Eisner Nominee seal

Two bits of good news for me and Scratch9 came down earlier this month.

First up, the book got nominated in four categories in the  29th annual Comics Buyer’s Guide Fan Awards!

The comic is up for “Favorite Comic Book or Mini Series” and “Favorite Story”. Jason Kruse is up for “Favorite Cover Artist.” And I’m nominated for “Favorite Writer.” Cool!

Lets hope some of the fans vote for us.

Right after that we learned that we’ve been nominated for a Will Eisner Comic Industry Award! We got a nod in the “Best Publication for Kids” category along with five other great comics.

Such an amazing honor! I would be nice to win one of them, but it really is a thrill just to be nominated.

Worley http://www.robworley.com/?p=1082 Entering into a top-secret pact with Shannon Denton, Jon Lewis and Phil Hester is risky business. But I have. And now Comic Book Resources has exposed our secret society with their article:

Meet Agent of D.A.N.G.E.R.

That’s right. I’m an Agent of D.A.N.G.E.R. That’s the name of our little think tank/writers studio. We’ll be generating family-friendly books, comics and stories from our secret clubhouse at the bottom of an undisclosed body of water.

My first two AoD titles are. All Robots Must Die and Adventure-O-Matic! Hit AgentOfDanger.com for more info. For now, here is some preliminary artwork from both:

We have adventure. We have humor. And best of all, we have everyone’s favorite characters, from Cadbury to Irona to Dollar.”

Today, Ape Entertainment and Classic Media announced the creative teams on the new Richie Rich series that will reimagine the classic cartoon and comic book character. Artists include Tina Francisco, Jack Lawrence, Armando Zanker, James Silvani, Iwan Nazif, and more! Writers include Tom DeFalco, Bill Williams, Buddy Scalera, Brent E. Erwin, Jason M. Burns, Matt Anderson, Rob Worley, and more!

For fans of the original Harvey Comics series, the creative team of Sid Jacobson and Ernie Colon revisit the characters they helped to make famous, returning with two, all-new stories!
