Free Comic Book Day 2012 at The Dragon’s Lair!
Meet Therna! One of the new characters in the Sword of the Apocalypse Graphic Novel portrayed by Amanda Sherwood.
After taking a break last year, we returned to do another Free Comic Book Day at what is basically my “Home Base” comic store, Dragon’s Lair in Fayetteville, North Carolina. I’ve been a customer there for about 18 years and the owner Bernie, has been a big supporter of my comics ever since I first started. Over the years we’ve grown to become close friends so supporting him and this store is just part of what I love to do.
I think the anticipation of the Avengers movie must have fueled even more interest in comics this year because the store was PACKED all day long! It was an awesome day and we had great fun.
When ever I do Free Comic Day, Bernie asks me to donate some art. I figured that an Iron-Man sketch would be best since the Avengers movie just came out.
I drew and donated this Iron-Man Cover Sketch on an New Avengers #1 Heroic Age Edition. The comic was raffled off and the proceeds were donated to charity.
This is one of the models that I’m working with for reference in the new graphic novel. He did a great job and fans got to see a sneak peek at a few of the new charcaters .
Meet Anton! He is one of the Red Militia Vampire Soldiers. Portrayed by Jeff who also goes by the name Azure. This is another new character for the Graphic Novel.
We helped to sponsor a blood drive and everyone who donated blood that day received an exclusive Free Comic Day Luxura print that was signed and number by me. We ended up giving away about 30 of them.

It was great to see some old fans and friends. I even ran into my son’s middle school teacher who remembered that I did comics. The thing that continues to amaze me is the incredible variety of people who love and read comics. CLICK HERE to see some of the fans and friends that came out for Free Comic Day.

Vampress Luxura Comics now available for iPad, IPhone & Android!
I’m very happy to announce that my Vampress Luxura comics are now available on iPad, iPhone and Android smart devices. As I am working on the new graphic novel I wanted to make sure I had all of our bases covered when it comes to our digital comics being released on all platforms .
So from now on look for all our comics to be available on iPad, iPhone, Nook, Kindle and Android.
The comics are available on these devices via the Graphicly.com App. If you have never tried it then you really should. The App is amazing and is designed to read and enjoy comics with friends.
I’m working on another post that goes into exactly what I like so much about the Graphicly App, but for now go to the site and give it a try. Right now I only have Legend of Luxura #1 on there but that will change in the months to come as we format several of our other books for inclusion at Graphicly.
One of the really great things that I like that they have available is that I can embed a preview or free comic anywhere on the web!
