Releasing in Spring 2008, Local Heroes: Monkey Business will be a comic-sized coloring book that includes all the strips of that appeared online from strip 89 to strip 123—that's every strip in storyline 6.

Hurm News: Staple 2008 and Me!
Submitted by Keith Quinn on February 24, 2008 - 01:34
One week from today, on Saturday, March 1, I'll be at a comic book convention called Staple! The Independent Media Expo. It'll be in Austin, Texas at the Monarch Event Center. The doors open at 11:00am, and I'll be there all day, in a little corner of the building that I like to call "table 12b."
Zuda Contracts Now Available
Submitted by Keith Quinn on September 24, 2007 - 08:54
Zuda Comics, a website service of DC Comics, has finally posted their contracts. There are three of them:
- the Submission Agreement (for anyone whose art appears at Zuda),
- the Rights Agreement (which details the rights of creators who have "won" the Zuda contest and will be having their work published),
- and the Services Agreement (also for winning creators, except this covers the "consideration" that a creator will receive for their efforts).
[XEREXES: T Campbell had a few thoughts on this at his blog. And Joey Manley makes the good point of getting legal advice before submitting to Zuda. He also links to the NY chapter of Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts who do indeed provide cheap to free legal advice to artists. There are Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts chapters all over the country actually - here's a listing of many. Lastly, Gary Tyrrell links to the Zuda contracts and then offers some comments on the Submission Agreement.]
Announcing Playtime Projects

Happy Birthday to Local Heroes!
Submitted by Keith Quinn on May 1, 2006 - 17:05
Local Heroes, my online comic strip which was recently reviewed by Xaviar Xerexes, is celebrating its one year anniversary today! To celebrate the event, I created an American Spirit t-shirt and reprinted my two-part Heroes Incorporated® story from 1995 (along with eight pages of the never-published third part).
I look forward to another year (and more!) of sharing the thrilling adventures of the sensational Squire and UNIONS Local Chapter 37!
