Ever wanted YOUR OWN VARIANT COVER ? – here’s your chance – DB VOL2 or RRRR

Drawing Blood – Spilled Ink and the Radically Rearranged Ronin Ragdolls hit comic shops with enormously positive feedback from stores and customers alike.  Many stores ran out of stock pretty much immediately and are already going back to Diamond Distribution to place more orders.  Diamond have placed two reorders for these AWESOME books. We received so many AWESOME reviews for the story the art and the quality of the print job – the paper is of the utmost quality.

We are please to be able to offer a complete set, comprising all (7) full color comics here for $28

We also have the Comics and Ponies variant by Chase Alexander in stock.  This print run was limited to just 500 copies and features a retro-styled, throw-back Konami arcade game parody. This variant is $20

Check them all out here or go back to your LCS and ask them to get them for you and you can add Drawing Blood to your monthly pull at your LCS too.

The Book will be in stores in May but you can be the cats PAWjamas now!!!

From the pages of Drawing Blood and the mind of Kevin Eastman and David Avallone comes the story-inside-the-story: the indie comic about three crime-fighting mutant cats which launched the Ragdolls franchise in 1992, and kicked off Ragdolls-mania!

These classically designed tees features the amazing Troy Littles cool beans! animated version of the Radically Rearranged Ronin Ragdolls and their PURRfect Ben Bishop designed logo on these super ComFURtable  tees.

When you next go into your local store to pick up your regular pull and see what else is new PLEASE ask your store owner to order Drawing Blood Comic and the Radically Rearranged Ronin Ragdolls from their latest PREVIEWS catalog Diamond Comic Distributors. Hey grab yourself a catalog too and read the interview with me about 35 years of the TMNT and returning to self publishing.

Each of these 7 books will be available on May 8 BUT your friendly store owner needs to order them this month. Please give them a gentle nudge and remind them that you want to see these on their shelves in May.

PLUS – if I know that a store has ordered these titles I will give them a plug on my social media letting all my fans know they can catch these titles at their store AND bonus, bonus too – each of these variant covers is available in any number – these are NOT pricey Retailer Variant copies – your store can buy whatever quantities thy want.

These books, written with David Avallone with an awesome array of cover variants by top talent including Troy Little, Freddie Williams II, Stan Sakai and of course Ben Bishop and myself will be available at your local comic shops.  BUT – you need to make sure your shop owners know they need to order these and that means we need your help in letting them know to do so.  These are available NOW in the most recent Diamond PREVIEWS catalog. Please share this with your shop owners and friends and ensure that our new venture in self publishing is as successful at the TMNT were in 1984.

Below is an excerpt from a massive 4 page interview they conducted with me recently – this also includes a link to the catalog order codes for each of the Drawing Blood books AND the Radically Rearranged Ronin Ragdolls.

Excerpt follows: One evening in 1984, Kevin Eastman and friend Peter Laird brainstormed the idea of a team of martial arts turtles after Eastman sketched a turtle wearing a mask and wielding martial arts weapons. Drawing upon the comics of the past and the 1984-present, they created the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles… their homage to everything they liked about comics, including the works of Jack Kirby and more specifically, Frank Miller’s Daredevil.

35 years later, the TMNT (as their mile-long moniker was shortened to) are a worldwide phenomenon… toys, cartoons, live-action movies. And for their co-creator, Kevin Eastman, its been a long, strange, and wonderful trip indeed. Drawing upon his long history in the comics biz, and his own personal experiences shepherding the TMNT from cult indie sensation to household names, Kevin has launched his own publishing company, Kevin Eastman Studios, to tell his story… sort of…

And have you heard the news? Kevin Eastman Studios will soon be self-publishing Drawing Blood as a monthly comic! COOL BEANS!!!!!!!!!

Starting in May, Drawing Blood #1 AND the RRRR special origin one-shot will both be hitting your Local Comic Store (LCS) and ComiXology. DB #1 will be a reprint of the first chapter of the previously Kickstarter-only trade paperback, with the rest of the chapters coming out every month, and — do the math — that means by September you will be seeing NEW chapters of Drawing Blood previously available NOWHERE. David Avallone is already writing Drawing Blood issue #5 AND additional Ragdolls material, too! Kevin and Ben and Troy are champing at the bit to start drawing the all-new issues!

All these comics will be coming with brand new covers, and super cool variants from amazing artists! (We’ll tell you who soon, promise! Hint: they’ve drawn turtles and rabbits…)

Tell your LCS owners to check out the March issue of PREVIEWS where they can order the new book line and enjoy a feature on KESI and Drawing Blood Comic. Plus an exclusive Eastman interview and behind the scenes pics straight from Kevin’s desk.

You can scoop up copies of the remaining inventory we have in the Drawing Blood Department at my store AND grab a groovy cool RRRR tee to show your support.

These are now just $14 and we are quickly running out of some sizes. This is the VERY FIRST Ragdolls tee we produced and these will not be available again.
