MIKE GRELL ANSWERS 15 QUESTIONS WITH JULINDA MORROW

“Mike Grell is an original. His distinctive blend of masculine heroes, exotic locales, action and adventure is unmistakable. He is, in many ways, a modern day cohort of Mickey Spillane, Jules Verne, Edgar Rice Burroughs and Lester Dent.

… Mike graciously responded in record time for this inaugural edition of 15 Questions. Remember to click on Mike’s gallery at the end of this interview – ’cause, boy, can this man draw!” click here for the 15 answers …

RE: Comic-Con Peru

I can’t tell you how disappointed I am that the failure of the promoters to fulfill the terms of our contract has forced the cancellation of my appearance at Comic-Con Peru. I know that disappointment is shared by fans and dealers who planned to attend the show. We were looking forward to coming to Peru to meet the fans and have an opportunity to see a country I’ve wanted to visit since I was a boy. I can only hope that, at some future date, an established and respectable promoter will organize another event and invite us to attend.

Official Press Release – for immediate release 

RE: Comic-Con Peru

FROM: Derek Maki – President of Coolwaters Productions LLC

DATE: February 22, 2012

Coolwaters Productions LLC wants to extend its deepest apologies to the fans in Peru who were planning on attending the Comic-Con Peru event that was scheduled to take place on March 30 to April 1, 2012 at the Coliseo Eduardo Dibos in Peru. Unfortunately the event will not be taking place and Coolwaters wants to assure the fans that the cancelation was not due to any fault of the Coolwaters staff nor its clients who were scheduled to attend the event.

Actors Billy Dee Williams (Lando Calrissian from the STAR WARS films) and Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca from the STAR WARS films) and comic book artist Mike Grell (Green Arrow & Warlord) were all scheduled to make an appearance at the event. (more…)

MORE PRAISE FOR SHAMAN’S TEARS

Joshua Brand is the hero that Indian Country needs. Shaman’s Tears is a near perfect blend of the delicate and failing balance of new world apathy and old world spirituality, where responsibility to the tribe is losing to the selfishness of the individual. It reminds us that there is a far larger world that needs to be attended to than our own personal issues, and it is time we return to that, which we do through the character Joshua Brand. In true Mike Grell classic fashion, not only does this book teach us many lessons, but it is a damn good read with beautiful and amazing art. Must read, for Natives and non-Natives alike, but especially for Natives! You don’t have to have red skin to have a red heart and journey the red road.

PRAISE FOR SHAMAN’S TEARS

The world needs more (RED) heroes…

SHAMAN’S TEARS is one of the works examined in my, “Native Americans in Comic Books: A Critical Study,” which looks at how well the pop culture medium of comic books has represented Native characters throughout the years. Mike Grell’s comic is rich in its treatment of complex Native American comic book characters and the new SHAMAN’S TEARS OMNIBUS from IDW will certainly draw a readership of old diehards as well as new fans of Grell’s Indigenous character.

It’s great to see Grell’s work again as he (more…)
