"Listen. I don't like to preach, but here's some advice. You'll meet a lot of jerks in life. If they hurt you, remember it's because they're stupid. Don't react to their cruelty. There's nothing worse than bitterness and revenge. Keep your dignity and be true to yourself." - Marjane Satrapi
Check out this fantastic Necro-man illustration by Matthew Daley -- a tribute to the character from Jay Stephens' Sinister Horde, part of his 1990s SIN comics and reprinted in colour in the new Land of Nod collection. Grab your copy here at go.blackeye.ca/nod
Jay's been sketching cover designs for the Land of Nod off and on for years, and he's absolutely nailed it with the final! 1/2
The entire Land of Nod Saga, Badman, and Coxwell the Badly Drawn Ghost are back FOR THE LAST TIME, now in colours! PLUS The complete Sinister Horde, not in print since the 90s, a huge gallery of rare and unpublished extras: sketches, press clippings, newsletters, photos, and MORE! go.blackeye.ca/nod
'Holy Pig!' became a hallmark catchphrase in the Tragedy Strikes Press office after Jay showed up with this page. Thankfully, I was the managing editor there and not the publisher, so this isn't about me being a control freak. Right, Jay? RIGHT??? JAY???
Plus ça change... how many artists still feel this way well past their 20s?
The complete SINISTER HORDE tales in full colour have been collected in THE LAND OF NOD ultimate edition … crowdfunding now! Not seen in print for 34 years. Why? WHO? Find out go.blackeye.ca/nod
Another cool thing about THE LAND OF NOD ultimate edition is that it matches up perfectly with the other Black Eye Books editions (JETCAT & FRIENDS, DEJECTS, DWELLINGS), creating a thematic ‘Jay Stephens Library’. Here is a photo in gritty anaglyph 3D to show you how REAL THIS IS go.blackeye.ca/nod
