Words from our friends the Wade’s at MAW Productions:

Shinobi: Ninja Princess – Illuminations

The holidays are upon us and what better way to celebrate than with the Ninja Princess, herself, as she takes in a little downtime for Christmas in New Tokyo. However, when she sees her fellow teammate, Hamasuke, sneaking around the Tokyo streets, their adventure takes them from the Christmas Illuminations of the city to the fighting game community of a local arcade and a crazed Otaku bent on videogame domination.Order your issue here and get a Christmas card and sketch with each book.

We currently have two (2) manga inspired series going on right now (Shinobi: Ninja Princess and Jetta: Tales of the Toshigawa) with a third (Iron Ninja 5) in the works now.

You can read more about the Wade’s and their The Art of Family origin story in Memphis Parent magazine…

…or in Memphis Magazine – by .

You can also find Jetta and Shinobi books at local comic shops. Look for them and other locally produced comics at Comics & Collectibles, The Cellar, and 901 Comics (midtown and east). If you don’t see them, be sure to ask if they can order them for you, or add to your subscription/pull-box list. Don’t have a hold box..? Then check with the shop about starting one so you don’t miss out on any future releases. It also helps the shops know what to order and how many of each issue.

Playing Doctor With Writer John Ostrander

Leave a comment

There’s a new episode of the “Drawing Funny” podcast available – Episode 26: “John Ostrander”.

This episode, Nicki Workman and I (Lin) sit down for a comics conversation with the legendary writer (and actor) John Ostrander.

We discuss his origin story of reading comics in Chicago and then creating comics and characters- including his creator owned books Grim Jack, Hexer Dusk (with Jan Duursema), and Kros (with Tom Mandrake).

We also discuss his cool cameo as Dr. Fitzgibbon in the upcoming The Suicide Squad movie by James Gunn, creating Amanda Waller, an Easter egg in the previous Suicide Squad movie, and his previous acting in Chicago theater.

Look for John and The Suicide Squad on the BIG screen in theaters and on HBO Max this August 6th.

You can listen to the episode on most podcast platforms such as Apple, Google, Sticher, Anchor, and others- or just go directly to www.drawingfunny.com and listen to episode 26 from there.

Oh, I got busy editing the last two episodes, so I forgot to post here about my “HEROINEBUGH” episode!

“HEROINEBURGH” is a live-action episodic video series and a printed comic book series (and created in that order). The stories are about a universe of superpowered females in a fantastical version of Pittsburgh.

Oh, and Martheus and Janet Wade have got a new He-Man/Castle Greyskull WADE’S WORLD video up on YouTube. Kevin Williams is running the camera while Martheus shows off his new plastic precious. If you’d like to own some of their merch check out their STORENVY Toshigawa Universe shop.

I’ve got a couple sketchcard gigs and other art projects I need to finish up, so it’ll probably be at least a couple weeks before I record/upload another Drawing Funny episode. I do plan on doing some recording while in Metropolis for the upcoming Superman Celebration.

Stay tooned!
