The end of the One Shot:

And yes, as several people have observed, the guy in the chair is supposed to be an overweight version of… Franks. That’s the living room from his old place, give or take a few details (the treasure chest is more in theme than guitars and a drafting table, eh?)

Bonus points if you spotted the influence of Alice Cooper’s classic “Hey, Stoopid,” video clip:

And with that, we’re done. Stay tuned for news about new McBlack material, coming soon, and armed to the teeth, to a living room near you (or at least, your rapidly-cooling body.)

“I’ve seen the future, brother–

–it is murder.”

 

Thank you, Leonard Cohen. So, what murderous new exploits do we have lined up for you, our loyal (if bullet-riddled) fans? Well, I’m glad you asked.

The next time you see McBlack it will be in the pages of CRIMINAL ELEMENT, a new anthology for Black House Comics. Franks has teamed up with original series inker Dave Gutierrez for a short story called The Delucci Bambino, which wraps up a loose story thread from McBlack Vol.01. It looks a bit like this:

Following that, we have a new one shot int he works with a killer team of guest artists. It’s called McBLACK TWO SHOT, obviously, and it should be dropping in June if all goes to plan. More information will be forthcoming… soonish. Keep your panties on.

Franks is also well into the penciling of McBLACK vol.02, “Lady McBlack”. You can take your panties off for this one.

Hey there, psychos,

We are All up In Your Facebooks.

Like the Whiteface McBlack facebook page to get all the news about His Royal McBlackness first. Franks often posts sketches, production drawings, and fan art and other hints and clues as to the future of the book.

That link again: https://www.facebook.com/WhitefaceMcBlack

Go on. It validates our feelings as amoral, bodiless monsters.

Scaryminds has a review of the One Shot, currently running as the main feature on this site. They gave us ten little stars, and I like to think that each one of those actually a smear of lead.

In the House

Hey boys and girls,

Those of you who came to see us at Supanova will already have the news, but for those legions of black-hearted miscreants who did not, here it is:

We are very pleased to announce that, starting with the brand new second edition of McBlack vol.01, Black House Comics is now the publisher of McBlack.

Franks’ Blackglass Press is already the producer on the upcoming newsstand magazine Terra for Black House, so this is probably not a big surprise to anyone. This is great news all around: Black House’s distribution website, Blackboox.net, has already been instrumental in getting copies of the graphic novel on sale in bookstores and comics festivals around the country over the last year, so, special thanks to publisher Baden Kirgan and to all of the fans, pundits, reviewers and creators who have contributed to our growing success.

– McB

PS Yes, I know that’s a lot of ‘blacks’ to keep track of. Black is the new black, baby.
