dark humor

9p preview of Born from Ashes by Vincent York This material is copyrighted and not permitted for use without the permission of its author. What if everything you love abandoned you? Born From Ashes is a modern-day, urban story about love, loss, and redemption. When Miles Burns, a twenty-five year old, uninspired writer, loses his girlfriend, place of residence, bookstore job, and best friend, he accepts an unusual employment offer from a Heidi Fleissesque hustler named Antoinette. On his dark-humored journey toward redemption, Miles finds inspiration to finish his novel, rediscovers love in a girl named Alaska, and works as an unconventional escort named Hefner. Before unknowingly befriending a successful literary agent, Miles encounters a variety of tragically amusing clients who embody the notion that not all is what it appears to be. Like Kemble Scott’s SoMa, Born From Ashes is a fast-paced tour around the streets of San Francisco with hipster, west coast characters, possibly long-distant cousins to Arthur Nersesian’s The Fuck-up and Chinese Takeout cast of denizens. Born From Ashes is for anyone who has ever asked the question, “Why is this happening to me?” To find out more about Vincent York & Born from Ashes, visit him on MySpace 10p preview of Jesus Hates Zombies: Those Slack-Jaw Blues - Revised Written by STEPHEN LINDSAY and MIKE BARTOLOTTA Cover by ARTHUR SUYDAM Artwork by LAUREN MONARDO, JEFF McCOMSEY, MICHAEL S.

Tim Porter won the Bottle of Clam Juice [It's an INTERACTIVE HOLIDAY CARD & I ran a contest with it]. I haven't given it to him yet...I'm going to his wedding in two weeks, so he'll get his prize along with my tasteful wedding card [Did you download that yet?]. Anyhow, download this puppy. Print it up, fill it out and send it along... in the middle of August? You'd probably really freak out your grandmother if you did. Then you could show up at her house in a coat and mittens [the kind that attach to each other through your sleeves] brush off some fake snow...then tell me about it. Or draw a cartoon. Or something. Do something. If you know me in e-land you'll get a brand new INTERACTIVE CARD this coming Holiday Season, or in September. Whichever comes first. Since we are in the middle of "wedding season" I have uploaded a card I made for some friends who got married back in 2005. I have given a copy to everybody I know who's since gotten married. Most of them are still friends with me. It's yours for free. Just buy my next one. I usually write "blank & blank on their wedding night". You do whatever you want with it. JB Created by Michael Bracco (Birth, Novo), Atty and Max is a story of love, adventure, tragedy, and beer; told through the eyes of two very different men trapped in one scrawny little body. Atty, a naive and gentle soul controls the shared body but can never control the mouth that is Max, a chauvinistic, homophobic, drunken ass who's unfortunately attached to the backside of Atty's skull. Join them as they search for the meaning of life, a brewski, and/or a 3-breasted prostitute depending on whom you ask. A 24p preview of the Graphic Novel from Alterna Comics
