Sa-Bom Jim

This weekend ( May 15-16 ), I will be appearing as a guest creator at SpringCon 2010.

The show is held at The Minnesota State Fairgrounds in The Grandstand.  The show runs from 10-5 both days, and is a great time!  Please come around and stop by my table, I’m always willing to meet and talk to my readers, as well as do a quick sketch or two!

Yes, it’s true!  You will be seeing new webstrips starting Sept. 4th!  I have finished publishing the regular issues (the last one being #10), and am concentrating on web content!

Hear ye, hear ye,

Hot Comics and Collectibles in New Hope, MN has joined the latest exclusive group to carry Sa-Bom JIm.  If you are having trouble finding those ever-elusive back-issues, here’s your oasis!

NEWS ITEM!

I have a small story published in the latest edition of “SuperFantastica Comix”.  My friend and conspirator, Daniel J. Olsen has released this ever-continuing anthology just in time for SPACE, the Small Press Alternative Comics Expo.  He and other Conspirators have endured the challenges of road tripping in order to make it to this event.

Check out Dan’s website: www.bewilderedkid.com to see more of his work.  You’ll be glad you did!

ANOTHER NEWS ITEM!

I have finished issue #7 and it will be published very soon.  Issue #8 has been written and is in production.  I am continuing these issues up to issue #10.  This will be the end of the published issues of Sa-Bom Jim, or as I call them, Volume One.

I will be moving to web-only material to begin Volume Two, these strips will be collected and published routinely to be available for purchase later through either the website, or at my table when I appear at different conventions.

The new material will be in page format, and not the four-panels as you have seen in this site.  The page format to me is more liberating and allows me more storytelling with these characters.

YET ANOTHER NEWS ITEM:

I will be at MicroCon this year, but not as a guest.  I will be bumming about the International Cartoonist Conspiracy members’ tables.

Plans are in the works for appearing at Hot Comics and Collectibles in New Hope for Free Comic Book Day!  I will verify my appearance there, and I hope to be there, signing copies of my book as well as having a small giveaway for those that attend the event on Saturday, May 2.

Hello once again,

I apologize for the excruciating long wiat, and I will do my best to keep up with new items.  The newest item,,,I had the honor of contributing a guest comic to my friend and fellow Conspirator, Ryan Dow.  Ryan writes and draws his strip “Introspective Shorts” as well as another strip that has concluded called “Weekends With Carl” which he is in the process of putting into a book.

Sa-Bom Jim makes a small cameo in the strip, but it addresses more of the splt in theories that I see in the martial arts.  Take a gander and post a comment.  While your there, please read up on Ryan’s strip.  It’s a great story!

Hello again,

Amado has done stellar work in the “Muscles And Fights” anthology series, as well as his own comics works such as “Heavee Underground”, a book that I suggest you all should check into, follow the link found at www.musclesandfights.com.

My thanks to Amado, and I look forward to seeing more of his fine work in the future.
