Zombie Western + Beer = Six Pack Stories

A couple years back, my buddy Lance Curran approached me with an idea for this project he wanted to try through the brewery he was Kickstarting with his friend, combining two things we all love. COMICS and BEER. Fast forward, and here we are, on the day of its release! It was awesome working with Lance on this, and as always, an honor and a thrill to work with my pal Jason Aaron again. Here's the press release:

Chicago craft brewery, Arcade Brewery, announced that today it will release its first volume of 6-Pack Stories. Festus Rotgut: Zombie Cowboy is a western zombie comic by Jason Aaron and Tony Moore across six bottles of Black Wheat Ale. The beer was brewed after the story has been created…

“Since there are zombies, I immediately thought something dark,” said Tourre. “Driving a heard of cattle across the dusty landscape also made me immediately go to a dry wheat beer.”

Tourre says he used some specialty roasts to create marshmallow and caramel flavors. He dry hopped the beer too, which Tourre says gives it a spicy finish.

This is just the first… more to come. Festus Rotgut is a limited release and will be available in Chicago area bottle shops. See a map of locations at arcadebrewery.com/beers, or you can buy it online at West Lakeview Liquors, The Beer Temple, and Binny’s Beverage Depot.

Arcade Brewery will host tastings of Festus Rotgut on Wednesday at the following Chicago locations: Kimbark Beverage, Binnys Lincoln Park, Bottles & Cans, and West Lakeview Liquors.

Comics for Cures sketch cards!

the guys at Comics for Cures are doing a sketch card fundraiser for the American Cancer Society, so I drew a little inspiration from William Burroughs and Hunter S. Thompson, and I decided to do 'em up a little something special, with some pen & ink, some acrylic-filled squibs, and my bolt action .22. You can bid on these bullet-riddled zombie cards NOW on eBay!

and here's a video, so you can see all the action!

Click here for the same video mirrored on Youtube. For more info on these cards and the cause in general, go check out ComicsforCures.com!

Commisssions & Con Sketches

I just wanted to go on and put an announcement out front and center that i DO NOT take Commissions on a regular basis.
I only do sketches at Conventions and Signings, and i DO NOT take sketch requests for a show beforehand.

For a full rundown on how this process works, please read the new COMMISSIONS section at the top of the site.

If you are one of the few on my old short list of commissions, things are as they were when last we talked. I am slowly working my way through them all, and i appreciate your patience.

Thank you.

Punisher #11: FrankenCastle solicits

My first issue of Punisher with long-time partner in crime, Rick Remender, is in solicitation now. If you've enjoyed what Rick and I have cooked up in the past, I guarantee you'll have fun with this. And just to quell the speculation, YES, it is exactly what it looks like... but much more awesome than what you're thinking. I wouldn't lead you wrong, would I?

“FRANKEN-CASTLE” PART 1
In the belly of New York, skulking and forgotten creatures of the night uncover the remains of a man in a familiar outfit. Frank Castle is dead. What exactly IS Frankencastle? Long time collaborators Rick Remender and Tony Moore (GHOST RIDER, Fear Agent, The Walking Dead) are reunited for what will be the greatest struggle in the afterlife of the Punisher. Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster...
