16 hours to go on our Kickstarter campaign, and we are already starting promotion on issue 4! We are pleased to announce that comics superstar Jonboy Meyers is our cover artist for The Imaginary Voyages of Edgar Allan Poe issue 4! If you’ve been reading Marvel or DC Comics, you will surely recognize his name! We will reveal his stunning cover on May 1 at 10AM (EST), and we can’t wait to show you this amazing piece of art which is out-of-this-world fantastic! To say we are excited to see him cover a book featuring our Little Poe and Irving is an understatement! Jonboy is a great friend and we are huge fans of his work!
In other news, our next podcast for The Raven Lunatics promises to be special! Our guest will be none other than New York Times Bestselling author, Matthew Pearl! Pearl is the author of The Poe Shadow (which we loved!) which centers around the mysterious death of the famed poet and author, Edgar Allan Poe. Chris Semtner, Matthew, and I will be discussing the various theories surrounding Poe’s death, so you will not want to miss this episode! The podcast will drop on March 14 at noon(EST)! Be sure to subscribe and leave a comment! You can do that RIGHT HERE.
I will be a guest on The Lovecraft eZine podcast July 22nd! I will be discussing my upcoming eldritch comic, Lovecraft’s Typewriter, as well as the Howard Lovecraft trilogy that I created and co-wrote with Bruce Brown.
This is why we do what we do here at Hocus Pocus Comics! Matthew Laskavy is part of our next generation of readers, and being able to inspire him and young readers to explore new worlds through the medium of comics is exhilarating and deeply humbling!
As you can see, there is a quite a bit going on at Hocus Pocus Comics, so keep watching! 2018 started with a bang and we don’t see us slowing down anytime soon! As always, thank you for the tweets, retweets, shares, pledges, pre-orders, and likes! You guys rock!
