Oye Chingador De Cadaver! An 'El Bigote' Preview...

[locustsofdeath!]

I've lettered the main strip, and I have to say it was one of the most fun strips I've ever worked on. I absolutely loved it. By far the best work from either Locust or Chivo.

Cheers Bolt! That praise means a lot coming from you, thanks.

The El Bigote El Blogote is up and running: http://elbigotequillpower.blogspot.com/.

Lots more previews and reviews coming soon...

[locustsofdeath!]

El bigote gets a very positive review from Colin at Too Busy Thinking About My Comics: http://toobusythinkingboutcomics.blogspot.com/2011/12/places-to-be-things-to-enjoy-in-which.html.

Third review down and you'll find it. And scroll down a little further and you'll see that His Lordship's Turning Tiger also gets a great review!

I've posted a pair of fantastic pinups/future covers on the El Blogote:

The first is (SKD) Stewart Davies' portrait of Craneo, El Bigote's skull-faced nemesis:

And the second - of none other than El Bigote and his faithful ostrich - was done up by 2000AD art droid Grant Perkins:

Groovy.

An ostrich... are you hitting the Steve Gerber phase of your writing career?

An ostrich... are you hitting the Steve Gerber phase of your writing career? 

I wasn't aware I had a career!  . In defense of El B's ostrich, no one in the strips ride horses - El B rides his ostrich, other vaqueros ride llamas, peasants ride burros...I'm not sure why there are no horses in Undead Mexico...thanks for taking a look!

[Greg M.]

I'd beware of any man riding a llama, I'll tell you that.

[locustsofdeath!]

As would I. As would I...

I've put up a longer preview on the El Bigote facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/pages/El-Bigote/268079929911650.

In other news, El Chivo now has in his hands, 'El Bigote: La Noche De Los Muertoads' the second El Bigote adventure! In other other news, we're moving closer to releasing 'A Tequila-Drenched Reckoning'!

Hey folks - I saw the small press comics discussion and Tordel in particular mentioned covers.

Well, check out the WIP cover of El Bigote: http://elbigotequillpower.blogspot.com/ and tell me what you think (pencils by El Chivo and inks and tones by mygrimmbrother).

That's bloody beautiful - !

Lovely evocative colours there.
