PREVIEW

The pages of “You have Killed Me,” come to Meltdown after their debut at the Art Institute Of Portland (the home city of both creators).
Meltdown will be the exclusive home for the show from July 27th thru August 4th. Pages from the book will be sale.

You Have Killed Me is a Hard-Boiled Crime Thriller, following Private Eye Antonio Mercer — hired to investigate the disappearance of his ex-fiance (just days before her wedding), lured back into a world he wanted no part of…

Johanna Draper Carlson of comicsworthreading.com calls You Have Killed Me “The Big Sleep with an understandable plot”, and that Jones’ “graceful yet strong lines are well sutied for the…femme fatale.” Greg McElhatton of readaboutcomics.com says the book “makes me feel like I’m watching an old crime noir film. Fortunately, it’s not one that I’ve seen before.”

Jones & Rich have worked together previously on such projects as 12 Reasons Why I Love Her, Have you Seen The Horizon Lately, Popgun, Madman Atomic Comics, and the upcoming Portland Noir.

Sejic will present his live art demo on Sunday, July 19, at Meltdown Comics from 4:00 P.M to 6:00 P.M. in their popular gallery area.   Following the art demo, from 6:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M., Stjepan Sejic will sign his comics including Witchblade, Broken Trinity, First Born, and more.
