Poster Boy
by Coop
POSTER BOY is going to be huge (literally!) 11? x 14?, 312 pages, this new book will focus on all of my rock and roll related work – gig posters, flyers, record covers and everything else associated with the last 40 YEARS (you read that right) that I’ve been making art.
The larger format was chosen to really show off the 250+ silkscreen prints that I’ve done over the years, with almost every one given a full page. We’ve shot new hi resolution photos of all the prints from my personal archive, and I think they’re gonna look better in print than they ever have before!
For fans of his iconic devil character, to his tour posters and other unmistakable artwork, this book is a career retrospective for the generational artist Coop, and is recommended for mature readers.

DENIS KITCHEN: Three Comics Collections
Three risograph-printed issues collecting underground cartoonist Denis Kitchen’s comics from the 1960s through today.
Risography printing is sort of a cross between screen printing and duplicator machines you find in offices and Kinko’s. It was originally intended to be an inexpensive way of color photocopying for schools and businesses back in the ’80s, but artists have found it an invaluable tool for creating art prints, ‘zines, comics, and more.
Riso machines print one or two colors at a time using plant-based inks resulting in an imperfect charm: ink texture and misregistration make each print one-of-a-kind!

Universal Champion #1—A Sci-fi Comedy About our dumb brains
When an insecure wrestler gets drafted into a galactic fighting competition, he must overcome his self-doubt to become a real champion.
ick Riley is a world-famous professional wrestler. He’s sold out arenas across the globe. Stores can’t keep his merchandise in stock.
And none of that means anything to him. His self-doubt and the shadow of his even-more-famous father cause him to turn every win into a loss.
So when Rick is mistakenly abducted by aliens and thrust into a universe-wide fighting competition, he immediately says yes. Far away from his father and impossible expectations, he can finally find the type of success that leads to true contentment.
Or can he?
Universal Champion is a comedic, energetic, heartfelt love letter to sci-fi, wrestling, and the daily fight against our dumb, dumb, super-dumb brains.
Think Galaxy Quest meets The Wrestler.
It’s brought to life by George O’Connor (writer), Fernando Pinto (artist), JP Jordan (colors), and Justin Birch (letters).
And for the first issue, we have two killer variant covers from superstar Marguerite Sauvage and Marvel artist Federica Mancin! (more on these covers in a second)
Universal Champion #1 is complete!
All we need to know is how many copies to print and where to send them.

Louise Sprouse Stole My Heart
A coming-of-age hitman comic from the three time Eisner nominated cartoonist Kyle Starks (END OF LIFE, RICK AND MORTY, LOBO, PEACEMAKER
Archie Winters is the best hitman on the planet. A cold-hearted man who lets nothing or nobody get close. But the last hit went wrong and now he’s on the run with a precious diamond. Unsure where to go, he hides out at the motel where his family would summer as a kid and finds himself transported back to his youth, the memories formed here, the friendships, the bullies, the victories, the losses, the childhood loves.
But now Archie—on the run, a killer for hire with a priceless jewel—runs into that childhood love, Louise Sprouse, in the same summer tourist town he saw her last, now grown up.
And she is going to steal his heart.
A hitman coming-of-age story with tons of heart and over-the-top graphic violence
In 2020 during the pandemic, I made a digital comic based on suggestions from my fans and followers which became KARATE PROM. I liked the experiment so much I did it again in 2021 with the suggested title LOUISE SPROUSE STOLE MY HEART (AND I HAVE TWO HOURS TO GET IT BACK) which has been a pay-what-you-want comic since then.
THE BOOK IS ENTIRELY COMPLETED AND READY TO PRINT!
But I’ve always wanted it in physical form. A 48-page, full story, single shot comic doesn’t really have a place in today’s comic publishing universe so I knew one day I would have to do it myself and we’re finally doing it! I’ve re-drawn a ton of original art, added pages, made a new cover, did ton of new interior design and I toned the pages black and white with an added a pop of spot red (like Sin City). I think the toning + color came out awesome:

CHAOS! COMICS – THE PURGATORI & CHASTITY OMNIBUS COLLECTION!
The 1990s Bad Girl Stories Collected in Deluxe Omnibuses For The First Time EVER! Co-starring LADY DEATH & EVIL ERNIE!
Being one of the first fans to crawl out of the grave has its rewards. Fans who back this Kickstarter during the first 66 hours and 6 minutes will receive a special set of limited-edition Chastity and Purgatori promotional collectible trading cards created specifically for the campaign. It’s our way of recognizing the fans who are there from the very beginning and helping us bring Purgatori and Chastity back into the spotlight.
But this is a genuine early-backer opportunity. Once the first 66 hours and 6 minutes have passed, the offer is gone. So if you’ve been waiting for these characters to return, don’t wait too long. The clock starts when the campaign launches.
CHAOS! COMICS RETURNS: PURGATORI & CHASTITY ULTIMATE OMNIBUS EDITIONS ARE HERE!
The bad-ass legends of Chaos! are coming back.
For decades, the classic stories of Purgatori and Chastity have been scattered across long out-of-print comic books, hidden in impossible to find back-issue bins, and scattered in some convention boxes. They are lost to time except for the collections of fans who were there when Chaos! Comics first exploded onto the scene three decades ago. These characters are a treasured reminder of a time when comics were louder, stranger, darker, and completely unapologetic. They are legendary comic icons that many have heard about for years but have never had the chance to experience their original stories.
Until now. The earth has cracked open and we’ve reached directly into Hell to unleash these femme fatales in all their diabolical glory.
Curated by the one and only Brian Pulido, we’re bringing the classic Purgatori and Chastity stories together in definitive new collections, giving these unforgettable characters the kind of presentation they deserve and giving a whole new generation the opportunity to discover what made Chaos! Comics such a force in the 1990s.
WELCOME BACK TO CHAOS!
There was a time when Chaos! Comics didn’t just publish comics, it cultivated a way of life, a rock ‘n’ roll attitude, and a louder than hell world of creatures. The books were outrageous, the artwork was unforgettable, and the characters were unlike anything else on the shelves. Chaos! Comics built a universe where supernatural horror, dark fantasy, action, humor, and larger-than-life personalities could collide without anyone worrying about staying safely inside the lines.
Purgatori and Chastity were born from that creative explosion.
They represented two very different sides of the Chaos! universe, but both embodied the same spirit: powerful women who refused to be defined by anyone else’s rules. They weren’t supporting players waiting for their moment. They were characters that would walk into a story and completely change its direction.
And now, their classic adventures are coming back into the light.
PURGATORI
BLOOD, POWER, & AMBITION
Purgatori has always been more than a vampire. From her first appearance, she is a survivor, a warrior, a seductress, and a force of supernatural ambition. Her journey is built around power and the desire to obtain it, the willingness to use it, and the realization that possessing power only creates greater enemies. Her world is one of blood, betrayal, ancient evil, and shifting alliances, where even immortality cannot guarantee victory.
From her earliest appearances through the stories that established her as one of Chaos!’s signature characters, Purgatori became an icon of the era. Her adventures captured the excess, imagination, and unapologetic attitude that defined Chaos! Comics while creating a character who was entirely her own.
For longtime fans, these collections offer the chance to revisit the stories that helped make Purgatori a legend. For new readers, they provide the opportunity to discover her story from the beginning and experience the character the way Chaos! originally intended.
CHASTITY
THE WARRIOR WHO NEVER BACKED DOWN
Chastity has always embraced the eternal fight. She exists in a world filled with monsters, vampires, supernatural forces, and enemies who believe they can control the battlefield. But Chastity bows to no one. Just give her a weapon, give her a target, and get out of the way.
What made Chastity stand apart was the attitude behind the action. She was tough, dangerous without needing to announce it, and completely unwilling to become someone else’s pawn. Her stories combined supernatural horror, action, dark humor, and the rockin’ artistic energy that made Chaos! Comics such a 1990s powerhouse.
These collections bring those classic adventures back together so fans can experience Chastity’s journey as one complete reading experience right from your bookshelf.

Rigsby WI – Volume 3: Flux by SE Case
Volume 3 of SE Case’s Eisner-nominated webcomic is up for grabs! Welcome back to Rigsby, Wisconsin!
Welcome back to Rigsby, Wisconsin.
It’s the early 2000s, and a group of outcast teens wrestle with their shifting identities and potential futures in a picturesque—but slightly backwards—Northwoods town.
Trapped in a small town environment prone to nihilism, Jeordie, Anna, and Beth cope any way they know how—regardless of the unpredictable, and sometimes self-destructive, results.
Rigsby WI: Flux is the third chapter of Ignatz and Eisner Award-nominated webcomic written and drawn by S.E. Case. And this time around, it’s all about Jeordie.
Jeordie’s not having a great year.
It’s not school; his grades are alright. Honor roll, even. He’s got good friends, a cute girlfriend. Parties to go to, warm days at the lake, even a car. All the parts and pieces that make for the perfect teenage experience are there.
But it’s just not clicking.
Let’s be real, it can be tough being the only Black kid for miles. The microaggressions are everywhere, even if you’re not gonna learn that word exists for another 15 years.
And while nobody’s high school relationships are easy? Sometimes, he’s not even sure his girlfriend actually likes him.
He’s not sure anybody does.
Deciding who you’re supposed to be and where you belong is easier with some backup. And while Beth is always ready to listen, and his parents are hovering at a respectful distance, Jeordie’s got more than his share of the typical teenage bullshit to navigate. And it’s getting tougher to stay on course.
