San Diego Comic-Con goings-on!<br />
<span id="more-1099"></span><br />
Dylan, Levon, <a href="http://iwilldestroyyounews.blogspot.com/">Tom</a>, Michelle and I will try to do some up-to-the-second Comic-Con blogging at <a href="http://komicspump.blogspot.com">Funny Towne Humor Pump</a>.</p>
<p>Get a load of the excitment from your friend and my publisher by reading <a href="http://sparkplugcomicbooks.blogspot.com/2010/07/lemon-styles-and-heavy-hand-premiere-at.html">Sparkplug&#8217;s Comic-Con blog post</a>. At the booth (#1630) there will be new Sparkplug comics (Chris Cilla&#8217;s <i>The Heavy Hand</i> and <i>Lemon Styles</i>, specifically), back issues, and bargain-priced books from your favorite authors that I want to get rid of. I also have some prints of <a href="http://coveredblog.blogspot.com/2009/07/david-king-covers-supermans-pal-jimmy.html">the Jimmy Olsen cover</a> I drew last year, let&#8217;s say they&#8217;re $20. I&#8217;ll have some copies of <em><strong>Crime World</strong></em>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.reliablecomics.com/2010/07/lemon_styles_new/">Here&#8217;s</a> all the info regarding my new comic book, <em>Lemon Styles</em> that will make its worldwide debut at San Diego Comic-Con.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-982" title="appdept_sm" src="http://www.reliablecomics.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/appdept_sm.png" alt="" width="364" height="66" /><br />
I&#8217;ll be at the Sparkplug Comic Books booth from <b>10am to 2pm</b> probably every day of Comic-Con if you wish to give me money so I can become a famous millionaire, or I might be willing to autograph your body parts if they are round/large/veiny enough.</p>

Announcing my new book of <em>Laugh Menu</em> comics, <strong><em>Lemon Styles</em></strong>!</p>

<font size=1><em>40pp, 10in x 10in, B&amp;W with some spot color, $9.00 from <a href="http://www.sparkplugcomicbooks.com">Sparkplug Comics</a></em></font></p>
<p>We&#8217;ll have it for sale at San Diego Comic-Con Int&#8217;l and <a href="http://www.sparkpugcomicbooks.com">Sparkplug</a>&#8217;s subsequent comic festival appearances this year.</p>
<p>I have a PDF for download for reviewers, request one through <a href="mailto:david@reliablecomics.com">email</a>.</p>
<p>Also as part of the multi-media marketing blitz I put together a TV commercial. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kingkomics/4729851798/">Check it out on Flickr, it&#8217;s in <strong>HD</strong></a>:</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="364" height="205" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="data" value="http://www.flickr.com/apps/video/stewart.swf?v=71377" /><param name="flashvars" value="intl_lang=en-us&amp;photo_secret=d67778db2f&amp;photo_id=4729851798" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="src" value="http://www.flickr.com/apps/video/stewart.swf?v=71377" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="364" height="205" src="http://www.flickr.com/apps/video/stewart.swf?v=71377" allowfullscreen="true" bgcolor="#000000" flashvars="intl_lang=en-us&amp;photo_secret=d67778db2f&amp;photo_id=4729851798" data="http://www.flickr.com/apps/video/stewart.swf?v=71377"></embed></object></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the ad copy/sales pitch:</p>
<blockquote><p>Do you like stories about feeling good? Stories about feeling lousy? How about drawings of train cars and fishing boats? These subjects and more are included in <strong><em>Lemon Styles</em></strong> by David King. There is backstabbing, infidelity, murder, fear, menacing insinuation, and other stuff that will make you laugh laugh laugh. Lots of people have said they like these comics! </p>
<p><strong><em>Lemon Styles</em></strong>&#8216; collection of single page comic strips and one multi-page romantic odyssey aggregate to create 40 large pages of violence and illustrated pleasures that are lots more cranky and cynical than King&#8217;s previous (Ignatz Award nominated) collection, <em>Danny Dutch</em> (still for sale from <a href="http://www.sparkplugcomicbooks.com">SPARKPLUG COMIC BOOKS</a>), and funnier, too. An improvement in every way over anything David King has ever done &#8212; so how can you lose??</p></blockquote>
<p>Please feel free to share the video and info on all your favorite social media sites and help me become a famous millionaire.</p>
