catch one of my comics in comfort food zine!

by Joseph LusterLeave a Comment on catch one of my comics in comfort food zine!

Heyyyy… I’ve been busy! Sadly, most of what I’ve been busy with is stuff I can’t post on the blog, hence the lack of updates. Anyway, here’s one for you. I recently contributed a two-page comic to a zine by Lauren Jordan called Comfort Food Zine. The book was successfully funded through Indiegogo, and in it you’ll find a bunch of food-related comics by myself and 33 other artists.

My comic, naturally, is about bagels. Here’s what it looks like in the book:

It’s pretty simple. I did it all on paper in brush pen with Photoshop for the grays and a tiny bit of gradient. It was fun.

As far as I know Lauren has had the book with her at various conventions, and will be updating her store with them at some point. If you’re really interested in one you can contact me, because I have about 5 on hand.

That’s it for now! I also still have a very small amount of SLIME minis still available on the bigcartel store.

wayback wednesday: the stupendous stinger!

by Joseph LusterLeave a Comment on wayback wednesday: the stupendous stinger!

I was visiting home this past weekend, so of course I had to dig through all my old stuff for a wave of nostalgia. This time I discovered some things I had been trying to find for a long time, including some of my very first comics. Thus, I present to you—hailing from I’m guessing sometime around 1990, when I was 9 or 10—The Stupendous Stinger!

Or, rather, MARVEL COMICS presents…

two of a vine: jamain’s big day out!

by Joseph LusterLeave a Comment on two of a vine: jamain’s big day out!

This is NO April Fools’ Day gag. We’ve got a brand new 14-page issue of Two of a Vine, finally answering the question of what a California Raisin does on their day off.

If you’re just joining us, the first issue of Two of a Vine saw our heroes, Wes and Joe, finding an unbelievably cheap apartment… with one catch: California Raisins only. Thankfully the Raisins don’t seem to notice Wes and Joe are just two guys in dumpy, gutter Raisin costumes, and so they live amongst them in the most bizarre of luxury.

You can catch up on every issue at the Two of a Vine page. And now… Jamain’s Big Day Out!

slime gets its first review!

by Joseph LusterLeave a Comment on slime gets its first review!

Hey! It’s hard to believe but it’s been over a month since I debuted Slime, and amazingly there are only a few copies left before the first printing is completely out. I’m not sure if or when there will be a second printing, so if you planned on getting one be sure to grab it while it’s hot.

If you need more than my string-bean synopsis to go by, small press comics review site Optical Sloth has the very first review of Slime up now!

Elsewhere (as in, like, right here at this very desk, but whatever), Wes and I have been hard at work on the next issue of Two of a Vine. It’s almost done, so go ahead and catch up on the series to prepare for the next sizzling chapter!
