Uwaaaaahh! The incredible Andy Ristaino, creator of The Babysitter, Life of a Fetus and many other excellent and unbelievably detailed comics, was awesome enough to draw a guest art piece which will appear in King of RPGs v.1!
Andy is an excellent artist who I’ve known since the late ’90s. His theremin/synthesizer/drums band shygrape, with Liz Walsh and others, is also really good, and he is currently working on a story which will appear in the next issue of Image’s Popgun anthology, among a million other things in his workaholic schedule. I owe him my right arm… at least, a few fingers. Please check out his gorgeous King of RPGs/Frank Frazetta tribute which will appear in full black-and-white on delicious real paper in the final graphic novel version.

In about 8 hours, I’ll be flying on a plane to Toronto for the Toronto Comic Arts Festival! I always love this awesome convention (and a chance to visit The Beguiling). When not scripting volume 2 on my laptop, I (Jason) will be exhibiting on the floor, selling King of RPGs minis and my assorted fantasy, horror and emo comics.
Please come by and tell me about your role-playing characters! I’ll also be doing two panels on Saturday morning — “The Secret History of Manga” from 10:30 to 11:30 in TD Gallery, and a great group panel, “Manga Around the World” from 11:30 to 12:30 at the same spot, with Bryan Lee O’Malley, Ryan Sands, Becky Cloonan, Antoine Dode, Erik Ko of Udon Entertainment, and Deb Aoki. And quite possibly some other people I missed. Meanwhile, Victor will be in San Francisco drawing awesome things.
