Nocturnals News: February

---

• For this year's Simpsons: TOH from Bongo Comics, I'm painting and co-writing ( with Ian Boothby) an 18-page  Lord of the Rings inspired farce, wherein the Simpsons are dropped into a fantasy setting with an intrepid fellowship of adventurers seeking to destroy an evil ring- with the exception of the simpsons themselves, its done in my painted stye and its very bizarre and cool.
• Im also supposed to be doing an issue of Radioactive Man with Bill Morrison for 04.
• I'm involved with the first of two BIRDS OF PREY arcs for DC - the first hads three tales, each by a different writer (Steven Grant, Devin Grayson and Greg Rucka) focusing on a different character. Devin's writing the Batgirl/Oracle issue, and should be done soon. when this arc is done, I'll be writing and drawing another story arc for 04, called "Rosie Six Fingers", which concerns the Canary's search for a  kidnapped mafia princess.
• I'm also doing covers for an upcoming Vampirella miniseries, as well as painting a dozen covers for a group of mini-series based on an upcoming feature (from Sony pictures) called UNDERWORLD, a sort of vampires vs werewolves war with shakesperean overtones. I think Kate Beckinsale is the lead - she plays a vampire warrior who falls for a werewolf boy- something along those lines- its going to be fun.
• Writer Jon Bresman and I are still working on the  first draft of the UNDEADLY screenplay , an action horror gang film, something along the lines of house of frankenstiein meets the warriors...
• Roger Avary is currently attached to the Nocturnals film project as director.
• Off the top of my head, I think thats it.
