I feared I was too out of practice to ever finish a long-term project like the one I was about to undertake. </p><p>I was about to sink back into the Bottomless Chasm of Cartoonist Depression when I began rereading <i>Batman: Black and White</i>, the legendary anthology published by DC Comics in which some of the world’s greatest comic book writers and artists were given the opportunity to share their personal visions of Batman. </p><p>As anyone who has ever spent more than ten minutes in conversation with me knows, I’m kind of a huge Batman fan. Ever since I was a kid, he’s been my favorite superhero. There’s something about the character that has always appealed to me: a “street-level” vigilante dressed as a bat who risks his life every night, protecting innocents from depraved lunatics and remorseless killers. </p><p>I decided that writing and drawing an eight-page story in the <i>Batman: Black and White</i> format, like those that have inspired me over the years (including Matt Wagner’s <i>Heist</i> and Paul Pope’s <i>Broken Nose</i>, among many, many others) would not only be a creative challenge for me, but would also allow me to get back into the groove of drawing comics before working on my personal projects. </p><p>The story I chose to tell was inspired by the terrible mass shooting that took place in Tucson, Arizona on January 8, 2011, where the perpetrator wounded sixteen people, including U.S. Representative <b>Gabrielle Giffords</b>, and took the lives of six innocent people: <b>Christina-Taylor Green, Dorothy Morris, John Roll, Phyllis Schneck, Dorwan Stoddard, </b>and <b>Gabriel Zimmerman.</b></p><p>The shooting occurred 100 yards from where my little sister worked, and a few miles from my childhood home. I remember hearing about the incident on French television, and the feeling of panic when I couldn’t reach my family and friends by telephone, since the lines were saturated.</p><p>Although I didn’t know any of the victims personally, the shooting had a profound impact on me. It has been lurking in a corner of my head ever since, and is the inspiration behind <i>The Lotus and The Demon</i>.</p><p>Since then, countless other atrocities have been committed, the most recent ones being the horrific shootings in Colorado and Georgia. The opening scene of the story you are about to read depicts—and condemns—a mass shooting in Gotham’s Chinatown, and coincidentally echoes these tragic murders. As a result, I am admittedly hesitant to even publish this. </p><p>I’m a mediocre activist, and an even worse preacher, so I’ll refrain from telling you how I feel about mass shootings and hate crimes. <i>The Lotus and the Demon</i> will tell you everything you need to know about that. I will say, however, that my heart goes out to the families and loved ones of the victims of this and all other shootings, and I hope that these atrocities will cease. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FSiEfJpXf0w/YFm6z7RT3SI/AAAAAAAAD94/KPR9esX4FIIXC_zCDFVk88P0rXSesWLagCLcBGAsYHQ/s1000/Batman_BW_teaser01.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="582" data-original-width="1000" height="233" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FSiEfJpXf0w/YFm6z7RT3SI/AAAAAAAAD94/KPR9esX4FIIXC_zCDFVk88P0rXSesWLagCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h233/Batman_BW_teaser01.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p></p><p><a href="https://grandpapier.org/dan-christensen/batman-the-lotus-and-the-demon" target="_blank">The Lotus and the Demon</a> is now available on the excellent French website <a href="https://grandpapier.org/dan-christensen/" target="_blank">Grandpapier.org</a>.</p><p>Since Batman is ©copyright DC Comics (and DC doesn’t stand for Dan Christensen) I am neither asking nor hoping to receive any money for this story.

Thanks to this residency, I was able to develop and refine the script, define the final format of the project, and finalize the characters.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eIRqk9Yq-gY/YDOL05yAjdI/AAAAAAAAD8A/aX_d_7JxlIYtJ5SzV-TJQNBzdtlbk0oQACLcBGAsYHQ/s1024/gunnarshus2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="837" data-original-width="1024" height="328" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eIRqk9Yq-gY/YDOL05yAjdI/AAAAAAAAD8A/aX_d_7JxlIYtJ5SzV-TJQNBzdtlbk0oQACLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h328/gunnarshus2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div>I also had the pleasure of teaching a week-long workshop on the theme of character creation at the Visual Arts School of Reykjavik, (<a href="https://myndlistaskolinn.is/english" target="_blank">Myndlistaskólinn í Reykjavík</a>). Each student produced detailed character sheets (descriptions, preparatory sketches, final drawings) of his or her character, as well as two short, four-panel comic strips featuring an important aspect of the character's personality. The workshop allowed me to discuss different drawing techniques with the students, as well as different techniques of comic book narration. Every country, every culture has a unique way of telling visual stories, a unique voice of its own, and Iceland is no exception; I sometimes felt like I was learning as much as I was teaching.</div></div><div><br /></div><div>I had the opportunity of exhibiting a series of my original comic book pages at the Alliance Française, where I also taught two drawing workshops for children aged 11 to 15, in addition to giving two conferences (on Zoom) for Icelandic students taking French lessons. These exchanges were particularly meaningful for me, because it was an essay contest sponsored by the Alliance Française in 1995 that allowed me to come study comics in France, to deepen my knowledge of the French language, and to immerse myself in this culture that I love so much.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2EDOgwPjtZw/YDOO3VDpktI/AAAAAAAAD8Y/zOD6rkmfgH4Ujjr4QZDRuM4Q_Lz2TWwygCLcBGAsYHQ/s2000/Vignette%2Bpaysage.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1414" data-original-width="2000" height="283" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2EDOgwPjtZw/YDOO3VDpktI/AAAAAAAAD8Y/zOD6rkmfgH4Ujjr4QZDRuM4Q_Lz2TWwygCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h283/Vignette%2Bpaysage.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><div><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJrarHJjpcQ&feature=youtu.be" target="_blank">Here</a> is a link to the guided tour of the exhibition at the Alliance Française:</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-O53eo55mfl4/YDOZ4ievIAI/AAAAAAAAD8k/ctAnqXxVApwNRqcsKHP4Z4WSEfFGaiISgCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMG_20201107_131855.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1859" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-O53eo55mfl4/YDOZ4ievIAI/AAAAAAAAD8k/ctAnqXxVApwNRqcsKHP4Z4WSEfFGaiISgCLcBGAsYHQ/w363-h400/IMG_20201107_131855.jpg" width="363" /></a></div><br /><div>I was honored to be interviewed for the <a href="https://www.mbl.is/frettir/" target="_blank">Morgunbladid</a>, Reykjavik's morning newspaper, during my residency. <a href="https://www.mbl.is/folk/frettir/2020/11/07/fra_sjonarhorni_skurksins/?fbclid=IwAR17lcrTqyZkUGErkHLlgcmGu-E_dD0S58YRxWP5QxoOh-Y5NUd_h4ToOeg" target="_blank">Here</a> is a link to the article, which appeared on November 7:</div><div><br /></div><div>Due to the current health crisis, the tourism industry in Iceland has pretty much come to a complete standstill; as a result, I wasn't able to go sightseeing and discover the country's wonderful, unique landscapes.

<br />
For the past year or so (ever since I finished drawing <a href="https://dcartoons.bigcartel.com/product/archer-coe-the-way-to-dusty-death-archer-coe-vol-2" target="_blank">Archer Coe and the Way to Dusty Death</a>, in fact), and despite having tons of ideas for projects and stories, I've had a particularly difficult time getting back to drawing comics. I felt that maybe, just maybe, this year's Inktober might be what I needed to get me motivated to draw comics again.<br />
<br />
And it was.<br />
<br />
I've never followed the official Inktober prompt list, and I wasn't in the mood to draw a different comic book character every day (as I had done in my previous Inktobers), so this year, I opted to tell a story. I'd been itching to draw a daily newspaper strip for a long time, and thought that this might be my chance to practice telling a story in that format. I had a few false starts, but eventually came up with the idea of an action/adventure story starring <b>Black Jack</b>, one of the characters from my PARANORMAL comic book trilogy.<br />
<br />
As I drew the comic, I tried not to think ahead about what was going to happen next, and just let the story unfold, from panel to panel, before my eyes. It was both a challenging and exciting experience. Thanks to everyone who encouraged me and sent along good vibes and kind words, I managed to finish a drawing every day (even though I ended up posting one or two of them a couple of hours after the daily deadline, because sometimes, there just aren't enough hours in a day).<br />

I was recently accepted to be a contributing cartoonist on the French webcomics site <a href="https://grandpapier.org/" target="_blank">GrandPapier</a>, and have posted the entire 31-page story over there if you want to go check it out, (instead of reading it by scrolling up and down my Instagram page).</div>

I hope you enjoy reading <a href="https://grandpapier.org/dan-christensen/the-delivery-inktober-2019" target="_blank"><b>The Delivery</b></a> as much as I did drawing it! Here's hoping I'll have some more comic book news to report soon. Stay tuned :)</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Back in 2016, one of my favorite artists, <a href="https://www.danielkrall.com/" target="_blank">Daniel Krall </a>(<i><b>One Plus One, House of Night, Doom Cannon</b></i>) , posted two incredible drawings of characters from <a href="https://joeabercrombie.com/books/" target="_blank">Joe Abercrombie</a> 's <b><i>THE FIRST LAW </i></b>trilogy, <a href="https://danielkrall.tumblr.com/post/147662207023/been-re-listening-to-the-fantastic-audio-versions" target="_blank">Ferro Maljinn</a> and <a href="https://danielkrall.tumblr.com/post/147662796503/another-character-sketch-from-joe-abercrombies" target="_blank">Logen Ninefingers</a>. I was so intrigued (to say the least), that I went out and bought the books the very next day.<br />
<b style="font-style: italic;">The Blade Itself</b>,<b style="font-style: italic;"> Before They Are Hanged</b>,<b style="font-style: italic;"> </b>and<b style="font-style: italic;"> Last Argument of Kings </b>were the first sword & sorcery novels I'd read in over twenty years, and they reconciled me with a genre I'd all but turned my back on, in spite of my love for rpgs (MERP, D&D) and a handful of fantasy novels (Michael Moorcock's <i><b>Elric</b></i>, David Eddings' <i><b>The Belgariad</b></i>, Weiss & Hickman's <i><b>Dragonlance Saga</b></i>, etc... sorry, I haven't read George Martin's <i><b>A Song of Ice and Fire</b></i> yet, and I was never a Tolkien fan. Once the only character I cared about died at the end of <i><b>Fellowship of the Ring</b></i>, I kinda lost interest in LoTR).<br />
I was immediately captivated by Mr. Abercrombie's characters, universe, and unique writing style, and I promised Dan I would try drawing some of my favorite characters. Three years later, I finally got around to keeping my promise. A couple of weeks ago I posted some daily drawings on my Instagram and Facebook pages, to get me back into the swing of things for Inktober (if I end up deciding to throw my hat in this year).<br />

I have to admit that I went through a couple of rough spots and had a case (or two) of cartoonist's block, but thanks to encouragement and kind words from friends and followers, I was able to finish a drawing a day up until the end.<br />

Ever since I recovered publishing rights to <b>Paranormal</b> back in 2016, I've been trying to decide what to do with it. I don't know whether I should pitch the trilogy to established publishers, self-publish it, launch a Kickstarter campaign...there are a lot of possibilities these days.</div>
<br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm still trying to figure it all out, but one thing is certain: I've missed drawing Ogre, Rat Face, and the rest of the <b>Paranormal</b> cast, telling their stories, and creating new ones with characters I introduced in the original trilogy.</div>

Also, as anyone following me on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/dcartoons0213" target="_blank">Instagram</a> has probably noticed, I'm hard at work on some new <b><i>Paranormal</i></b>-related<b> </b>projects. Feel free to head over there to check out some more sketches, but in the meantime, here are a few to give you an idea of what I've been up to since I finished <b><i>Archer Coe </i></b>vol.2 a couple of months ago.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
That pretty much sums it up. I turned in the final pages of <i>Archer Coe & The Way To Dusty Death</i> last Monday night, and am just now beginning to realize that the book is finally finished.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cnG9Su7PUqo/Wpff8feR2yI/AAAAAAAADmo/Pehd7riW1RAU8t-zz1pZMlgpKscOGA2RQCLcBGAs/s1600/ac2_10jfinal.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="950" data-original-width="1117" height="272" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cnG9Su7PUqo/Wpff8feR2yI/AAAAAAAADmo/Pehd7riW1RAU8t-zz1pZMlgpKscOGA2RQCLcBGAs/s320/ac2_10jfinal.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This was the face I would make every time I'd look at a calendar and count the number of pages I still needed to finish in order to meet my deadline. I'm not kidding. I'm not sure how, but I managed to pencil and ink eighteen pages in a little over a month, then scan, clean, & tone those eighteen pages (as well as twenty more pages I'd scanned earlier), in exactly three weeks, which is an all-time record for me; one I have no intention of trying to beat anytime soon. If you enjoyed the first volume, <i>Archer Coe & The Thousand Natural Shocks</i>, I'm pretty sure you will like <i>The Way To Dusty Death</i> as well. It's an eerie ghost story that was immensely fun to draw, and Jamie's script was top-notch, as always.</div>

I don’t update much, I know. I almost get the feeling there’s a weird echo around here, like when you walk into an abandoned building and say “is anyone there?”<br />
<br />
I went through all the links in the sidebar the other day, and discovered that a lot of them were obsolete or no longer worked, so I did some necessary cleaning. It made me kind of nostalgic, to tell you the truth. At one point, I even considered deleting the blog, since I’m not even sure anyone even comes around here, or if comic book artists even keep blogs anymore, now that Instagram and Tumblr are so popular, and allow us to show our work to so many people on the internet.<br />
<br />
For now, I’ve decided to keep the blog up and running, but we’ll see what the future brings. In the meantime, feel free to track me down and follow me on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/dcartoons0213/">Instagram</a> and/or <a href="https://twitter.com/DanC0213">Twitter</a>, as I post art there a lot more often than I do here. I also have a Facebook page, but only use it to keep in touch with friends (people I actually know) or artists and colleagues whose work I admire, so please don't feel offended if you send me a friend request and I never reply. It's not personal, believe me.<br />
<br />
Anyway, 2017 was far from being the easiest year of my entire life. My family situation changed. I moved. Some terrible things happened. Some wonderful things happened. I worked on some amazing new translation projects (for <a href="http://www.ankama-editions.com/fr">Ankama Editions</a>, in particular), attended the <a href="http://www.maltacomic-con.com/">Malta Comic Con</a>, accomplished some things I never thought I was capable of, didn't sleep much, and despite all that, managed to finish several chapters of...<br />
<br />
<b><i>Archer Coe & The Way To Dusty Death</i></b><br />
<br />
I’ve nearly finished <i>Archer Coe</i> vol.2 (only 18 pages left! Woo hoo!), and the book is scheduled for release by Oni Press in 2018. I’m working hard to meet my deadline, and hope to finish the art before the end of January.<br />

<i><b>Paranormal </b></i><br />
<br />
I'm afraid <i>Paranormal </i>is on the back burner for now, but as soon as I’ve finished <i>Archer Coe</i>, I’ll be getting back to work on it as soon as I can.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, here are some sneak peeks of what’s to come, once I get time to work on all the stories I have for the <i>Paranormal</i> “universe” (daily comic strips, that espionage story I keep talking about, origin stories for Rat Face, Black Jack, and Dr. Eclipse, among other stories, including the return of the Ogre, and a short one-shot featuring The Snake).<br />

The concept is simple: 31 days, 31 ink drawings, posted on Facebook and Twitter with the hashtags #inktober and #inktober2016. It wasn't easy, but thanks to kind words, comments, and encouragement from friends on social media, I pulled it off. Thanks to everyone who gave me a push when I needed it. Inktober was a lot tougher than it sounds.<br />

He asked some local artists to contribute an original drawing for a silent auction, with all proceeds going to the Primavera Foundation. This year's theme was "Arch Enemies", so I dediced to draw the final battle between Matt Wagner's <a href="http://dcdrawings.blogspot.fr/2009/07/g-is-for-grendel.html">Grendel</a> and his nemesis, <i>Argent the Wolf</i>.<br />

<b>RIPOSTE</b>:<br />
<b>Riposte</b> was released in France in late January, and I’m pleased to announce that as of this writing, the distributor AND publisher have both sold out of the 1st printing. The book has received excellent reviews, which can be read here: (if you read French, that is)<br />

Chris Thompson, from London’s Orbital Comics, was kind enough to interview me about <b>Riposte</b> and my other projects last January during the Angoulême comic book festival. The podcast can be found <a href="http://popculturehound.net/oic-episode-182-jakob-hinrichs-christensen-at-angouleme/">here</a>: (my interview starts around 38:00)<br />
<br />
<b>Riposte</b> will be going back to the printers soon, and the new edition is scheduled for release in late summer/early fall, as I understand it. Until then, you can still find the book at French comic shops, and even on the internet.<br />
<br />
The book has been warmly received by local French bookstores, and I’ve had the opportunity of doing some signings at some great shops, including <b>Gréfine</b> (La Rochelle), <b>BD FLASH </b>(Chartres), and <b>Bulles en Cavale</b> (Rochefort), among others. I don’t have any more signings scheduled until Fall, when the French comic book convention season starts (St. Malo, Creil, Rochefort, Angoulême, etc.) so in the meantime, I’ll be hard at work on…<br />

<b>RIPOSTE</b>: In just a little over one week from now, <i><b>Riposte </b></i>will be available for purchase in finer comic book shops and bookstores everywhere (well, especially in France and Belgium). From what I’ve seen so far, the book looks fantastic, and I’m really looking forward to signing copies at the FIBD (Festival International de la Bande Dessinée) in Angoulême from Friday, January 29th, through Sunday, January 31st. If you happen to be in the neighborhood, please feel free to stop by the <a href="http://www.scutella.fr/" target="_blank">Scutella éditions</a> booth and say hello. Hope to see you there! (but if you can’t make it to the festival, I’ll be announcing other dates soon)<br />

<b>ARCHER COE & THE WAY TO DUSTY DEATH</b>: I'm back to work on <i><b>Archer Coe</b></i> vol.2! I just finished Chapter 3 today, and will be starting Chapter 4 soon. In order to finish <i><b>Riposte</b></i> on time, I had to temporarily put <i><b>Archer</b></i> on the back-burner, and I’m thrilled to be working full-time on the book once again (I kinda missed my pal Archer). Jamie S. Rich’s story is amazing (Not to mention challenging: he asked me to draw HORSES. As in, more than one. AND THEY ARE ALL RUNNING.), and it’s been a lot of fun working on this second book. I’ll post more teaser images as I make progress over the next few months. I am hoping to finish <i><b>The Way To Dusty Death</b></i> by early December of this year, so feel free to stop by often for updates…<br />

<br />
<b>DUELS</b>: The long out-of-print book of short stories I wrote and drew for French publisher Treize étrange back in 2000, <i><b>Duels</b></i>, is now back in print. I had copies published through the online printing platform <a href="http://www.blurb.com/" target="_blank">BLURB</a>, and it looks pretty good. If you are interested in purchasing a copy (in French), feel free to click <a href="http://www.blurb.fr/b/6924751-duels" target="_blank">HERE</a><br />

<br />
<b>PARANORMAL</b>: I am sad to say that my <i><b>Paranormal </b></i>trilogy, which was supposed to be published last year by Evileye Books, is currently on standby. Due to the demands of today’s ever-changing book publishing industry, Evileye Books has undergone some huge changes over the past year, and they have decided to concentrate their publishing efforts exclusively on supernatural/horror prose fiction. So, long story short, <i><b>Paranormal</b></i> didn’t make the cut, and Evileye has graciously returned publication rights to me. I’m not quite sure what to do with the book right now, but I’ll let you know once I’ve figured it out. Since <i><b>Duels</b></i> turned out so well, I may consider self-publishing the trilogy, as well as future stories, through BLURB as well. Unless, of course, some publisher kicks down my door and begs to publish it before I do.<br />
<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>OTHER STUFF</b>: As if the above projects weren’t already keeping me busy, I am currently working on a series of translations for French publisher ANKAMA (<i style="font-weight: bold;">The Grocery</i>, <i style="font-weight: bold;">FREAKS’squeele</i>), and I recently finished English-language translations for two of their animated feature films, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nnJUXdSqlw&annotation_id=565dd08f-0000-2ca9-9ad0-001a114f0afc&src_vid=WngjMUpBalQ&feature=iv" target="_blank">DOFUS Book 1: The Return of Julith</a>, and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WngjMUpBalQ" target="_blank">MUTAFUKAZ</a>. I hope they hit an English-speaking movie theatre near you soon. They were a lot of fun to work on.<br />
<br />
In other news, I'm still (slowly but surely) organizing my ideas for an espionage-themed comic book mini-series, as well as a daily online comic strip, both of which I am hoping to pitch to American publishers once I've finished work on <i><b>Archer Coe</b></i> vol.2. I kinda have a lot on my plate, but I’d rather have too much to do than not enough.<br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by, and I look forward to meeting some of you at future comic book conventions or bookstore signings.

Well, after nearly seven years, <a href="http://dcdrawings.blogspot.fr/2011/06/good-news-2.html" target="_blank"><i><b>Riposte</b></i></a> is finally finished.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qzUSWGTpfPY/VlxHKNu7xdI/AAAAAAAADXU/_XoA6ksdJOA/s1600/Rp114.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="124" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qzUSWGTpfPY/VlxHKNu7xdI/AAAAAAAADXU/_XoA6ksdJOA/s320/Rp114.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
The book is scheduled for a January 2016 release, just in time for the <a href="http://www.bdangouleme.com/" target="_blank"><i><b>Festival International de la Bande Dessinée</b></i></a> in Angoulême. If you are a fan of <i>film noir</i> and fencing, this is the book for you, and I sincerely hope you’ll enjoy it.<br />
<br />
I have some stuff to announce, but I’ll do that later, when my head is a bit clearer. For now, I’m just barely realizing that I won’t be drawing these characters anymore, nor will I be telling their story ever again… and to tell you the truth, it’s making me kind of nostalgic. I’m relieved and a little sad at the same time; it’s kinda strange. Anyway… no time to get all teary-eyed, I have other projects that I need to get back to (<i><b>Archer Coe vol.2</b></i>, which I’ve had to put on hold for the past few months in order to finish <i><b>Riposte</b></i> on time, as well as some graphic novels to translate for Ankama, among others…)<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy New Year, everyone!</div>
<br />
2014 was a very busy year for me, and I broke my all-time record of Blog Neglect by only posting new drawings 3 times last year. But I had good reasons for it. A lot of stuff happened.<br />
<br />
For example,<i> <a href="https://oni-press.myshopify.com/products/the-mind-s-arrow-archer-coe-and-the-thousand-natural-shocks" target="_blank"><b>Archer Coe & the Thousand Natural Shocks</b></a> </i>(Oni Press)<i> </i>hit stores in July, and I began work on volume two in early December, right after finishing a series of interesting and challenging translation assignments for Ankama éditions.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JLxpmrPT65g/VLwMbRNWgrI/AAAAAAAADOk/BbnjmDlUxRo/s1600/PC080261.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JLxpmrPT65g/VLwMbRNWgrI/AAAAAAAADOk/BbnjmDlUxRo/s1600/PC080261.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
I was supposed to finish <a href="http://www.scutella.fr/livre-riposte-1-0-33.html" style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">Riposte</a> (Scutella éditions) before the year was out, but... well... I didn't. Believe it or not, drawing two graphic novels at the same time, teaching weekly comic-book classes, and translating a series of graphic novels is kind of time-consuming. I still have two chapters to go on <i><b>Riposte</b></i>, and I hope to have it completely finished (drawn & toned) before summer. I really am working as fast as I can, so please be patient. :)<br />
<br />
The Kindle version of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Paranormal-Ogre-Dan-Christensen-ebook/dp/B00OFLKZFK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1420477224&sr=8-1&keywords=paranormal+the+ogre" target="_blank"><i><b>Paranormal vol.1: The Ogre</b></i></a> (Evileye Books) was released last October, just in time for Halloween, and the paper version will hopefully be released sometime this year.<br />
<br />
And right before the year ended, I drew a picture of Marcus Lopez, my favorite character from the very, very cool <i><b>Deadly Class</b></i> (Image Comics) series by Rick Remender and Wes Craig, for the February 7th charity auction to be held by my friend Charlie Harris, the owner of Charlie's Comic Books in Tucson, Arizona.<br />
<br />

<br />
So there ya go. I hope you all had a happy, safe holiday season. Stay tuned, with any luck I'll be posting more often this year! As always, thanks for stopping by and supporting my work. It's much appreciated.Dan Chttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15242996690225060775noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1410507185663571117.post-44049018052407377792014-07-02T10:37:00.001+02:002014-07-02T10:38:50.861+02:00The Big Day<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><b>Archer Coe & The Thousand Natural Shocks</b></i> is now available in finer comic book shops & bookstores all over the world. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did drawing it.</div>

But there’s a lot of cool stuff coming up soon, so I thought I’d take a minute to do a little (okay, a big) update:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-emm8fblTgnk/U0AkQZ49btI/AAAAAAAADK0/QaApFDaSdHA/s1600/ac_teaserFINAL.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-emm8fblTgnk/U0AkQZ49btI/AAAAAAAADK0/QaApFDaSdHA/s1600/ac_teaserFINAL.gif" height="400" width="332" /></a></div>
<br />
The first chapter of <b style="font-style: italic;">Archer Coe, the Mind’s Arrow & the Thousand Natural Shocks</b>, the book I created with writer <a href="http://confessions123.com/">Jamie S. Rich</a>, is going to be released digitally on <a href="https://www.comixology.com/">Comixology</a> on Tuesday, April 8th, and the remaining thirteen chapters will be available for download twice a week (on Tuesdays and Thursdays) until May 22!<br />
<br />
The softcover edition of <b><i>Archer Coe</i></b> is scheduled for release on June 18, and <a href="http://www.onipress.com/">Oni Press</a> has prepared a handy little order form that you can print, fill out, and give to your local comic book shop. The deadline for pre-orders is coming up fast, (May 26, 2014) so if you're interested in the book, you might want to hurry :) !<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
As you may have seen if you come around here much, a few months ago I contributed a Black Panther drawing to a charity auction event held by my friend Charlie Harris, the owner of <a href="http://www.charliescomics.com/events/">Charlie’s Comic Books</a> in Tucson, Arizona. He's hosting another event on May 3, 2014 for <b>Free Comic Book Day</b>, and this time around I drew the Ra’s al Ghul /Batman clan. Here are the black & white and colored versions :<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HfjpribLuQQ/U0Abdr0BAvI/AAAAAAAADJM/P_2wrU7SX5M/s1600/Ra'sAlGhul_family_nb.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HfjpribLuQQ/U0Abdr0BAvI/AAAAAAAADJM/P_2wrU7SX5M/s1600/Ra'sAlGhul_family_nb.gif" height="282" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BEOmSBegLSs/U0AbhJHkYrI/AAAAAAAADJU/LY7NKN2Ixmw/s1600/Ra'sAlGhul_family.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BEOmSBegLSs/U0AbhJHkYrI/AAAAAAAADJU/LY7NKN2Ixmw/s1600/Ra'sAlGhul_family.gif" height="282" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
If you’re interested in purchasing the original drawing (and if you’re in Tucson on May 3rd), feel free to get in touch with Charlie or stop by the store! The winning bidder also gets a free hi-res color copy of the drawing, and all proceeds from the auctions go to help out the Tucson chapter of the Salvation Army, who provides help and support to the needy.<br />
<br />
The digital version of <i><b>Paranormal </b></i>vol.1 will also be released soon, and <a href="http://evileyebooks.com/">Evileye Books</a> has already begun a really cool teaser/promo campaign on their <a href="https://www.facebook.com/EvileyeBooks">Facebook</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/EvileyeBooks">Twitter</a> pages. Here are the first three images:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So go be friends with <b>Evileye</b> <b>Books</b> (or follow them), because subscribers to Insider@EvileyeBooks.com can sign up to receive a 17-page digital preview of the book, which will be released in May! More info can be found on the publisher's FB/Twitter pages.<br />
<br />
Right now I’m hard at work on my noir/fencing story, <i><b>Riposte</b></i>, and am making good progress. The book is scheduled for release (in France) in January 2015, and I’m doing my best to make that happen.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-twR2-fnrvqg/U0AcU_H87ZI/AAAAAAAADJk/J8Ewe43V0kI/s1600/Rp.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-twR2-fnrvqg/U0AcU_H87ZI/AAAAAAAADJk/J8Ewe43V0kI/s1600/Rp.gif" height="400" width="286" /></a></div>
<span id="goog_89619943"></span><span id="goog_89619944"></span><br />
I may also have some good news soon in regards to an English version, too, so keep your fingers crossed and stay tuned!<br />
<br />
The minute I finish <i><b>Riposte</b></i>, I’ll be getting started on <i><b>Archer Coe, the Mind’s Arrow</b></i> volume 2. I have a big red folder with the script inside it next to my drawing table, and every time I sit down to work, I swear I can hear it saying, "<b>Draaaaaawwwww meeeeee</b>!" I dunno if I'm hearing things or not, but the sooner I get started, the better. It’s starting to get a little creepy around here.<br />
<br />
And let’s not forget: <i><b>RUN</b></i>, my wordless spy story that appeared in volume 5 of <a href="http://www.acesweekly.co.uk/home">Aces Weekly</a> last June is still available.<br />
<span id="goog_436645235"></span><span id="goog_436645236"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
If you subscribe to volume 5, drop me an e-mail and let me know what name you used to create your subscription account. As soon as I get confirmation from <b>Aces</b>, I’ll be happy to send you an original drawing of one of the characters from <i><b>RUN</b></i> on an official <b>Aces Weekly</b> sketchcard, free of charge. I’ll even spring for postage.<br />
<br />
Well, that’s all for now. Thanks for stopping by !

I’m thrilled to announce that the book will be published in June (and solicited in the February issue of Previews--tell your favorite comic shop!).<br />

I’m also making steady progress on my <b><i>Riposte</i></b> graphic novel,(<a href="http://www.scutella.fr/">Scutella éditions</a>) and will be beginning work on the second volume of <b><i>Archer Coe</i></b> before the year is out, so I’m definitely staying busy.
