COMIC CON!

NEW ART BOOK available in SAN DIEGO!

THE DAN BRERETON SKETCH GALLERY VOL. 1 is not a  copied "kinko's" affair, but a professionally printed , high-quality limited run sketchbook with over 60 images, drawings, paintings, studies, nudes, sketches and prelims, many of which have never seen publication anywhere else. The run is limited to 1000 copies, so if you're going to be at Comic-con this month, get yourself over to booth 1509.

This year Im going to be offering many more  11x17 sized pin-ups in a wide selection than ever before as well and many new single 8x11 images.

finally, Im brother, matt, is supposed to be debuting a color GIANTKILLER t-shirt
at the show, and if he makes them happn in time, they should be VERY nice and VERY limited in number- hes making the GIANTKILLER design a sort of guinea pig for a new business venture, and if the shirts do well, there will be more designs- NOCTURNALS, THE PSYCHO, ETC...

at any rate, lots of goodies, lots of fun, and of course, if you're curious about the my Lord of the Rings parody in this year's TREEHOUSE OF HORROR, you can catch the Bongo panel on friday at 4pm ill be there to talk about that undertaking.

I hope to see you there,

WE'RE BACK!

OK, basically our old hostess Lee is getting out of the hosting biz and so we've moved to a new server. While we've been finding a new host it's not been possible to update the website. Sorry about that. I hope everyone's been going to check the messageboard, which is a useful place to meet other Nocturnals fans and keep on the news.

Our new host is Nexcess.net so thanks to them for all their help. And of course thanks to Lee for her time on Nocturnals.com.

THIS MONTH'S COVER

I have a GI JOE cover that came out last month, its mainly of the Baroness.

POD GALLERIES

This one has been online for a while, but because of the server switch we haven't been able to publicize it as much as I'd like.

The site's new features are tabbed browsing, "My Gallery" where viewers will now be able to add their favorite images to their own virtual gallery, instant commenting and Artist Aliases. So the new Brereton address is http://www.podgallery.com/brereton/

There are 26 "comics"-like images there and a further 11 in the Taboo gallery. You can get prints there, great for collectors and for presents!

GETTING MY COMICS

I recommend the folloiwng places online to get my comics, TPBs, etc.

WHAT I'VE BEEN UP TO...

I've done 4 vampirella covers for an upcoking miniseries, and 4 pages from being done with "Ring around the Simpsons"... writing and illustration chores on the nocs midnight companion, plus the BOP one shot "Colc Case" written by devin grayson , and starring Babs in her batgirl days- fun stuff, as this issue has lots of batgirl in costume along with robin and the dark knight himself.

also, Im not sure, but arent we coming up on some kind of nocturnals.com anniversary  or something? how long has the site been around now? 5 years?
