Anchor is "2011 Great Graphic Novels for Teens"

Hey, check this out. The Anchor Vol. 1 (a book I colored) has been selected by the Young Adult Library Service Association as one of their 2011 Great Graphic Novels for Teens. Here's the official press release...

January 21, 2011 - Los Angeles, CA - BOOM! Studios is proud to announce that for the second year in a row the Young Adult Library Service Association (YALSA) has selected a BOOM! Studios original graphic novel, THE ANCHOR VOL. 1: FIVE FURIES, as one of their 2011 Great Graphic Novels for Teens.

This year, YALSA has compiled a list of 63 titles out of 89 official nominations presented annually at the ALA midwinter conference. These titles are recommended for readers ages 12 to 18 and are chosen for their ability to "meet the criteria of both good quality literature and appealing reading for teens."

"We can't express how excited we are to receive this honor once again!" says BOOM! Studios Marketing Director Chip Mosher. "It's a pleasure to see that the hard work and dedication of the entire BOOM! staff does not go unnoticed. Thanks to YALSA for the opportunity to say once more that we produce 'Great Graphic Novels for Teens'"

Another release for 12/9...

The Anchor #3! CBR has a preview and so do I. These are the first 5 pages of the issue, but my favorite pages are from the last scene, where The Anchor fights a skeleton monster in Rome. I won't post any of those, but be assured, they're worth buying the issue just to see. It's really fun stuff.

Long time no update...

Well, before you know it 2 and half weeks go by and November is gone. I guess I've been busy, but I don't feel like I've been killing myself with work, so maybe I've found a balance? Either way, all this work has given me plenty to post about in the next few weeks.

Let's start with some Anchor covers. The first two are for The Anchor #4 and the third one is for The Anchor #5...

Next up is Die Hard: Year One #3. There were a lot of boats this issue...

Next up is S.W.O.R.D #2 from Marvel. There's a preview over at CBR, click here to see it.

Well, that's it for now, but there is still a lot of exciting stuff to come.
