ARCHIBALD CHASES THE DRAGON (NOV082277)
Please check it out and let us know what you think!
PRESS RELEASE - CELEBRATE THE CHINESE NEW YEAR WITH ARCHIBALD!
Archibald Aardvark returns in an all-new noir mystery !
X October 2008 (Berkeley, CA) - Image Comics’ Shadowline presents an all-new mature readers adventure with the greatest unknown cartoon star of yesteryear, Archibald Aardvark, as ARCHIBALD CHASES THE DRAGON!
“As always, this one’s definitely not for the kids,” said Archibald Aardvark creator and artist Grant Bond. “Having Dara Naraghi take over the writing is perfect, as ARCHIBALD CHASES THE DRAGON puts a whole new spin on the murder behind the murder of Archibald’s brother.”
ARCHIBALD CHASES THE DRAGON is the third Archibald one-shot illustrated by Bond, following ARCHIBALD SAVES CHRISTMAS & ARCHIBALD SAVES EASTER, and the first written by Naraghi. This time around a tip-off about a long thought solved murder brings Archibald to Little China, in search of the mysterious “Compassionate Wind of Death”. However, it doesn’t take long before this noir tale of greed, secrets and a deal with the devil threatens to have Archibald fall victim to the red dragon haunting his dreams.
ARCHIBALD CHASES THE DRAGON (NOV082277), a 32-page two-color one-shot for $3.50, will be in stores January 7th, 2008. |

Very cool, love the art style. Are you a Ralph Bakshi fan, by any chance?

Thanks, guys! I hope you do give this a shot. It's got a few surprises inside. Here's one of them. A super cool paper toy from Matt Hawkins.
You can see more from Matt @ www.custompapertoys.com or www.madhawkins.com

Yea, I dig his stuff. I seem to have a predisposition towards animation. I'm capable of producing regular comic book art, but I've enjoyed doing this more for some reason! |

It pains me to say this, but it is cool, cooler even then poor Archiblad. But Archibald is cool and everyone should read it!!!!!!! Was being in POPGUN not enough for you!!!! Was SAVING CHRISTMAS NOT ENOUGH FOR YOU? HOW ABOUT EASTER?
If you can't read a book after it has done all that for you, then you are a heartless, dare I say godless, bastard!!!!

I dig these books. Have all three. I've actually got a copy of Archibald Saves Christmas pinned to the wall next to my desk. The artwork is amazing.
Any chance of a future Halloween story?

You should get the Dragon book and scan and print out the Archibald paper toy on the back cover and leave him near your desk.
I'd attempt to make one, but the only paper I have at home is plain copy paper. My brother has some thick, almost cardboard paper and I bet I'd do better with that kind.
Or maybe I should practice with normal paper first. That way, when my clumsy fingers mess it up, I won't feel so bad. |

Yes, and I'm quite upset about it. Why isn't it being printed in its own one-shot? I shouldn't have to buy the trade to get the concluding story when I've been buying the one-shots all along!  |

Because not enough people were like you, Varrus, and they didn't support the one-shots enough. Cryin' shame. But at least the story is getting finished, one way or another. We made the best decision we could, and our support for Grant and the character won out over not putting it out at all.
Let's hope this trade introduces more people to the character so that it can become more than just a labor of love for all involved.

I knew that would be your answer before I clicked the "first new post" button but it still makes me sad to read it. *sigh*

Agreed on that last part especially. And that's not just because I have a story idea that I'd someday like to have a chance of working on with Grant.
