This week Ron launches trekkercomic.com, where he will begin weekly uploads of all the existing stories of his classic sci-fi bounty hunter Mercy St. Clair, “Trekker”. Once all the existing stories are posted, Ron will continue with installments of all-new adventures of the character. Ron is excited to return to work on his best-remembered character and to bring her unfolding story back to life. He wants long-time fans of Trekker to know that the site also contains some extra features for them as well, including a gallery of rarely or never-before seen images, and a “Spoiler” page where he’ll be posting work-in-progress pages from the upcoming stories. Check it out!

Join Comic-Con special guests (and Eisner Award presenters) Paul Guinan and Anina Bennett with moderator (and Eisner Award nominee) Shannon Wheeler for a multimedia panel spotlighting the creative couple’s past and future work. Paul and Anina will perform excerpts from their book Boilerplate, which has been optioned by J. J. Abrams; talk about their comic book careers and becoming accidental apostles of steampunk; and give a sneak peek at their upcoming book Frank Reade: Adventures in the Age of Invention.

Blair Butler, host of Attack of the Show’s segment Fresh Ink, gives a nice shout out to Periscope’s David Hahn and his book ALL NIGHTER #1 from Image Comics.

ODS, a regional insurance company in the Pacific Northwest, needed talent to design and draw a comicbook superhero character for their annual report and promotional material. The report was designed and assembled by the ODS marketing department, David Hahn did the drawing and story consulting, Ben Bates and Cat Farris did the coloring.

What folks are saying-

“Hahn has a winner on his hands here…10 out of 10.”

…PLASTIC MAN is there! In Periscope’s collective opinion, that’s one sign of a great convention. And it was confirmed by continued sightings of busy Periscopes meeting fans and friends, sketching, signing and shilling for three days at the Emerald City Comicon, one of the best organized and most well-run conventions in the country. We were happy to meet so many of you, and hope to see even more at next year’s con. Come on out– a great time is guaranteed.

We’ve been having weekly themed sketch challenges at our Tumblr site. This week’s was Mad Men and it provoked some really exciting pieces. Take a look!
