By Crom—A Savage Sword Release Party!

REH Savage Sword Party

Wednesday, September 28, join Jeremy Barlow, Paul Tobin, Joshua Williamson, and Patric Reynolds for an excellent Savage Sword Release Party! Come to Things From Another World, a fine local retailer of comic books, at 4133 NE Sandy Blvd. in Portland from 7-10 pm to meet the creators behind Savage Sword #3 and enjoy free beer (with ID) and food. Win Robert E. Howard-themed prizes from Dark Horse Comics and pose for “Conan” photos in front of the green screen! RSVP on Facebook

Boilerplate BROADCAST

Before cable or the intertubes, a thing called “broadcast television” dominated video viewing. Since Boilerplate is retro, it’s appropriate that the first major video interview with the Victorian robot’s creator Paul Guinan, and co-author Anina Bennett, was televised over the airwaves–old school! Outlook Portland with Rick Emerson is a Sunday morning chat show on channel 32, and the YouTube version is now available for those who weren’t up early enough or who live outside the broadcast area. It’s in four segments, each about six minutes, 24 minutes total. Don’t miss the end, where we surprise the host with a gift and leave him nearly speechless.

And have you seen the short trailer Paul made for the Boilerplate book?
He’s very proud of it.

The comics MUSEUM show REDUX!

Did you miss out on seeing Comics at the Crossroads: Art of the Graphic Novel, last year at the Maryhill Museum? It showcased the work of 40 Pacific Northwest comic artists, including many from Periscope Studio. Now you have a second chance! The Boise Art Museum is presenting the show again at their venue, and again Periscopians are well represented. The show will run August 20 – November 27, 2011. A reception will be held on August 19 at 5:30pm. Get to the Boise Art Museum–BAM!
