THE BEAT » Blog Archive » STRAY BULLETS art for sale.
With a new house to pay for, for the first time EVER, David Lapham is selling original art from STRAY BULLETS. If only we had a spare $500 lying around.
While linking to this site, we became aware of the fact that you can read the first four issues of STRAY BULLETS online for free. If you have not read this ’90s masterpiece of pain, trauma, violence, and degradation, this first four issues are, to fall back on an overused term, as good as it gets. (Above page not for sale; top page is.)
I was also not aware that a new STRAY BULLETS story had been published in Dark Horse’s recently released NOIR anthology. Now you know as much as we do.
Meltcast 47: Stray Bullets, Criminal, X-Factor, Spider-Man, GI:JOE, Prison Pit, Almighty’s Ed LaRoche, more Namor talk and NOW YOU CAN CALL US
We start and end with the Royal One of the Undersea as Chris shows off some Namor artwork, then we delve into crime as Sam talks up CRIMINAL, compares to STRAY BULLETS and SIN CITY, and talk up potential dream directors for Brubaker and Phillip’s masterpiece.
We then yammer about some books with ALMIGHTY’s Ed LaRoche, including recent X-FACTOR, ASTONISHING SPIDER-MAN/WOLVERINE #3, THUNDERBOLTS, SHADOWLAND: POWER MAN, Kieron Gillen’s THOR run, we go back to last week and grill Chris on his NEMISIS #3 throwdown, and talk up scripting for artists compared to the artist doing it all. Last, we touch on the GI:JOE – COBRA SPECIAL, X-MEN LEGACY #240, WONDER WOMAN #603, THE TECHNOPRIESTS, NAMOR #2, PRISON PIT by Johnny Ryan, and we ask Chris a hard question – should Namor and Sue ever be together?
Music: Iron Maiden – The Wicker Man (Live in Rio)
Intro: Notorious B.I.G. – Who Shot Ya? (Remix)/Project 86 – The Butcher
