Last night I went to a talk at the 86th street Barnes and Noble put on by the New York Review of Books. It was Luc Sante (who wrote Low Life, which was a major reference for me writing the Pterodactyl Hunters) and Norman Rush discussing Georges Simenon, one of my favorite mystery/crime novelists.
It was very interesting. I was sketching while they spoke.
i have no more copies of the Pterodactyl Hunters. so the mail order is on hold. a sincere thanks to everyone who asked me for a copy and to those who reviewed it, especially the 11 o’clock comics podcast guys.
BUT!
i just made arrangements with the truly awesome Linco printers in Long Island City to print a second edition. so when i get the next batch i will let everyone know the new details and i can get back to mailing out copies.
Pterodactyl hunters got a little bit of airtime on the very good and very interesting comics podcast 11 o’clock comics. thanks to Vince B and the rest of the guys for the review!

Pterodactyl hunters is now available at Atomic Comics in Baltimore and will be arriving very soon at Quimby’s in Chicago. if you are find yourself in either of those cities you should check out either of those two very good bookstores.
Thanks to the awesome guys at We Are Ferocious for the write up and the really great pictures.
And please also check out the Daily Crosshatch and Meathaus!
The Pterodactyl Hunters (in the Gilded City) is all done and back from the printers. 36 page comic on newsprint. you can get them for free at desert island comics and spoonbill and sugartown book in williamsburg. or you can email me and i will mail you one if you send me two bucks to cover the postage.
This is the very very beginnings of my thesis project. Its a story about two brothers who hunt pterodactyls in 1904 New York City.
