Hi everybody!
You're probably wondering 1) where I've been, 2) what I've been doing, and 3) why I'm back.
1) Workin'
2) More workin'
3) I have prints
Yes, I've just returned from Megacon. Good times were had. Met some great new people.
...and was asked numorous times if the prints I was selling were available online.
Well, they weren't. However, I've just created a temporary page where they can be ordered from. So, all you folks who wanted a print or three but spent all your cash on a nifty Iron Man bust instead can now get your prints on. Just click here:
http://www.dashmartin.com/prints.htm
I'll better integrate that page when I redesign the whole website in the upcoming months. It's quite a bit over due after all.
Keep Right!
-Dash

Told ya I'd get the new order number up as soon as I got it. Check it out in the current issue of Previews and/or bug your comic shop owner to order it.
By the way, it's back to being a 4 issue mini series, so look out for the other 3 issues, too. |

Before I set off for WizardWorld: Chicago (Table 3237 B for the few of you who'll be there), I got this little tidbit about Outlaw Scorn: 3030AD. There's a 5 page preview up on not only Wizard Universe's website (front page, link under Comic Previews), but also up on Newsarama. There are probably a few other places, too...but I don't know about them. Go check em out and sneak a peak at the wicked cool alternate Billy Tan cover at the bottom...or click the thumbnail below.

UPDATE: Bloodstained Productions has decided to shift it's main focus as well as it's name in a very different direction...one in which ShadowFlame no longer fits in. However, don't fret...the book has already been picked up by another company and should be coming out this February. It's also going to be printed in a 4 issue mini series instead of one bulky graphic novel. So, good news all around. No no...don't thank me...your smiling faces are all the thanks I need, you nerdy little cherubs.
I'll get the order numbers up as soon as they're available.
=====================================================================

Well, I'm back from Megacon and caught up with my more deadly of the deadlines. Nitrogen #2 is done and should be at WizardWorld: LA. Now that I have a second to breathe, I figured I'd post up this Press Release for one of the titles I'm working on that hit the web a few weeks ago called Freedom 3.
MOHAWK, NY- February 21, 2006- TightLip Entertainment is set to publish the most politically explosive comic book ever produced, Freedom 3 #1. Publisher Rick Olney today released the comic book cover for Freedom 3. The image depicts the super hero Globe, a member of the United States Marine Corp's secret unit Freedom 3, punching Osama bin Laden in the face.
In fact, the cover of Freedom 3 pays homage to the most recognized Captain America cover. The Joe Simon and Jack Kirby Captain America #1 cover (March 1941, National Comics) shows the red, white and blue clad Captain America punching Adolf Hitler in the face.
The Freedom 3 cover drives home the parallel between World War II’s Adolf Hitler and al-Qaida’s Osama bin Laden of today. During this day, when times are just as turbulent as when 1940 led America into tough times; it becomes every American's responsibility to not lose sight of what makes freedom special, Rick Olney, the writer and publisher of Freedom 3 said.
Freedom 3 is about three United States Marines that are injected with a serum identified as the "Freedom" serum, enabling each Marine to take on characteristics and abilities allowing for various changes in their efforts to serve under the United States Constitution.
Globe (who is a creature of the earth), Eagle (a mute telepath with wings), and Anchor (has a fiery side that can burn and touch a person’s soul, and granite like viral touch that initially simply stalls people) makes up the Freedom 3 USMC special unit. “The recently awakened members of Freedom get handed an assignment no Marine would refuse; to hunt down and capture Osama bin Laden!” said Rick Olney.
Freedom 3 is penciled by Jim (One Shot Press, Trinity Comics) Taylor, didnt know if he was up to the task. “First off, I was a bit daunted, I mean, taking on a cover of legends in the field like Kirby and Simon? But I totally understood where Rick (Olney) was coming from as far as the intent of the cover, and the relevance of it in today's world experience.”
While on the other hand, Freedom 3 colorist; Dash (Savage Dragon: GodWar, SuperPatriot: War on Terror, Outlaw Scorn 3030 AD) Martin was totally pumped about the book. “It's about time someone did it. No sense in modern stories STILL revolving around Hitler when we have a current real world baddie.”
TightLip Entertainment Creative Director and Freedom 3 inker, Jeff (Faust, Night Vision, Leatherface, Jack the Lantern, Big Bang Comics, FemForce) Austin realized that, “Patriotic covers have a long tradition in comics.” TightLip Entertainment will continue the tradition in the new millennium. Jeff Austin is excited about what is on the cover, but he's also overjoyed about what isn’t on the cover. “No bar codes on covers,” he said. “Correcting 30 years of stupidity in the field... It was a mistake to slap a big bar code on the cover. It blunted the impact of the image.”
The three-issue hunt for Osama bin Laden starts in May, when the book will ship, with the story arc “What Price Freedom”. The 28-page full color comic book will retail for $2.95. Freedom 3 will be available for pre-orders for both consumers and retailers starting April 15, 2006, from TightLip Entertainment’s web site, TightLipEntertainment.com, which will launch on the same date.
TightLip Entertainment is an independent publisher committed to creating and offering the general reading public a variety of genres and styles in our books and online adventures.
We plan to include both new talent and longtime legends in the industry, as we seek to entertain.
