15 year-old Frank Fizzle wishes his father, Jasper, had just ONE original idea. Jasper, however, is determined to continue L. Frank Baum’s famous Oz stories, and be the new “Royal Historian of Oz.” The problem is that in the year 2050, after over a century of countless re-imaginings and retellings, the dastardly “Official Oz Society” has issued a strict cease & desist order to make people STOP using Baum’s creations. When Jasper discovers that Oz really exists, he makes a rather large error in judgment. Suddenly the Fizzles must go on the run with their otherworldly “cabinet of curiosities,” as Jasper is now a criminal in two worlds. It’s Frank, though, who finds himself caught in the middle, and doomed to pay for the “sins of the father”—at the hands of the axe-wielding Tin-Man and the crazy Patchwork Girl. Can Frank save the day and redeem the Fizzle family name, or will the drizzly ghost of the Wicked Witch of the West destroy them all?

Issue #1 coming June 2010!

"The Royal Historian of Oz"

a 5-issue series published by SLG Inc.

written by Tommy Kovac

Written and illustrated by Tommy Kovac

Fate and dark magics come to an isolated village in the form of a mysterious and powerful girl named Autumn, and her companion, a shape-shifting squirrel named Widdershin.  They befriend Splinter, a recluse who lives in a house set high in a tree.  Secrets, love, and murder will blossom.  Meanwhile, a monstrous being watches from the demon-choked boughs of the Black Wood…  “Autumn” is ultimately a story of betrayal and redemption, and the search to discover what lies buried deep inside.

For my loyal fans, don't worry.  Autumn's story is not forever dead.  Just on hiatus while I figure out the best format to finish it in, considering my very busy "real life" schedule, and other real life stuff.  Do not despair!  :)

SNEAK PREVIEW

Skelebunnies!

Written and illustrated by Tommy Kovac

This brother and sister bunny duo were once living, giggling bunnies.  Now that they're supernatural horrors, they're giggling even more!  Watch as they horrify the creatures of the forest with their inappropriate behavior.  By turns silly and appalling, these tales will curl your hair AND your lip.

SKELEBUNNIES COMPLETE COLLECTION (graphic novel containing all three issues, plus buttloads of bonus materials and BRAND NEW ADVENTURES) available NOW from SLG, Inc!!!  It'll blow your nuts off.

*For special guide to Skelebunnies issue number confusion, see below!

Stitch is an eerie, comic tale of loneliness and dark magic, of old age and youthful angst.  Stitch and his rag doll family are trapped in the attic of an old house by the mysterious Granny Pairley.  Menaced by a pair of nasty fairies called the Benders, and taunted by the very stinky Yum-Tum Bear, Stitch and his friend Sock Monkey try to find a way out of the playroom.  Along come the ghastly puppets Voodoo Dolly and Tinybones... BEWARE!

Stitch was originally published in the four single issues you see at right, and then collected as a 96-page graphic novel.

STITCH (graphic novel) will be re-released in March 2009 from SLG, Inc. in manga-size format, with new bonus materials.

* As promised, here's the special guide to Skelebunnies issue number confusion!

Skelebunnies Spanktacular is technically #0, because it collects the first Skelebunnies adventures, including their origin, as seen originally in the Stitch series.

This is #1.  The first whole comic devoted to the Skelebunnies.

Skelebunnies: Please Don't Eat the Babies is #2.  (But the 3rd Skelebunnies comic to be published, because of #0)

WHAT WENT WRONG? Well, I don't know.  Somehow, somewhere along the way, all 3 of these comics ended up being printed as "#1."  Hence the confusion, and the questions I still get about it.  This is why I encourage people to distinguish them THIS way:  Skelebunnies Spanktacular, Skelebunnies #1, and Skelebunnies: Please Don't Eat the Babies.  See how different they sound?
