The First of Several New York Comic Con Posts That I Have Procrastinated On Making

I spent a decent amount of time at the unofficial Zuda booth over the weekend, and can’t stress enough that High Moon and Nite Owls are worthy of your comics-reading attention (though many of you already know that, I’m thinking).  However, I also got to talk with Bob Francis, who just pitched a comic called Flight Captain Hurricane to Zuda, and that’s what I really want to pimp today.

I saw way more of what Bob and his crew are putting together than I strictly should have, and it’s goddamn impressive.  It’s impeccably researched and has some straight-up beautiful artwork (the first full-page panel, for instance).

Hurricane is in Zuda’s hands right now, and I think it’s got the potential to do well on the Zuda platform.   I feel hackneyed or cliched when I say that “so and so creator is really just a nice guy,” but that’s definitely true of Bob.  He has a very infectious level of enthusiasm for what he’s doing.  He believes in the Zuda platform pretty strongly, and I really hope it works for him.
