That’s right, the official gift store for fans of writer John Schlim Jr (or perhaps just his family) is now open. You’ll find an ever-expanding selection of t-shirts, mugs, stickers, and more that celebrate the larger-than-life heroes and mind-boggling worlds found in his stories. Treat yourself to some Fablehaus swag and help lavish some well-deserved cash on the gifted artists that collaborate with him.

NAME THE BAND CONTEST!
That’s right, YOU can get in on the fun creating part of Goth Ghost Girl’s backstory by submitting your ideas for the name of her pop-punk band! Fronted by vocalist and guitarist Lilly O’Siris (who becomes everybody’s favorite ghost), the pop-punk band also includes lead guitarist Skunk, bassist Charlotte Taro, and drummer MacBeth. They blew up the charts with the release of their debut album titled “>GASP<“.
To submit your entry, visit Facebook.com/GothGhostGirl and send a private message with your band name ideas (as many as you like) along with your name and email address. Creator John Schlim Jr will select his favorite entry and that winner will get a $25 gift card to Jetpack Comics and their name listed in the book! Deadline is July 1, 2016.
Just a little visual reminder about the importance of May 7, 2016…
Outlaw Territory 3, the third volume in Image Comics’ series of graphic novels featuring comics set in the Old West, has been nominated for both a Will Eisner Comic Industry Award and a Harvey Award in the category of Best Anthology. The book was compiled and edited by Michael Woods, and among it’s offerings is the story, “Treasure,” written by John Schlim Jr and illustrated by comics legend Val Semeiks.
Sponsored by Showtime, the 2014 Eisner Awards will be presented in a gala event at this year’s Comic-Con International in San Diego. The awards are named after the late Will Eisner, who is regarded as the father of the modern graphic novel. A blue-ribbon committee selects nominees from thousands of entries submitted by publishers and creators, which are then voted on by members of the comic book industry.
The Harvey Awards are one of the comic book industry’s oldest and most respected awards, named after the late Harvey Kurtzman who is remembered as one of the industry’s most innovative talents. They are the only industry awards both nominated by and selected by the full body of comic book professionals. The 2014 Harvey Awards will be presented at this year’s Baltimore Comic-Con.
I lived in Maine briefly and like most of New England it is a treasure trove of historic villages and fascinating independent bookstores. Now Maine Magazine highlights six great bookstores in the Pine Tree State. Road trip!
