Legend of Bill transcends the digital realm again and appears for the first time (and in every issue thereafter) in two of my favorite magazines this month, Renaissance Magazine (available in Borders, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, et al) and Knights of the Dinner Table magazine (in finer comic book and gaming stores nationwide), and let us not forget the 1st LoB tome, the Legend of Bill comic book, published by Th3rd World Publishing, which is live, ready and available for your reading pleasure! The Legend grows!

Legend of Bill comic book UPDATE! (and PREVIEW)
by David Reddick on October 23rd, 2009Hello, friends! Okay, so you’re wondering where the heck your Legend of Bill comic book issue #1 is! Well, I have good news – the last of the coloring is being added to the final pages (you can see Josh Ulrich’s PHENOMENAL coloring for the comic book story portion (written by the fantastic Steve Ogden and pencilled and inked by myself and the incredible Eldon Cowgur) above in a sneak peek of panel 1 from page 1 of the story – as you’ve never seen Bill, Frank and Gina before!) into the pages and this puppy will be sent off to the printer within a few weeks, and you will have it hand, soon, finally!! My profuse apologies for running behind on the book, as my varied other duties (and family) have thrown off things just a bit. But I do hope it will be worth it to you, as a lot of blood, sweat and tears have gone into it and I can’t wait for you to see the result. SO, hang tight, my friends, and THANK YOU for your profound patience on the book. And don’t forget – if you ordered the Artist’s Edition, you get your hand-drawn sketch card and map of the region where Bill and Company are traveling!) AND – Th3rd World is throwing in as a bonus to EVERYONE who ordered the book – Issue #1 of their great Omega Chase comic book just as a thank you for your patience while your very own slow-as-a-snail LoB cartoonist (um, me) drags his feet! How’s that for a deal?
In the meantime, please enjoy this sneak peek at pix of me working on the pages on my barbaric CIntiq 21UX. I’ve had some wonderful help on the book as well as I mentioned above (BIG HUGE thanks to Steve, Eldon, Don, Joshand Jeff), and can’t wait o show you team LoB’s hard work!!
We’ve been like a pack of barbarians writing, drawing, and coloring our butts off at the Wet Gill Tavern Inn!
This sucker’s gonna rock like Mjolnir thunderous blow!!!
My friends!
If you’re wondering where your Legend of Bill comic book is, well, it will soon be on its way! I’ve run a little behind on it, as I’ve packed so much into it that I’ve needed more time to complete it just the way I want it. so I appreciate GREATLY your patience, and I promise to make it worth your wait. And as an extra bonus, Th3rd World Publishing will be sending you a copy of one of their other fine books “Omega Chase” with EVERY order! How’s that for service? You’re gonna love it.
Thank you again for being patient. But WOW am I proud of the result. It will soon be sent off to the printer, and I will alert you HERE as soon as it heads to them!
Thanks, team!!
Yours in comics and caffiene,
David
