In anticipation of the publication of Paul Tobin’s and Colleen Coover’s new original graphic novel Gingerbread Girl in May, the entire book will be available in serialized installments on Top Shelf 2.0, beginning Friday, January 21!

Q: If you weren’t an artist what would you want to do for work? A: A year ago I would have said go mad and live off the dole, because I can’t do anything else. But now I think I would be a writer, as I realize there’s a lot of storytelling I could do that I don’t get to do in my illustration work. Three 6″X9″ watercolor & ink sketches by Colleen Coover are on eBay to benefit Comix 4 Sight! . You can view and bid on all of the items that are currently up for auction, here! Comix 4 Sight is a benefit to help veteran comics writer John Ostrander pay for surgeries not covered by his health insurance, but necessary to prevent his losing his sight to glaucoma. Bidding ends September 14, 2009 (20:05:38 PDT), so get on it! Colleen Coover browses through an advance copy of Paul Guinan’s BOILERPLATE hardcover.
