HAPPY NEW YEAR (plus news!)

2010-01-11T05:56:00.000-08:00

Happy New Year to you all! Last year was a long and arduous one for me and for many people I know. But 2010 is looking bright!

Tim has finished all the artwork for Book One and it is now in my hands for the lettering and finished art steps. We're heading toward a launch somewhere in June/July.

VERY exciting times.

I hope you all have an exciting 2010 and thanks for reading along and supporting us!!

Cheers

Stewart Cook

Hey, hey we're the Monty's...

2009-11-25T17:05:00.000-08:00

I've been waiting for this pic to arrive for well over a year and this morning it landed in my inbox, Tims detailed rendition of The Monty's! Once the most famous pop band (circa 1960's) in the country, now a novelty act who travel the country in their retro bus, performing at shopping malls.

They only play a small role in Book One, but play a much larger role in Book Two!!

Enjoy!!

We're ALIVE!!!

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. We're still here, been a frantic end of year! Updates will come once the new year greets us! Thanks to everyone for all their support this year!!

Cheers

Book One

2009-08-26T21:24:00.000-07:00

As Tim and I head towards the finish of Dave: Zombie Hunter Book One, I thought I'd post an example of the evolving look. On the left of this image is the artwork as finished by Tim and then on the right the same page but with a bit of 'grunge' added to it.

Hopefully it replicates a bit of that "Night Of The Living Dead" look and feel, but without sacrificing all the detail and 'awesome' that Tim puts into the artwork.

Fonts, size of type and borders on panels are all still being adjusted and played with. Paper stock samples are coming into the studio tomorrow (exciting), so I can see exactly what we'll be printing onto. It's all systems go!

Let me know what you think!

IT'S OUT!

OPERATION: GEHANNA

The time is drawing VERY close for the release of the Dave: Zombie Hunter prequel entitled OPERATION GEHANNA!

Just a reminder... this prequel story is EXCLUSIVE to Fistfull of Comics and WILL NOT be a part of the completed Graphic Novel. It's not essential to the completed book, but will add a little bit of "aaahh.. ok" to the experience.

Get over to Pulp Fiction and support Tim, Myself and of course everyone else who has some freaking RAD work appearing in this issue of Fistfull of Comics!!

Cheers

Oh you sexy beast!

2009-06-13T07:35:00.000-07:00

Ladies and Gentlemen... this is the shit!

Tim Ide off the hook!! This will likely be a quite limited poster/print run for the launch. Tiny little tweaks to go still... but she's 95% there.

Working on this stuff is still exciting!! Love me some Dave!

2009-06-08T07:08:00.001-07:00

Well I'm proud as punch!! My first published comic book work is out and available for anyone who should wish to purchase and read it!!

It's been a long, long, long ride to this moment, no matter how small it may seem to some. I've been writing and drawing my own tale's ever since I can remember and to have someone else place some faith in my work and plop it into their publication is not only exciting, but inspiring.

I'm up to about Page 5 of the full comic, things are held up a little as Anthony (the writer) and his wife are due to give birth fairly soon and that's obviously a priority!! But I'm very much enjoying putting this story together. I hope you all enjoy reading it!!

Cheers

Stewart

Site news and FistFull of Comics details

2009-04-13T04:02:00.000-07:00

Hello again!

www.davezombiehunter.com is now up and running! It's light on content at this stage, but there's plenty more to come as we get closer to finishing the book and the release of the FistFull of Comics preview.

Speaking of which, we've got a confirmed 7 pages appearing in issue #4, which will be released in August. The story is a short prequel that focuses it's attention on Tiberius Magus a young soldier in WWII. HOW that relates to the actual graphic novel is something you'll have to read to find out. Teaser art will be posted as Tim finishes it.

Fingers crossed, we should be able to sell copies of the FistFull comic through www.davezombiehunter.com and also through www.snarkhunters.com but don't forget you can order it already via wwwpulpfictioncomics.com

New Site

2009-04-06T02:46:00.000-07:00

Hey all, The awesome folks at www.snarkunters.com (check 'em out) have very generously provided us with some space online to set up camp with a proper website for Dave. We're still constructing the full site, which will eventually (hopefully) include a shop to buy the book (when it's done) t-shirts and possibly the 'soundtrack' by Adelaide muso legend John McCall. For now you can have a peek at www.davezombiehunter.com and we'll let you know when the site is full functioning! Cheers Stewart Cook Tim Ide

FistFull Of Comics

2009-04-02T00:06:00.000-07:00

Hey all. Well it looks like the FistFull story will be appearing in issue 3, which is about 8 weeks away I believe. Exact date will be posted when I have confirmation from the awesome Owen who puts it all together.

Tim and I are taking a break from producing the full novel and putting together a special side story especially for FistFull Of Comics. I've just finished the second draft of the story and we're getting together this weekend to discuss the artwork.

I suspect it's going to be pretty spectacular (when is Tim's art not?). You should keep in mind that this short story will NOT be appearing in the graphic novel when it is printed. If you want to read it then you MUST purchase FistFull of Comics #3.

You will be able to and likely already can, order it online via Pulp Fiction Comics

Further information about FistFull Of Comics is available at their MySpace page.

I urge you all to get behind FistFull Of Comics (it's a great project) and also to show your support for Tim and myself, by buying the issue.

Preview art and more to come as it happens!! It's going to be a crazy ride to get it done!

Going Public!!

2009-03-25T04:26:00.000-07:00

Hey all, just got news that Dave: Zombie Hunter has been accepted to appear in local publication Fistfull Of Comics.

Check it out here

I'm still negotiating the length of the preview and the issue it will appear in... but I will let you all know when it's finalised and where you can get your hands on it!!

Happy times!!

Quiet...

2009-02-28T20:21:00.000-08:00

Dear everyone,

All may be quiet at the moment on the blogging front where the book is concerned. Rest assured Tim is still kicking ass (got 2 new pages through the other day) and we're still trucking ahead towards a tasty self published extravanganza. I will post some new pics soon, there's far too many that are far too awesome and I don't want to break the internet in half, so softly, softly.

In the mean time if any of you are desperate to read more of my ramblings prior to Dave's completion you can do so over at www.snarkhunters.com where I blog about all sorts of random things and incite rage over my punctuation skills (as far as I'm concerned that's what editors are for!) When Dave is done you WILL be able to purchase the book via the snarkhunters website (and possibly t-shirts!), so go and get familiar with the pursuit of happiness...

More soon!! Promise!!

Erect

I promise... I did not write those eye poking nipples into the script...

Film Still

2009-02-08T21:30:00.001-08:00

A still from the long languishing Dave film. There's talk of resurrection (how appropriate!)

So much mood

2009-02-02T17:09:00.001-08:00

I constantly marvel at Tim's ability to encapsulate a moment. This shot of our heroes leaving town (in a bit of a hurry) is exactly my minds eye while writing! Gold!

Like Nike Said

2009-01-20T23:16:00.000-08:00

Just do it.

FIRST Dave

2008-12-30T04:32:00.001-08:00

This is the first drawing of Dave ever drawn. WAY back in 1996 when I first got the idea for the story I sketched this out. Sure it's kinda shitty, but I was only 20... I can draw the great man a lot better these days (but not as well as Tim!)

Once upon a time the story started with Dave watching TV before his house was invaded by flesh craving zombies, which he promptly dispatched of.. and then the story kinda died. Something about tax dodges or something. I dunno.

The finished tale obviously makes a lot more sense (and has a lot more carnage) and features WAY sweeter drawings!

Like something from Destroyer...

2008-12-27T23:45:00.003-08:00

Welcome to the brand new Dave: Zombie Hunter blog. If you followed the progress on http://nighistheend.blogspot.com/ then you'll be familiar with the man behind the wheel. If not then have a quick read of the blurb on the right there (go on I'll wait).

Ok so now you're familiar may I present the first 'finished' panel by the extraordinary Tim Ide to see the 'daylight'. (For more of Tim's work visit www.theartoftimide.com)

At this stage Dave is looking set for an April/May release (more on that the closer we get, with details on how to get yourself a copy of the limited first print hardcover book)

Viva la Dave!
