Swamp Market

The new TRUE SWAMP No. 1 (April 2011) can be ordered here from my publisher, Uncivilized Books!

Uncivilized also offers my recent work of dread, KLAGEN: A HORROR, here.

Global Hobo is the place to order my 40 page CULTISTS OF NORTH AMERICA mini.  Think William Steig + Thomas Ligotti.

You’ll shortly be able to buy True Swamp back issues here through Paypal.

True Swamp Volume 1

True Swamp #1-5 (24, 48, 24, 40, 24pp, 1993-1995, self-published, then SLG Publishing)

The individual issues of Vol.1 are long out of print, but each had a respectable print run, so if you’re into back issues they’re out there somewhere.  But your best bet right now is to find a copy of–

True Swamp: The Memoirs Of Lenny The Frog (150pp, 1996, SLG Publishing, ISBN 0-943151-10-4)

This trade paperback collects issues 1 through 4 plus a True Swamp story which appeared in Dark Horse Presents.  It’s also out of print, but because it’s squarebound with an ISBN, you can find one pretty easily.  Find used copies on Amazon here.

The Complete True Swamp (approx. 350 pp.)

This is my paramount goal at this point.  While I work on and publish the in-progress Volume 3 here, I’m also scanning and restoring all the old stuff with an eye toward an eventual single book of Vols. 1-3.  Does this need a publisher? Yes.  If you have money to throw at the wall and you know how to publish and promote a bizarre but rewarding comic book, feel free to step forward.

piracy is awesome

If you look around the web a bit, you’ll find some hard-working file sharers have scanned every page of True Swamp Vol. 1 and uploaded it as a single .zip to Rapidshare.  I would hate to spoil the fun of the hunt, but if you google my comic, these guys come up within the first few pages of results.  The scans are not ideal but what the hell.  They have thousands of other comics uploaded, too.  People, I have stolen so much music since getting my first high-speed connection in 2003 that I just find the whole thing exciting. [EDIT 4/2011: This seems to have vanished by now.]
