A washed-up comic book writer must scrape together enough cash to pay off Lithuanian mobsters in this totally fictional true story that’s perfect for fans of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Once upon a time, he and his brother birthed a worldwide phenomenon, self-publishing a crazy indie comic about crime-fighting cat-girls. Now…Books is hitting his forties (hard), the money all gone, artistic inspiration tapped out, beset on all sides…and trying to recover from his catastrophic encounter with the hit-and-run driver called early success. DRAWING BLOOD follows a cartoonist whose real life has become more absurd and action-packed than any comic book story he could dream up! This trade collects all four issues of the first volume of DRAWING BLOOD, and as an added bonus, the origin issue of Books' creation, the RADICALLY REARRANGED RONIN RAGDOLLS! Straight from 1992, it's the first adventure of America's favorite ferocious felines! 122 pages of comic stories, plus additional behind-the-scenes extras showing the evolution of the project. From the bestselling mind of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles co-creator KEVIN EASTMAN comes the totally fictional true story of comics creator SHANE BOOKS BOOKMAN, a cartoonist on the skids. Co-created by EASTMAN and DAVID AVALLONE (Elvira, Batwheels, scripts by AVALLONE, art by BEN BISHOP (The Aggregate, TMNT The Last Ronin, TROY LITTLE (Rick and Morty, and KEVIN EASTMAN. Featuring additional content by DAVE ACOSTA, AMANDA DEIBERT, SKYLAR PATRIDGE, and ELLIE WRIGHT. Collects DRAWING BLOOD #1-4 plus the 32-page RADICALLY REARRANGED RONIN RAGDOLLS origin comic. Select praise for DRAWING BLOOD: Parallels to EASTMAN's life are as bombastically drawn as his own Ninja Turtles, which coincidentally rocketed from a self-published zine to blockbuster franchise almost overnight. Bishop's dynamic art emphasizes the pathos and humor in Bookman's tale of depravity and redemption. (The real first issue of the Ragdolls' comics, drawn by Rick & Morty animator Troy Little, is a fun bonus.) Diehard Ninja Turtle fans will appreciate the Easter eggs from Eastman's notorious biography, while casual readers will be drawn in by a saga that's equal parts aspirational and cautionary. It's a wild ride in the weird world of comics. - Publishers Weekly Takes turns that readers won’t expect, delivering a fast-paced, sometimes funny, and fearlessly crafted portrait about the pitfalls of fame. In all honesty, this book makes the perfect parallel to CHIP ZDARSKY’s PUBLIC DOMAIN, especially in terms of subject matter. -AIPT
