COMICS ACCEPTANCE! - Outlaw Territory II
August 22, 2008

Outlaw Territory

"The Whores in Trinidad Need Witnessing to" is an eight page western comic story (illustrator TBA), and my first time writing in the western genre. Outlaw Territory is a new anthology, published by Image Comics.

The first volume of Outlaw Territory (cover above by Greg Ruth, whose recent Conan work with Kurt Busiek has blown me away) is solicited in the present issue of Diamond Previews for an October 15 release. After seeing a script of mine last year, editor Michael Woods asked me for an eight page story for the second volume in the series. After a rewrite, it ended up being a good fit for the book.

Now, I'm not one to speculate, but I imagine the first/current volume selling well in preorders would increase that second volume's chances of coming to fruition all the sooner. So ask your local comic shop to reserve you a copy. Also available at Amazon if you must, but won't your local comics retailer appreciate your business more?
