IKJK creator and former CCS Fellow Ken Dahl (aka Gabby) talks about Monsters and more with Steve Bissette on his blog.

Here’s the latest installment. As always, full run of strips is available on my website.

At least that’s what my Mom tells me. Also Tom Spurgeon over at The Comics Reporter!

CCS graduation was Tom’s #1 news story of the week, and CCS was also the “Winner of the Week.”

Thanks, Tom, for your continued and vocal support of the school.

We’d originally talked about posting new artwork every few days blog, but what with final projects, graduation, and summer plans, everything’s been to hectic to follow through on that. Sorry, all!

This is something I did for James’ Professional Practices class- we were asked (if we had time) to do a short “Student Testimonial” for promotional purposes. Here’s what I came up with:

Most of the photos in the last page were taken by other people. I don’t know their names, but if you recognize one, tell me and I’ll credit you. Artwork in panel 4 copyright Rich Tommasso. The zine covers in Panel 6 copyrighted Jacob Jarvela, Elizabeth Chasalow, Caitlin Plovnik, Emily Weija, Alexis Frederick-Frost and Lauren O’Connell. All used without permission. Sorry.

Well, today’s the big day. There’s about a million things I could say right now, but nothing Stephen Bissette couldn’t say better.

We just keep on adding more and more amazing new cartoonists to the IKJK store…when will it end?! Hopefully never! Check out Chuck Forsman’s brand new mini Drunks #1 - Sea Colony, an atmospheric, delicately drawn vignette set at the beach.

Also new at the IKJK store is Alex Kim’s gripping, modern take on costumed heroes- The Bird and The Bear, Doormats of Life.

These awesome new titles are sure to satisfy your mini-comics cravings, so pick up your copies today!

Check out Jeff Lok’s new 12 page mini in the IKJK store! It features a lovely screenprinted cover and will make you think about life and get all poetic and stuff.
