Check out Danny Earls take on Sly Stallone as Rambo. Ain’t that something! I first saw Danny Earls’ art on the Hopeless Kickstarter. I liked what I saw, backed the project and then headed over to Danny Earls’ Instagram. Truth be told you should do the same.
Drew Struzan’s Limited Edition “Hellboy II: The Golden Army” Prints!
Hellboy II director, Guillermo del Toro commissioned Drew Struzan to create a poster to promote the film. The studio decided not to use Struzan’s art and so the poster was previously only available as a giveaway print at New York Comic con in 2008… until now. Well, tomorrow.
There will be two different versions of the Hellboy II: The Golden Army print:
The one shown above is a Limited Edition of 450, 24×36 inches, Hand Numbered Offset Lithograph Print With Gold Hot Foil Title, Printed on 300gsm Archival Paper. It retails for $85.
The other version doesn’t have the Hellboy II: The Golden Army logo or movie info at the bottom. It has a Limited Edition of 250, 24×36 inches, Hand Numbered Offset Lithograph Print, Printed on 300gsm Archival Paper. It retails for $75.
If you’re interested you will be able to pick up both versions of the poster on Thursday the 31st of March, starting at 1pm Eastern from Vice-Press.com and Sideshow Art Prints.

In June 1962, Frank Lee Morris did the unthinkable and broke free from Alcatraz prison! Celebrating the 60th anniversary of his incredible escape, this thrilling graphic novel imagines what Frank Lee did next…
Bank Robber. Escape Artist. Genius.
But on June 11th 1962, Frank Lee Morris performed the most daring feat of them all: escaping from Alcatraz. He was never found, presumed to have drowned in San Francisco Bay. The FBI’s case remains open to this day.
But what if he survived that fateful night? A free man. A second chance. What did he do then? Follow Frank in this stunning graphic novel on his journey from villainous convict to finding sanctuary and starting a new life, full of heartache, sorrow and a profound bittersweet acceptance.

SILVER: Of TREASURES and THIEVES by Stephan Franck is Coming!
If you missed out on the Silver Kickstarter, you’re in luck because a new edition is coming. Silver: Of Treasures and Thieves (Silver Book #1) will be released on October 18, 2022. Here’s the lowdown…
A rollicking vampire-filled graphic novel heist that will keep you guessing until the very end for fans of Bram Stoker’s Dracula and Ocean’s Eleven from award-nominated animator and comic book creator Stephan Franck
There are only two kinds of objects in this world. The ones that shine and the ones that don’t.
Silver’s protagonist, James Finnigan, only concerns himself with objects from the first category. Those objects don’t hide in plain sight. They hide in dark places.
When Finnigan loses his grifter gang’s lifetime fortune in a heist gone wrong, he stumbles on a consolation prize in the crypt of the Harker Foundation—a notebook that tells of an ancient, immeasurable treasure, accompanied by a bar of pure silver to prove it. It’s a tall tale, but also Finnigan’s only lead. In an effort to make up for what he’s lost, he mounts the heist of the millennium in search of the Silver Dragon. Just one catch: The famed treasure is said to be hidden in a castle full of vampires.
Set in the noir-pulp era of the 1930s, award-nominated animator Stephan Franck’s Silver is a rip-roaring, genre-bending graphic novel that draws on the best of gothic horror and heist tropes to tell a story that is pure adventure. Silver offers the captivating dynamics of an ensemble cast of misfits, while inviting us to accept that Bram Stoker’s Dracula was a tale of fact, not fiction. The result is a smart, innovative story complete with world-class visuals and sharply drawn characters that’s equal parts action, humor, and heart.
If this sounds like a ride you’d like to take, Silver: Of Treasures and Thieves pre-orders are here!
The HOPELESS are Coming to Get You, Barbara!
Hopeless is a new horror graphic novel that sounds/looks good. The ‘Hopeless‘ Team consists of Mike Raicht (co-creator, writer), Zach Howard (co-creator, art director), Danny Earls (artist), Clara Meath (Kickstarter manager), Thompson Knox (letterer) and Ed Lavalee (logo design). The Hopeless Kickstarter runs until 7:34am on April 24th. I’m in!
Check out the synopsis and a few preview pages (click on the art to see ’em biggie-sized) to see if you want in as well.
‘Hopeless’ is a 100-page graphic novel that begins on Chrisler Street, a dead end street in the fictional town of Hope, New York, enduring the turmoil of the late 60s. Set during the Vietnam war, Hope, like thousands of small towns across America, has been gutted by the draft, the horrors of Vietnam, and the ongoing battle for civil rights.
Now, that landscape will be invaded by one final, horrific twist- the Tagged.
Who are the Tagged? Those unfortunate souls infected by vicious parasites during their time deep in the jungles of Vietnam. These parasite-infected soldiers are about to unknowingly unleash a new type of hell on their hometowns. Slowly driven mad, their minds ravaged by mind-destroying parasites, these Tagged soldiers will viciously tear their communities apart.
