Former New York City Mayor Ed Koch, who died this week, appeared frequently in The New York Observer’s Eight Day Week column during the years I was illustrating it. After leaving office he wore many hats, including restaurant and movie critic; I suspect he’s giving the thumbs-up gesture in the above drawing in that capacity.

The plans for this one have been in the works for some months, but seeing it up on Amazon and elsewhere makes it seem real: EVERYBODY GETS IT WRONG! AND OTHER STORIES, the new collection of my 24 Hour Comics from Dark Horse, is coming out this June. Here’s copy from the website:

SNOW ANGEL is finally getting her own book! This sort-of-superhero story began as a black and white 24 Hour Comic, was then reworked in full color for the anthology SNOW STORIES , and when that book was cancelled eventually appeared in three parts in Dark Horse’s flagship anthology DARK HORSE PRESENTS. Now, SNOW ANGEL will appear in a 32-page comic going on sale April 3rd. Many thanks to my editors Mike Richardson and Philip Simon, and everyone at Dark Horse!

The above image comes from my comics story The Girl With The Keyhole Eyes, the third installment of which appears in the current issue of Dark Horse Presents, which is being published today. This story is a memoir which freely mixes fact and fiction, or maybe just fiction and fiction.
