LEON: PROTECTOR OF THE PLAYGROUND debuts this month at BALTIMORE COMIC CON

My newest graphic novel, LEON: PROTECTOR OF THE PLAYGROUND makes its' debut at the Baltimore Comic-Con, where they have pulled out all the stops for me and my little buddy--and I hope that you can be there to celebrate with me!

This project has been a long time in the making, but the time has finally come. More to write but tip of my fisherman's hat to Marc Nathan and the great staff heading up the Baltimore show--we're going to do things real big!

And if you can't get to Baltimore, I am still taking pre-orders (which will soon just be 'orders') here. I will have editions of LEON in soft and hardcover, so feel free to buy both: One to keep on ice, the other to give to your cousin, or a kid you know who needs a new hero to look up to.

ICYMI: Cool write-up with STORY SUPPLY CO.

A couple of factoids that are a tad off (this is my 20th year doing creative, not 30--I'm not that old!) but a very cool piece, nonetheless. Please go support these guys!

Also look for a review of their product in the next DRAW! magazine.
