Hi Matt!

    Great news. Time Bomb # 3 is out!! Time Bomb # 3 is out!! I went to my local comic shop today (12/15/2010) & to my surprise, there it was....Paul's latest comic & the last installment of the Time Bomb saga. It wasn't even on the Diamond Comics Distributor's list of comics due out today. Well, I bought 2 copies. Now to relax & read them.

         Back in 1982, a great movie was out. In 7 days from now, the sequel will be out in the U.S.A.!

Hi Matt!

    I just want to let everyone know that the Sci-Spy: The Complete Series TPB came out today (12/8/2010). Image Comics put a nice package together with good quality paper & Gulacy covers on the front & back. Paul's covers were taken from the cover art to issues # 1 & 2 of the original series. The glossy paper in the TPB really makes the art and colors shine. The paper quality is the same as that of the James Bond: Serpent's Tooth series.

    The only thing that might have made this collection better was if they had Paul or Doug write an introduction with their thoughts & comments about the series.

                Dave

Hi Matt!

    The latest edition of Previews reports that the Time Bomb TPB due out in February of 2011 will include never-before-seen designs & character sketches by Paul Gulacy for the series. It will also include an interview with Jimmy Palmiotti & Justin Gray about the series. This adds a little extra bonus to the collection. I'm looking forward to it.

Hi Matt!

    Two pieces of Gulacy news this time:

    First, Paul's commission art of Buckaroo Banzai from 2009 for a private collector was used as the cover to an on-line newsletter called, "World Watch One" which is dated June 2010. Paul's art & the newsletter can be viewed at www.figmentfly.com/bb/newsletters/ww1_jun10.pdf

    Second, Back Issue # 43, which was released 2 weeks ago, features Paul's art & comments regarding his Shanna the She-Devil series from Marvel Comics Presents # 68-77 in 1991. Gerard Jones, the writer of that series, also contributes his comments about working with Paul on the series.

                Dave

         And the winner is Renaud from Quebec! It's page 33. Merci!

         I'm working on the site a little bit. It's been like 14 years that I'm collecting tons and tons of data. Today the site is 830Mo big. So I'm cleaning it a bit. If you find dead links, or ghost pictures, just warn me. Thanks for your help.

         By the way, can you tell me wich page this scan is coming from Turok issue #33?

         I guys.

Hi Matt!

    Here is the cover to the recently canceled "Captain Action: A Call to Action TPB" which would have collected issues # 0-5. As you'll notice, they recolored Paul's cover to Captain Action # 5. I actually like the "blue" look.

                Dave

    Hi Matt!

    Check out the following site for a Time Bomb Video Interview with Paul & Jimmy Palmiotti that was conducted at the 2010 San Diego Comicon by Fanboy. It was posted on August 11, 2010 at the Radical website

         A Last Really Late Take On Comicon-

         Hi everybody.

         My thoughts on this last Comicon experience left me wondering where and what this show is to become in the future after reading the president of Comicon's column in the program booklet it sounds very likely that San Diego may lose this juggernaut convention to Los Angeles as soon as next year.Anahiem was also mentioned.Can these cities actually accommodate 15 0,000 people in need of food and lodging? Another point could be the catering to the TV anf film industry which is becoming more and more a very prevalent aspect of this show.

         On the other hand, the convenience of keeping it in the L.A. area would make sense.In my opinion,the ideal venue and to strike a balance would be to throw it in Las Vegas.They would embrace Comicon with neon open arms. Less crowded and more space to move around. You would get an even bigger draw with more deals for the folks coming in from the east coast and overseas.
         Anyhoo, my wife Nanci and I arrived on Friday morning and left Sunday evening. On Saturday i finally put the names with the faces of the folks of the Radical Publishing staff that I've been working with for the past eight months. Jimmy Palmiotti and I signed Time Bomb and handed out posters. I'm enjoying working for this group. A good crowd on hand greeting us. Lots of interviews. Later in the day, Nanci and I strolled the city and took in some much needed downtime by our hotel pool. In the evening we hooked up with Jimmy, Amanda, and a gang from Radical at the Hard Rock Hotel where we joined the Ain't It Cool News head geek Harry Knowles for drinks.

         Later, Tim Bradstreet, David Mack and a bunch of nuts I've known for years gathered up on the jam packed roof bar. The late bicycle taxi rid back to our hotel in heavy traffic was pretty trippy to put it mildly. Sunday was a lot of "Where am I?" at the con. Signing again with Jimmy at Radical. A highlight was meeting Ben Roberts-Vice President and head of development at Gale Ellen Hurd's company Valhalla. Something is brewing. It's early, It's exciting and I'll just say it in three words without jinxing anythi ng-Six From Sirius.
         Lastly, at the airport, we ran into good friend and head Dark Horse honcho Mike Richardson. He was heading north, we were heading south. He managed to blurt out that they are doing another Crimson Empire book and invited me to do the art. Two days ago we wrapped up a deal over the phone and it looks like that's my next project after I finish up Time Bomb. I'll be doing pencils and inks on this one.

         Im going to need the Force to get through this one.

         Take care,

                  Paul

Hi Matt!

    2 pieces of Gulacy news this time.

    1) The Captain Action TPB titled "Captain Action: A Call to Action" (which collects issues # 0-5) has been canceled by the publisher due to low orders. Paul's cover to issue # 5 of Captain Action (with variant colors) would have been used as the cover to this TPB. Previews reported this cancellation this month.

    2) An Italian HC which collects the 3 "Batman Versus Predator" miniseries was published in 2008 and it features a previously unused Gulacy cover (see attached scan). This artwork was previously used as the cover to Previews Vol. 4, # 8 in August 1994 and as a pin-up page in the Batman versus Predator II: Bloodmatch TPB. This year, the Spanish edition HC of this book has been released with the same cover & the title listed as "Batman Versus Depredador" (see additional scan). Both books are published by Planeta DeAgostini, a foreign imprint for DC and Dark Horse Comics.

         Hi! I'll be out of town for three weeks. Do not expect an update before the 23rd of july. Take Care.

Hi Matt!

    The latest issue of Previews (# 262- July 2010) includes an 11" x 16" color promo poster for Time Bomb # 3 featuring Paul's cover art to that issue. It's very cool. Time Bomb # 3 is scheduled to come out in September of 2010.

                Dave

Hi Matt!

    Here is the cover to Time Bomb # 1 with art by Paul. This cover is now being featured on the Radical Publishing website.

                Dave

    Last year, when the project was announced, the artist for the project had yet to be found. What led to Paul coming onboard? You all having worked together on a few issues of Jonah Hex?
    JIMMY : it was as simple as asking… I’m sure there was much more to it at Radical and getting Paul’s schedule to work.
    PAUL : I actually came across an article about Time Bomb on the Radical website (www.radicalpublishing.com). I thought the original cover mock up was pretty striking. I assumed that the book was already in progress or completed with another artist. I can't recall who contacted who in regards to Time Bomb, but right then I was simultaneously contacted by Axel Alonso's assistant editor for what he termed, "A special Cable project" at Marvel. The three oversized Time Bomb books sounded sweeter along with the storyline that Jimmy described to me. Plus the element of sci-fi captured my attention along with the great cast of heroes.


    (Jimmy and Justin) How does the secret Nazi city get discovered?
    JIMMY : The city below Berlin was discovered by accident while they were drilling a new tunnel for the subway there. They had a collapse below them and further investigation led to the discovery.


    (Jimmy and Justin) Where did the idea for the Omega Bomb come from, since, you know, it’s not like it’s based on historic fact?
    JIMMY : From the Beneath the Planet of the Apes movie…the last scene, where Chuck Heston is dooming the planet. We were trying to come up with a name for the type of world ender missile that would work and it was out there all the time. Hey, for the record, the first two Planet of the Apes are my favorite.


    What can you tell us about the main players of the book, i.e. the team going back in time? Are they a military unit used to going on missions?
    JIMMY : They are military and secret service as well as having a scientist in the group. They were selected as the most well rounded agents to deal with just about anything…and in this case it was a good thing they were. Only two of the characters have worked together before…and that’s because they were once married.


    What kind of modern equipment are they taking back with them through the time stream?
    JIMMY : The usual weapons and some sci-fi cutting edge stuff that we introduce in the third issue. We really didn’t want a huge contrast in tech… but when it happens, its worlds away from each other.
    PAUL : They're all using state of the art weaponry that is used in the global military today. No pulse rifles or photon torpedoes. The only outlandish device is the time machine.


    Where does it all go wrong, really, that the team ends up in the wrong time period?
    JIMMY : It goes wrong right away because they were only suppose to be sent back maybe a month or a year, but the experimental nature of the Time Bomb experiment… well… anything could go wrong. It was not a well worked out machine.


    Are comics ready for yet another World War II story? I mean, you really need a good twist to get people interested in Nazis anymore – they’ve been used one time too many as the ‘obvious’ bad guys.
    JIMMY : Are comics ready for another 400 superhero books coming out this month? Well… they are, so having one time traveling, Nazi war, sci-fi drama out there should be a good thing. The mash up of genres will really make a lot of people happy I think. There is really something here for everyone.
    PAUL : I've been wanting to do a WWII story forever. A couple of years back I pitched a really cool script written by Bob Burden to Tom Brevoort at Marvel that involved Captain America, Nick Fury and the Red Skull. It took place in 1945 China. I thought they'd jump all over it but I was told they already had an inventory of World War II stuff. The only comic I saw was Billy Tucci's Sgt. Rock: The Lost Battalion which I thought was awesome.
    Everything has been used too many times as bad guys [laughter]. What's new out there? Trends come and go. Quentin Tarantino didn't have a problem using Nazis. Everything boils down to a great storyline. When Jimmy described Time Bomb to me with the sci-fi twist it was like, "Sign me up!" It's a refreshing take and very entertaining new twist on an old genre. A terrific yarn with a great cast and to my knowledge I've never seen or read anything like it.


    Are you a sucker for World War II stories, films, documentaries, etc.?
    JIMMY : All wars really…especially WWII because my dad and his brothers fought in it. I am interested in all history. I find it completely fascinating and amazing how human beings keep making the same stupid mistakes over and over again.
    PAUL : When I was a kid, I grew up on TV shows like Combat, Rat Patrol and if you like World War II with a humorous twist, Hogan's Heroes. Plus everybody on the block played army. I couldn’t get enough of Sgt. Rock. I subscribed to it. I have some historic knowledge of that war but not thorough. My dad served in the navy back then. He was part of a team that helped clean up after the Pearl Harbor attack. I'm pretty geeked up on ordering the Nazi DVD series that was shown on the History Channel. It was a very bizarre and compelling event in human history. Unbelievable that anything like that actually took place. We reveal a lot of that in Time Bomb.

Hi Matt!

    With the release of the Jonah Hex movie coming up soon (June 18, 2010), I found it interesting to read Paul's comments on the movie & on his most recent issue of Jonah Hex (#43) in an interview done last year on the Newsarama website www.newsarama.com/comics/050906-Gulacy.html It's titled "Back in the Saddle: Paul Gulacy Returns to Jonah Hex". Enjoy!

    (W) Jimmy Palmiotti, Justin Gray

    Radical Publishing releases its latest action-adventure miniseries from the critically acclaimed creative team of Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray (Jonah Hex), with interior illustrations from multi-award winning industry veteran Paul Gulacy!
    A group of international scientists and archeologists on a publicly funded dig discover a hidden city beneath the streets of Berlin.
    Constructed as a failsafe option for the Nazi party should they lose the war, the city is also home to Hitler’s ultimate doomsday weapon – an Omega bomb designed to wipe out the human race – and it’s just been activated. Now, crews of scientists with state-of-the-art weapons and equipment must travel back in time to stop the bomb from going off.
    However, they soon discover that, rather than going back in time for 24 hours as intended, they’ve been sent back 65 years into the heart of Hitler’s Germany.

Hi Matt!

    Captain Action trading cards are being released in July 2010 by Moonstone Books & Captain Action Enterprises and guess who contibuted... Paul of course. In the ad for the trading cards, you'll notice Card # 36 which includes Paul's cover to Lady Action # 1. It is likely that Paul's two Captain Action covers (# 0 and # 5) will also be included in these trading cards, although I don't know this for sure. The complete set is scheduled to include 50 cards. See the upcoming May issue of Previews for the solicitation ad.

    Also, last year, Moonstone Books & 5Finity Productions released the Moonstone Maximum Sketch Card Series. Over 100 artists contributed to the various sketch cards that were included in assorted packs of cards. Paul's original art card was of Captain Action and it was listed as a Maximum Rare card which means there was only 1 card done by Paul & signed by him, which was included in a random pack. That will be one lucky fan

    I'm also looking forward to May 1st and Free Comic Book Day when Radical Publishing will be giving away their Radical: Bigger Books! Bigger Value! FCBD comic which will include an 8-page preview of Paul's Time Bomb comic series. Time Bomb # 1 is not due out until September 2010.
