lukabeast Posted July 5, 2005 Author 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)

Kendra The Sea Maid Posted July 27, 2005 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 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. :)
