lukabeast Posted July 5, 2005 Author Share Posted July 5, 2005 Quotes, we don't neeeed no stinking quotes!!! OK, they weren't pirates, but bandits, it's somewhat close (please don't flog me). What People Are Saying About DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES... "It reads good. It looks good. I think you're in great shape." -STEVE NILES (Eisner nominated writer of 30 DAYS OF NIGHT: RETURN TO BARROW, FREAKS OF THE HEARTLAND, and ALEISTER ARCANE) "I think the book itself, written by newcomer Dwight MacPherson, is a very fresh take on pirate tales." -Steven Cummings (Penciler on DC's DEADSHOT, FLASH, BATMAN: LEGENDS OF THE DARK KNIGHT, and MARVEL's ELEKTRA) "I enjoyed it very much. I'd describe it as a high seas adventure of greed, murder and mystery which sets the stage for an unsettling ride through the mind of MacPherson." -Chris Valentino (EXEC. PRODUCER/PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT FANGORIATV) "Stunning art propels DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES, with Mike Fiorentino handling the "present tense" story (taking place in 1719) and Fernando Acosta sailing through Kibble's flashbacks of life with Captain Kidd." -SHAUN MANNING (of SILVERBULLETCOMICBOOKS) "A chilling first effort from the highly creative Dwight MacPherson." -MIKE BARON (Writer of NEXUS and THE NIGHT CLUB) "...this is a fine, fine start to a series that has loads of potential for success in the horror genre." -MARC MASON (of MOVIE POOP SHOOT's "SHOULD IT BE A MOVIE?") "I thoroughly enjoyed it." -KELVIN GREEN (of SILVERBULLETCOMICBOOKS) "I really like the overall concept of what MacPherson is doing here. The idea of Captain Kidd and Blackbeard fighting over an arcane piece of treasure is full of possibilities for some great adventure as well as horror." -MICHAEL MAY (COMIC WORLD NEWS) "A well put-together book." -JIM MEIRS (of SILVERBULLETCOMICBOOKS) "With no shortage of menace and atmosphere, writer Dwight MacPherson crafts a tale of legendary pirates in search of a treasure that endangers their very souls." -LES WEILER (SEVERE MAGAZINE) "[DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES #1] is the start of an interesting story. I'm curious to see what happens next." -MICHAEL DEELEY (of SILVERBULLETCOMICBOOKS) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kendra The Sea Maid Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Thought I'd share page 1 with you. It's not even available on the site yet. Hope 'ya dig it!! The artwork is amazing. . . and I am not reall one who is into comic books! How long dose it take to draw a comic book? When my book gets published, (some day soon hopefully) I may write you and ask to do the cover art!

Cap'n D.L. MacPherson Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 Thanks for the kind words, Kendra! Alas, I am but a poor scribe. Our artist just graduated from the Kubert School and is really making waves!! The average time to draw a complete issue for a penciler is anywhere from 21 to 45 days. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ukatana Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 HOPE @ Wizard World Chicago For Immediate Release In 2004, a massive tsunami washed through much of coastal Asia, killing hundreds of thousands while wiping out towns and villages. The destruction was so massive that relief work continues to this day.

The charity benefit book will debut this August 4th through the 7th at Wizard World Chicago!

MacPherson (Writer – Dead Men Tell No Tales) Mike Fiorentino (Artist – Dead Men Tell No Tales) Jessi Embry (Cover Artist – ANT, Ezra) To offer an added spotlight to this project, Arcana Studio has produced a limited edition HOPE #1 Wizard World Chicago variant cover featuring Arcana’s Ezra dueling with Sir Francis Drake (of Dead Men Tell No Tales) as rendered by Arcana cover artist Jessi Embry! This book is limited to 100 copies with every sell helping those in need! All proceeds from the regular and limited editions of HOPE #1 will go to support the Red Cross.
