The Parting of Ways

by Richard Pulfer

coyote_1_text.jpgI know this is the most abrupt departure ever . . . even for the Internet, but I have to leave.

I have just landed a steady job - something I’ve been struggling to do all through my tenure here - but the training leaves me with little time to update this site.

I knew for quite a while this rift was going to be coming. Somewhere once - don’t ask me for exact quotes - comic book historian Peter Sanderson commented on the difference between those who want to write about comic books and those who want to write comic books, no matter what the success level. I have always considered myself in the latter category. Even now, I’m looking forward to publishing Pierced in the December issue of Mysterious Visions Anthology. I’ve also just seen the first page of a script I wrote illustrated by the incomparable Nick Volkert, to be included in Demon Tweak Presents, an insert of the band of the same name. You can see the results to the right - and pick their CD to see the rest, whenever it debuts.

I want to send a big shout-out to fellow 451 bloggers like Paul at Toybender, Daniel Perez, Dave Parrack, Keith R., and the many other bloggers who made me feel welcome within the 451 community - a great place to work!

As for me, you can look forward to weekly Comics Rundown blog on Way of the Geek as well as a couple other places . . . though I don’t want to count any chickens before they hatch. Mainly, I just want to be thankful for the golden eggs this place has given me.

Thanks to everyone for making this blog a great place to read every day!

    It was great reading your stuff! Good luck on the Pierced project you have going on, I am going to be keeping an eye out on it (I have the dimestore page open in another window, trying to find when I can pick the book up)

    Thanks, Paco!

    The book will ship in December as part of the Mysterious Visions Anthology - I’m not sure what number. It also contains stories from projects Thieves and Pinnacle.

    Thanks for all your comments and feedback over the year!

About Comic Book Journal

Where do capes and cowls end and horror and noir begin? What's more important: the four-color panels, or the letter balloons within them? Did comics really begin in cave walls, or just in the Sunday morning cartoons? What the heck is a graphic novel? These questions and more are answered in the Comic Book Journal, the place between the page and the panel, the motion line and the sound byte, the superhero and the every(wo)man.
