5 Things To Know! Jason Howard

Welcome Friends!

This is a new, on-going segment we'll be running only on the Skybound site: 5 Things to Know.  Every week, we'll be chatting with some of your favorite folks who are making your favorite comics.  To kick off, we asked SUPER DINOSAUR co-creator Jason Howard to throw down with us.  Read below, and I hope you get as much a kick out of this as I do!

5 Things To Know: Jason Howard

"The first comic book I remember reading was Tin Tin. The second was Spider-Man.

"My first published art in a comic was in the letters pages of Savage Dragon #17.

"I never had an art class in high school.

"Non comics authors whose books I have enjoyed recently are Scott Sigler and Brandon Sanderson.

"In college I signed up for a ping pong class. Due to my schedule I had to drop it before ever attending. Its a big regret."

CONTEST: NAME THAT SUPER DINOSAUR LETTERS COLUMN

Hi All,

I mentioned this in the last SUPER DINOSAUR lettercol, but I wanted to open it up to the world wide web before closing the contest completely.

We’re running a contest to name the letters column.  Like THE WALKING DEAD (Letter Hacks), INVINCIBLE (Invincipals), WITCH DOCTOR (Doctor’s Notes), we want SD to have a unique title that reflects the fun letters you all write in.

THE PRIZE:

One lucky contestant will get loads of free Super Dinosaur goodies, including Volume 1 signed by Robert Kirkman, the Super Dinosaur Coloring Book, a Super Dinosaur t-shirt AND an original page of artwork by co-creator and artist Jason Howard. 

HOW TO ENTER:
Easy, just be a Dino Pal and send your submissions to mail@superdinosaur.com

DEADLINE:
February 1^st, end of day.

Best of luck, you’re already competing with such greats like “Tyrannosaurus Text,” and “REXpress Mail.”

Los Muertos Vivientes

One of the coolest aspects of my job is dealing with Skybound’s foreign licensing.  For those of you that don’t know, The Walking Dead is pretty popular. And that popularity isn’t restricted to just the US.  Currently The Walking Dead is translated into more than 30 languages in over 50 territories all over the world. 

As we started moving into our new offices, I raided our vaults and found a ton of our foreign books for my bookshelves.

It's a Crime; Sina on Thief of Thieves

I want to be the first to say this ridiculous pun:

Thief of Thieves will steal your heart.

We’re taking the first issue of Thief of Thieves to the printer this week, and I wanted to share both a small story about my infatuation with the project, and also show some sketches that we’ve never put up anywhere.
