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.

    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.
