We are pleased to announce a horrific new collection of stories in the latest anthology, Hellbound 2, published by our own Roho at Riverbird Studios. Our ghostly crew of comics artists tackles the topic of horror, from the numinous to the cemeterial to the completely made up. This 104-page, handmade, hand-printed, hand-stamped, boxed, limited art edition (only 25 produced) will send you straight into the very bowels of purgatory itself. (View previews here.)
Are you fond of stories about dogs attacking vengeant grackles? How about undead calves? Here you will find tales of great suspense and possessed books. Hellbound 2 is a great gift for comics lovers and gore enthusiasts everywhere. Buy Now!
Hellbound, a BCR-affiliated anthology of horror stories, is now accepting submissions for its third anthology. Details can be found on its website. This year’s theme: darkness. Line up those bottles of india ink and get to work. The deadline for finished stories of June 15, 2012.
We’d like to give a big thanks to BCR member Franklin Einspruch for putting this incredibly useful calendar. It compiles nearly all the notable comic book shows for 2012. Most are in the U.S., but a few international shows also get a mention.
Read the original post on (the shockingly-still-available-URL) comiccons.org, a site that Franklin set up. If you have another show you’d like to add, he urges you to contact him directly.
Join us tonight for our weekly BCR meeting at 7:30pm in the Nelson Mandela Room of the Democracy Center (map) in Harvard Square. Tonight, BCR Presents: Projector Night! It will be an early festival of lights as pixels dance across a movie screen in accordance with new work by Hyun Supul and other BCR members.
If you can’t make it tonight and will perish of holiday independent comics deprivation if you can’t get your hands on one of our minis soon, rejoice! The Boston Comics Roundtable will be at the CCAE Holly Fair this Saturday and Sunday, December 10 and 11, in Harvard Square! Come by and see us!
December 7, 2011 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm
