Since the legendary Carl Barks died in 2000, you might wonder…
How did Daan Jippes and I collaborate with Barks on a new story, “Gyro’s Manager” that was published by IDW just a few weeks ago in Uncle Scrooge #17?
Well, it turns out that Carl left behind a few partially completed stories. And, I’m happy to say, I’ve gotten to complete several of them for my publisher Egmont. “Gyro’s Manager” is the latest to finally see print here in the U.S.
(By the way, many thanks to fan Paul Green for letting me know that the story was in US #17. If not for Paul, I would’ve missed it entirely!

I really enjoy meeting fans at shows. Here I am at the Prism Comics booth with Jennifer Burke Haines—who loves Last Kiss zombies gags with a shambling, walking dead passion!
This is the second year in a row that I’ve gone to Comic-Con International without a booth of my own. But 2016 was the year that I really found a home at Prism Comics. (Last year, I was just at Prism briefly each day to do signings.)
Overall, I think it worked out great.
Hoards of fans came to the giant Prism booth. More than I might’ve seen if I’d had a Last Kiss booth on my own. And, I have to say, it was a lot easier (and cheaper!) to display there as just one of many creators at the booth.
Plus, the Prism folks were incredibly nice and fun to hang with!

To find out what romance comics are really like, you could buy and read a big, mind-warping, pricey stack of ’em.
Or you could have someone like my pal Jacque Nodell read them for you and show you all the best stories, the great art and explain all the odd trends and quirks. Jacque does all that and a lot more brilliantly over on her blog, Sequential Crush.
And that’s not all.
Now Jacque is doing a book festooned with new, wonderful illustrations featuring one of the most unusual aspects of romance comics—dating advice columns.
Yes! Your romantic (and sex) life would be infinitely better if you could get your hands on this tome of dating wisdom. And guess what? You can. Just check out Jacque’s Kickstarter for more info!
