Been a while since I sketched good ole’ SAMURAI SLUG.. so here he is in glorious black and white.. and yes, that sword is quite sharp.

Samurai Slug seems to always tangle with these misunderstood freaks of nature… Just ask the Mothman…
Working on several things right now so this is a little bit of a re-tread. From the pages of HOT MEXICAN LOVE COMICS 2008, here is the complete 7 page comic called MUERTO MAMBO featuring SAMURAI SLUG. It was all drawn digitally using Adobe Photoshop CS3.
ALTERNATING CURRENTS will be making it’s bay area debut at the ALTERNATIVE PRESS EXPO this Saturday and Sunday, November 1st and 2nd at the Concourse Exhibition Center in downtown San Francisco. I’ll also have copies of Random Anomalies and the last of Wayward Traveller and Steel Noodles: A Slice of Heaven for sale. Octavio Rodriguez and I are excited to return to our favorite convention and hope you can all stop by and hang with us. APE is cozy and intimate and a great place to meet and see an amazing collection of work.

It’s a little under two weeks before the big show in San Diego and the final prep has begun!
According to the printer, ALTERNATING CURRENTS will be ready sometime next week. I saw a mock up of the book last week and it looks great and I am very excited to finally share it with all of you soon.
Also back in February, I was able to finish a seven page contribution to the new HOT MEXICAN LOVE COMICS 2008 called MUERTO MAMBO starring a character I created way back in 1995 called SAMURAI SLUG.
Slug first appeared on HMLC Number 1 and 2. and at the time, I was green and had no clue how to draw comics. Back then Slug looked like this:
Samurai Slug was created in a lab when slug and human DNA where combined in an experiment. The result is a blob of nebulous flesh that continues to slowly evolve. In Muerto Mambo, Samurai Slug now looks a bit more human than before. And like the other two stories, he is still trying to go on vacation…. but fate always seems to get in the way.
HMLC 2008 will be on sale at Comic-Con at Small Press table N8. Here’s a panel from MUERTO MAMBO and the sexy new cover for HMLC painted by Paul Wee:
