“Bitter Root: The Next Movement” by David F. Walker, Chuck Brown & Sanford Greene – Preorders Available Now!

I am a huge fan of Bitter Root by David F. Walker, Chuck Brown and Sanford Greene.  So you’d be right to think that picking up Bitter Root Volume 4: The Next Movement is a no-brainer.  Here’s the lowdown…

A Lie built a House of Oppression. The Bitter Truth will burn it down.

It is 1964, the height of the Civil Rights Movement. A group of activists have gone missing, and a new generation of the Sangerye family must face a menace far worse than anything their ancestors ever encountered. The monstrous jinoo—creatures born out of hate and racism—have evolved into a threat that few people are willing to acknowledge, and even fewer know how to fight.

A bold new chapter in the epic saga of the multiple Eisner Award-winning series collects BITTER ROOT: THE NEXT MOVEMENT #1-5.

Pre-orders for the October 28, 2025 release are available now.

Deal me in.

Jack Carter & Massimo Miller – Rich Hennemann Goes Full Tilt!

Rich Hennemann is a freelance artist. A few years ago I picked up his sketchbook and a sketch and I was hooked. Since then I’ve gotten several sketches from Rich. The one above is my most recent.

I requested Sly Stallone as Jack Carter teamed with Massimo Miller from Jason Copland’s FULL TILT (which gets my highest recommendation!).   Rich came through like he always does.  He absolutely nailed the piece.  Great likenesses, atmosphere, attitude and setting.  I couldn’t be more pleased.

Jack Carter & John Wick Share a Drink by Marc Lapierre!

Every year the Cartoon Art Museum does a fundraiser.  Artists take on commissions with the funds raised going to support the Museum.  It’s a great cause supported by exceptional artists who share their talents in an effort to support the Museum.

This year one of the two artists I commissioned was Marc Lapierre. As you can see, I asked for Stallone from Get Carter and Keanu Reeves as John Wick.  Not only did Lapierre create an amazing drawing but added a captions for an unexpected payoff. Awesome job.  Click on the photo above to see a biggie-sized version.

I cannot thank Marc Lapierre enough for this sweet addition to my Stallone art collection.
