Valentine's Day, Little Hearts, and Pornhounds too

Welp, happy Valentines day folks! If you are looking for something fitting to get that special someone, I have 2 recommendation for yah.

1: Why not pre-order a comic anthology on marriage equality? This vid/montage is for Little Heart, a kickstarter project that happens to be another one that I am involved with. The project itself was created in partnership with local non-profit [MN]Love. Their creative director, Simon Stromberg got that ball rolling for this project to happen. Music is by the multi talented Dan Moyer.

2: Why not pick up a copy of Pornhounds 2 by the brilliant Sharon Lintz and various artists, including killer work by 2DC favorite Nic Breutzman. Say, did I mention that Pornhounds 2 made it into the Top 15 Comics of 2011 over on High-Low via Rob Clough? Well, it did. Nice! You can pick that book up in the shop, just scroll down a bit.

Some of our fav cartoonists are on that same list: Noah Van Sciver, Gilbert and Jaime Hernandez, Julia Gfrörer, Tessa Brunton and many other amazing cartoonists -- go check it out yourself!

Anna Bongiovanni had her self-published comic, The Offering recently reviewed over at 13 minutes. From the review:  "I like to imagine The Offering as a softer version of Julia Gfrorer’s Flesh & Bone, which was one of the best books I read last year. It has that same sort of flickering line weight, this rustic quality that reverberates with kinetic potential."  -- Justin Giampaoli

In the fall we will be publishing Out of Hollow Water by Anna Bongiovanni, which will collect some of her past work and some new stuff as well. Really really excited for that book! 

New review over at 13 Minutes, new retailer added, um...

Moving drudgery concludes with half of 2DC's, uh, "crew" (?) settling in to their/our new pad. I am tired and have been staring at the screen for about an hour trying to figure out what in the heck I am doing. Anyways and elsewhere--

"The Death of Elijah Lovejoy plays like a tasty appetizer for whatever main course awaits us in the form of the pre-Civil War toiling-away-in-obscurity Abe Lincoln book called The Hypo that Van Sciver has been crafting and promising us for months."

As I was trying to get at, Justin Giampaoli, the chap that write's thoughtful, intelligent reviews over at 13 Minutes, did just that for our first book with the very talented, newly mustached Noah Van Sciver-- which is of course The Death of Elijah Lovejoy. Oh, the above blurb is taken from his review of said book. So, make with a habit and click with the links!

Twin Cities Comics, which incidentally is on the edge of MPLS and Columbia Heights, has just picked up Yearbooks (and at it's new price of 10 bones)! I am always thrilled to see that book in shops.

Speaking of shops & Mustache Van Sciver, I finally managed to get some copies of The Death of Elijah Lovejoy over to Big Brain Comics. Now please folks, if you happen to be in either 'dem woods of the neck, pick and peck them's books on up.  A Hairy Backed Hogan sends yah.
