It’s Pimp It Friday again!
DEDLOCK #1
Written and Illustrated by A.E. Sparrow
Standard Comic
Black & White
Page Count: 24
Cover Price $2.50 (POD)
Lady Draca Infernia suddenly finds herself without an empire to rule. Face-to-face with the man who helped orchestrate her downfall, she uses every trick in her bag to avenge her loss. But this man isn’t all he seems to be, and before too long the pair find their lives to be linked…in more ways than one!
When the clandestine Ordo Draco Infernium is purchased by an outside investor, its offices liquidated and its arsenal of doomsday devices confiscated, Lady Draca Infernia suddenly finds herself on the streets with no marketable skills. Determined to restore her evil empire to its former levels of glory, she finds her way blocked by one man…with matrimony on his mind!
Deadlock #1 is available through IndyPlanet.com.
Or you can stop by booth T22 at the Phoenix Comicon Memorial Day weekend and meet Al face to face…
…if you DARE!
Al will also be pimping his comic THUGS! with artist partner Stephen Reid (aka “Flint Lockjaw“) at Cactuscon.
You can check out THUGS! online here.
Al’s a great guy and has great taste in head wear!

Hey gang- lots to pimp this week!
The SIVADS of March!
March 25-28
A four-day tribute through art, film, music and words to the late Watson Davis, the innovative Malco ad man and ballyhoo specialist known for his elaborate movie promotions and who, in his guise as the ‘horror host’ known as Sivad (on the “Fantastic Features” program from 1962 to 1972 on WHBQ-TV Channel 13), was one of the most influential and beloved Memphis pop-culture heroes of the era, with a popularity that crossed generational and racial lines. He also scared the willies outta me as a kid here in Memphis in the late 60″s!

Will Draw Comics For DC!
My Bushi Tales partner Dave Beaty has quit his day job and is working on comics full time now. Titans #23 is in stores this week, so be sure to check that out at your local Comic Shop. Dave will soon have some “Brightest Day” news to share with us. Congrats, Dave! ___________________________________________
Superman Guests Announced!
The second weekend in June is devoted to the legendary character that stands for “Truth, Justice and the American Way” each year in Metropolis, Illinois. But Superman is always kind enough to share the spotlight with a few other celebrities.
Special guests have just been confirmed as headliners of the 32nd annual Superman Celebration June 10-13. Smallville fans will be excited to see this year’s celebrity line-up.
Laura Vandervoort, who portrays Supergirl/ Kara and Sam Witwer, also known as Doomsday, will be the Smallville actors headlining this year’s Celebration. And, the “First Lady of Metropolis” Noel Neill, is scheduled to make a return trip to the festival. Fans will have the opportunity to meet the celebrities in person at autograph and question and answer sessions.
Metropolis has become such a fan of Neill that the Chamber of Commerce will unveil a statue of her likeness on the second day of the Superman Celebration. Engraved bricks are currently being sold for the base that will hold the life-size sculpture of the actress.
With the unveiling planned for June 11, final engraving orders are needed at the monument company very soon. A deadline of April 16 has been set for ordering engraved bricks guaranteed to be in place for the unveiling. More information about the statue and a brick order form can be found at www.noelneillstatue.com. Orders may also be placed by calling the Chamber of Commerce at 618-524-2714 or emailing metrochamber@verizon.net.
I’ll be back again in Artists Alley/Writers Way this year- which is just down the street from where the new Noel statue will be. As soon as I find out who the other comics guests are I’ll post it here.

Got Carded!
Dave and I are both working on sketch card sets for a couple different companies. I should be able to announce for who and show some examples later next month.
Stay “tooned”!
