| Problem |
[Feb. 1st, 2009|10:46 pm] |
My biggest problem right now is that I am averaging 3,600 emails a month in my in box. Which is about 160 a day. Most of that is NOT junk. I currently have 150 emails stacked up from Dec. 22nd to Jan. 15th that I haven't sorted. And had to launch 2 huge comic premieres this month. And now have to do 2 of the bigger shows in February.
This isn't so bad.. except that I keep on logging into facebook and see that I have more email there.
WILL IT EVER END! |

| Super-rare 1980 Volvo 262 Coupe for sale |
[Apr. 24th, 2008|08:57 pm] |
SOLD!
********
Super-rare 1980 Volvo 262 Coupe for sale. The famous italian volvo with the chop top and italian leather - nothing volvo has ever done since matches this for style. No need to pimp your ride, this ride is pre-pimped!
I love this car and I want to sell it to someone who wants to restoreit and give it the TLC that I just cannot afford to do.
This is a black, manual transmission and is one of 1,920 that were made in 1980. The body is in GREAT condition for a 28 year old car with just one rust spot on the back side behind rear passenger window, a scratch on one side and a missing trim piece the driver's side.
The leather interior is a sight to behold and has been well taken care of. The only wear is really on the driver's side seat which needs to be restored.
The engine is shot with a crack in the engine block that is slowly leaking oil, water pump needs to be replaced, etc. Still drives, but needs babying. The odometer reads 191k+ miles, though the engine was replaced at 85k. I have all the receipts for maintenance on this car going back to that original engine replacement. The driver's side door handle is shot and needs to be replaced. ($100) and while I have owned it the car has never had working A/C.
A great project for someone who has the time, unfortunately that is not me. I have seen low milage versions of this car go for 30k and ones with more wear and tear on the body that drive okay go for 5.5k -7k. I am asking 2k o.b.o. for this truly unique Volvo.

Please contact me asap at SOLD! |

| Entertainment Weekly gives LEFT ON MISSION a “B” - Hells Yeah! |
[Jan. 27th, 2008|05:03 pm] |
Most comics I like get a grade “C” or below at Entertainment Weekly. The reviewers there are hard to please, let me tell you. That said, I am excited to get a “B” from them. Here is an excerpt:
“FOR FANS OF Casino Royale... writer Mosher keeps matters zipping along at a furious pace, while the result is handsomely illustrated by Francesco Francavilla. Grade: B” - Entertainment Weekly |

| 3/4/73 meets 3/4/48 or Chip meets Ellroy |
[Dec. 29th, 2007|06:43 pm] |
Growing up I was always saddened that when it came to the "who has the same birthday" game, all I had to offer up was some lame country and western singers who I didn't admire. That said, you can imagine my shock when I found out* that my all time favorite living author, James Ellroy, shares the date of my birth.
Of course, he got there first. And he's a rat and I am an ox, but no matter. I spent today on a 4 hour tour of L.A. with ol' demon dog himself, James Ellroy.
Here's a pic of our momentous meeting:
Thanks goes out to Kim for getting me this great Christmas gift!
*I found this out by looking at Wikipedia one night. The funny thing about that is the pic of Ellroy on Wikipedia was taken by Roger Birnbaum, who I went to Cuba with in '97 on a humanitarian mission. Too weird. |

| LEFT ON MISSION “... reminiscent of Le Carré or even Fleming...” |
[Dec. 8th, 2007|09:53 pm] |
 DOUBLE O SECTION, the online source for all things espionage, had this to say about LEFT ON MISSION:
“...reminiscent of Le Carré or even Fleming... but the action is more in keeping with Bourne or Bond...”
Another humbling review. I am a huge fan of both Le Carré and Fleming, and have a particular affinity with Le Carré's work. I really tried to make LEFT ON MISSION a thinking man's action-packed thriller. I really am floored to be compared to such people like Le Carré. A friend once told me he thought LEFT ON MISSION was THE SPY WHO CAME IN FROM THE COLD for the War-on-Terror generation. Which I thought was a very cool observation. One my ego won't let me argue too much with! ;)
Of course, the War-on-Terror generation is one that is as familiar with graphic novels as the Cold War generation was with novels - so I thought that was quite apt. And of course, Francesco Francavilla did an incredible job of realizing this tale graphically - aided in a sublime way by colorist Martin Thomas. With this many talented people on board, I couldn't really lose with this project, could I?
More to come...
