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.

10 Lost Days – The End Of Magic
In the 16th Century, as the Julian Calendar changed to Gregorian, 10 days were skipped. This is the story of those lost days.
But what happened in those 10 days while the world slept?
In 1582, when all gods and mythologies are real, and science and magic coexist, a mysterious spell freezes all people and deities in place. Only a young astronomer, Sophya Brahe – sister to Danish court astronomer Tycho Brahe – will be able to save humanity.
She is belatedly warned by a Fairy named Kirsten, of an evil plan to syphon all magic from the world. Sophia receives a magic crystal and the mission to cross Europe in 240 hours, to undo the threat.
On her quest she manages to unite a small group that includes a Nordic god, a forest sprite, a Greek goddess and a Golem of Prague.
Together they courageously confront powerful supernatural beings allied to the Russian armies of Ivan the Terrible – who is set to execute the world’s largest magic heist and only has these 10 lost days to make it work.
The clock is ticking!

The 8-issue Phantoms arc begins in the Neo Tokyo district of Shibuya, which is hit with a devastating mass mind hack on Halloween night. The hack makes everyday citizens see their worst fears come to life before their eyes, triggering violence and mayhem.
Enter Phantoms; an elite police unit formed to stop the mind hacker before their deadly manipulation goes global. Led by former Killtopia bloodsport champion, Bloody Mary, the unit finds themselves thrust into a deadly game of Yakuza turf wars, violent hacker cells, and shady Government agencies.

Can they find the hacker before they completely lose their minds?

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:

Fake Your Death: Act One
Fake Your Death follows four runaways trying to flee the traumas of society when they uncover a plot to end free thought.
In the summer of 2023, Apollo City Comics launched as a publishing imprint and created a line of emotionally charged punk rock, sci-fi, stoner, political, comic book anthologies and series!
Now, Founder/CEO/Editor In Chief/ Indie Comix Warlord – Brandon Bloxdorf has teamed up with artist Chyna Rosemarea and designer/letterer Max Flowers to bring you the first entry of a three part series.

FAKE YOUR DEATH is 70 pages and presented in magazine format as opposed to traditional comic book. Widening and lengthening the pages creates a dynamic range to the story and immerses the reader into the world. Plus the art looks so rad!
Fake Your Death brings together four stories of four individuals – Justine, Diamond, Nick, and Shelly – their fate to meet each other for one purpose…
When worlds come crashing around you and all seems lost, all you can want is a restart.
Unfortunately, the night these kids ran away, bombs dropped.
Cities gassed, lives changed, and the world would never be the same again.
The corporation BROADCAST I.N.G. has announced new products.
The corporation BROADCAST I.N.G. has unleashed the bombs.
They didn’t explode and kill.
They have allowed BROADCAST I.N.G. to influence the world and shape it into their own corporate utopia.
ACT ONE takes us on a journey through the moments that changed the lives of four people, bringing them together to be our only chance of a free future.
