Telstar (w & a Paul Rivoche, Scott Morse, Dave Cooper, Gregory Benton,
Sam Hester, Ellen Lindner, Laurenn McCubbin, Chris Pitzer, Scott Mills,
Bernie Mireault, Mark Burrier, Paul Hornschemeier, Jay Geldhof, Joel Priddy,
Zack Soto, Jeffrey Brown, Max Estes, Nick Derington, Doug Fraser, Tom Gauld,
Simone Lia, Terry Marks, John Pham, Plankton Art Company, David Plunkert,
Vincent Stall, Rob Ullman). [From AdHouse: The first
anthology offered by AdHouse and dedicated to stories about robots and space.
Some noteworthy items about this book: Gregory Benton's submission will
be a total of 23 pages! The inside will be printed with a second special
blue metallic ink! There will be three portfolio sections that contain illustrations
from award-winning designers.] Old Book of the Week 3/9/05:
[This beautifully-produced anthology in black, white, and
metallic silver gathers an all-star line-up of indy and underground creators
to do stories about robots and/or space. Most of the stories decidedly do
not cater to Marvel/DC Top Ten sensibilities, but they show a range that
will bend your mind—if they don't just break it. If you're willing
to step outside the mainstream—well outside the mainstream—Project:
Telstar will reward you with very different approaches to some of comics'
most cherished tropes.]
Project:
Superior (w & a Nick Abadzis, Graham Annable, Tim Biskup, Jeffrey
Brown, J. Chris Campbell, Scott Campbell, John Cassaday, Ronnie del Carmen,
Victor Cayro, Martin Cendreda, Tony Consiglio, J. W. Cotter, Farel Dalrymple,
Mike Dawson, Doug Fraser, Dean Haspiel, Seonna Hong, Paul Hornschemeier,
James Jean, R. Kikuo Johnson, Nathan Jurevicius, John Kerschbaum, Daniel
Krall, Jason Lex, John Lucas, Jim Mahfood, Brian Maruca, Tara McPherson,

Priddy, Ragnar, Paul Rivoche, Jim Rugg, Jay Ryan, Fermin Solis, Zack Soto,
Jeremy Tankard, Jamie Tanner, Rob Ullman, Megan Whitmarsh, Brian Wood).
[From AdHouse: What could possibly be cooler than space & robots?
How about SUPER HEROES? Or should I say PROJECT: SUPERIOR. (Legal disclaimer:
Say "SUPERIOR" out loud, it kind of sounds like superhero!) Chris
Pitzer has decided to re-visit the "project" anthology and has
challenged some of his favorite indy comics and alternative artist creators
to work within this theme.] Book of the Week 3/9/05: [The
new Project volume takes on super-heroes, and while much of the book
is produced by the same outsiders as Project: Telstar, they are joined
by a few more conventional folks like John Cassaday, Scott Campbell, and
Brian Wood (that's right, a context exists in which Brian Wood qualifies
as "more conventional"). If it's anything like its predecessor
(and I'm sure it is), it will cast the super-hero genre in a wide variety
of whole new lights.]
Project: Romantic (w & a Big Time Attic, Randall Christopher, Joshua Cotter, Nick Craine, Brian Flynn, Doug Fraser, Jose Garibaldi, Debbie Huey, Damien Jay, Hope Larson, Mike Laughead, Adam McGovern/Paolo Leandri, Junko Mizuno, Scott Morse, Roger Peterson, Chris Pitzer, Joel Priddy, Paul Rivoche, Jim Rugg, Alberto Ruiz, Maris Wicks). [From AdHouse: The trilogy is complete. With Project: Romantic, AdHouse Books follows up their smash hits of Superior and Telstar with a book about love... and love stuff. Including work from new-comers and seasoned pros, Romantic is a cornucopia of technique, philosophy and love.] 10/06
