So, from my various rants on superhero costumes to my occasional comics depicting a sexually-inappropriate Spider-Man, you probably realize I love comics. And if that wasn’t evidence enough, there is the fact that I had one made for my very own story with the insanely good help of my friend, Ashley Cope.
Flesh and Blood, Steel and Gold was made for three reasons: one, because I love working with Ashley; two, because I really wanted to see a comic of my work; and three, because I wanted to see if I liked writing comics.
As it turns out, I do. I do a whole lot.
Which is good, because the good people at BOOM! Studios have asked me to contribute stories to their amazing series of Munchkin comics!
Woah there, Sam Sykes. That’s a lot to take in! What the heck is Munchkin?
What? Seriously? You don’t know? You’re here on this blog, so you must be a nerd of some variety. And if you’re a nerd of some variety, you must know about this awesome game. But I guess if you don’t…
Munchkin is a tabletop game by the good folks at Steve Jackson Games in which several players take the form of aggressively belligerent adventurers out to kill monsters, get loot and backstab each other in the most wildly imaginative and bloody ways.
Sounds pretty good, but why’d you want to write comics about it?
…because it’s about aggressively belligerent adventurers out to kill monsters, get loot and backstab each other in the most wildly imaginative and bloody ways. Sheesh.
Well, that’s it! I’m sold! Where can I get it?
The issue in which my story is featured will be out on November 25th in this, the year of our lord, 2015.
Please support your local comic book stores by going there and requesting it for your pull list! Or, if you’re a digitally savvy fellow, go out and find it on places like Comixology!
I’ve had an amazing time working with BOOM! and Steve Jackson games. I think you guys are really going to like what I came up with.
See you then!
