"The Adventures of Simone & Ajax" is about to wrap up it's first "season" with the conclusion of their first original, full-color graphic-novel, "The Case of the Maltese Duck" available online for free at www.ComicMix.com. Within a few weeks of this update it's likely the S&A icon on the ComicMix homepage will rotate off, so for your convenience here are direct links to all the Simone & Ajax comics on ComicMix:

"The Adventures of Simone & Ajax" will return this fall when I'll be writing and drawing the first of two all-new, full-color graphic novels, one with a Holiday theme and the other a Pirate Adventure. Also, a limited-edition Simone & Ajax t-shirt will soon be available. I'll have them at my convention appearances (see below for info) this summer and via mail-order after that. Keep checking back here or the Simone & Ajax homepage, www.simoneandajax.com, for more news and previews.

And remember, all these Simone & Ajax comics (plus several other series) are available for FREE online, with no membership or sign-up needed, at www.ComicMix.com. Please click on any of the thumbnails below for a larger image of these new Simone & Ajax pages.

The Katy Keene paperback collection, "Katy Keene: Model Behavior", is done and the book will be out in August. It collects all 10 stories that ran in Archie & Friends plus an all-new 22-pager written and drawn by me and promotional art, all behind new front and back-covers by me. You can order it now through your local comics shop or pre-order it online from Amazon.com.

I'm still inking Jack of Fables for DC/Vertigo. The third Trade paperback collection will be out in June. I've also been helping out on some recent issues of Fables, #73-75. As well, I'm continuing my run on Futurama for Bongo Comics. Besides inking the new issues, some of my earlier issues will soon be collected into books, so please keep an eye out for those. Also inked a story for an upcoming Simpsons Super Spectacular.

Convention season is here, so you'll find me in the Artists Alleys at both Wizard World Chicago, June 26-29, and Comic-Con International in San Diego, July 23-27. I'll be selling art, Simone & Ajax t-shirts, and maybe prints, as well as signing comics and chatting, so please stop by. I will post news as to where I'll be at those shows or any other shows, so please check back again later or check the program guides online or when you get there. I'll also be doing my usual "Professional Networking" seminar in San Diego on Thursday the 24th. Again, please check programming updates for exact time and location.

This summer the Chicago Tap Theatre presents an expanded and revised version of The Hourglass in "The Stop-Time Chronicles", a superhero tap dancing opera, which I co-wrote, running for 5 weeks starting Friday June 27, so it will be running the weekend of Wizard World Chicago. Think about checking it out if you're in town. Some other big news about this show coming soon.

Finally, I've continued to add pages to my original art sales page at Comiccon Art, where you'll find pages from Jack of Fables, Katy Keene, and more. And if you're wondering about Simone & Ajax originals, I'll begin selling those for the first time pretty soon.

That's it for now, so please check out the new Simone & Ajax comics at ComicMix. Thanks!
