The Purple Pinup Guru Platform

When purple things are pulsating on your mind, I'm the one whose clock you want to clean. Aiding is Sparky, the Astral Plane Zen Pup Dog from his mountain stronghold on the Northernmost Island of the Happy Ninja Island chain, this blog will also act as a journal to my wacky antics at an entertainment company and the progress of my self published comic book, The Deposit Man which only appears when I damn well feel like it. Real Soon Now.

Sparky says:
FREE COMIC BOOK DAY
IS COMING!


One has to assume this reaches beyond the wonderful San Fernando Valley AKA ''The Valley of Death'' ... So let us highlight GT Labs!


The good stuff
GT Labs' Brainier Comic Books

Jim Ottaviani wrote Sparky and asked:

Do you like getting great comics, for free? If so, you'll want to visit your local comic book store for Free Comic Book Day this weekend, and if you're in the Twin Cities or Motor City area, you can meet the creators at the "Brains Across the Midwest" appearances.

On Saturday, May 7, hundreds of comic book specialty stores are offering great comics, for free, including a preview of the new graphic novel from G.T. Labs:

Bone Sharps, Cowboys, and Thunder Lizards:
Edwin Drinker Cope, Othniel Charles Marsh,
and the Gilded Age of Paleontology


The full sub-title gives you a taste of what you'll see in the book...

Guest Starring The World-Renowned Artist Charles R. Knight, Chief Red Cloud & Hundreds of His Indian Braves, the Gun-Totin' & Gamblin' Professor John Bell Hatcher, Colossal & Stupefying Dinosauria of the New World, and Featuring Special Appearances by The Cardiff Giant, P.T. Barnum, Buffalo Bill Cody, Ulysses S. Grant, Alexander Graham Bell, and A Plentiful Supporting Cast of Rogues & Gallants from The Eastern Scientific Establishment and The Old West.

That's probably more then enough to whet your appetite for this amazing tale, so be sure to find a participating store using the handy Participating Shop Locator and head on out to grab a copy while supplies last.

BONUS!

Just look at the lovely cover!
