle, turn to the back cover to witness this:
That’s right! Dragon vs. Bastard, courtesy of Dave. Erik promised to run the image in the book when it was given to him at San Diego Comic-Con…little did we know he’d give us the back cover! Will this be the last word in Dragon & Bastard existing together? Keep checking in and we’ll let you know! Many thanks to Mr. Erik Larsen for giving us this great opportunity, and Scott De Las Casas for greasin’ the wheels.
