Screamland is Official

• December 2007: This update is long overdue, but I am happy to announce that March 2008 will see the launch of my new comic, Screamland, published by Image Comics. Screamland was written by Harold Sipe and illustrated by me. I have posted the covers to issue #1 and #2, as well as some sample pages, in the Comics Section.

SCREAMLAND #1
Written by Harold Sipe
Art and cover by Hector Casanova
Where have the old Hollywood monsters gone? In the age of computer graphics and green screen, the answer ain't pretty. Having lost all of his money in a dot-com scheme, Frankenstein's Monster is content to drink the days away. When a chance at work drops in his lap, can he sober up long enough to cash in? Will the whole affair end in pitchforks and torches?
32 pages, $2.99, in stores on March 12.

I will post links to Image's site when they announce the book.

• May 2007: Midnight Album, a stand alone comic with a short story written and illustrated by myself (Héctor Casanova), and another short story by Harold Sipe, is now available for onlione purchase.

Both are autobiographical stories about children being faced with the prospect of the supernatural, and the loss of innocence that follows. One's a ghost story, one's a God story; both are illustrated with strikingly unconventional mixed-media art, from photo collage to white gouche on black paper. This is a very limited print run, so get it while it lasts.
