Here they are... All of them. At least for now!

Mike Mignola, HELLBOY's creator, is one of those comic artists that you want to hate but can't because, damn it, he's too good! Much like the previously mentioned Jaime Hernandez, Mignola has a masterful sense of balancing black and white on a page...but unlike Jaime, Mignola keeps his lines crude and awkward. Mignola loves to draw monsters and, lucky for us, he draws one helluva beast. Despite the efficient ways of his minimal art style his interpretation of creatures inspired by various bits of folklore feel unique, beautiful, and timeless.Hellboy has become quite the franchise. Unfortunately, for me, none of the various incarnations of Hellboy and his universe capture the feel of Mignola's original comic. With Mignola's continual creative involvement the Hellboy movie, animations, and spin-off books have all faithfully embraced the spirit of the character. Sadly they all completely miss the zen like pacing and beauty in Mignola's comic pages that makes Hellboy different from anything else on the market.

In 1986, long before anybody was aware of the craziness of Chinese films, John Carpenter directed BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA which was his homage to the Chinese cinema. This is one of my favorite cult movies and one of Gobi's main inspiration. While I'm writing TEQUILA, he calls me saying that he wants to have Jack Burton (the main character) to be friend with Tequila. I explained him that it could be complicated, there's probably an authorization needed but he didn't care, he told me to call John Carpenter and ask him... Yeah right! Here's the trailer.

El Panda Sweet & Sour made his "acting" debut this past Sunday on Showtime's "L WORD" show. It was pretty surreal seeing our toy on a television show! You can see the scene from YouTube below. It starts at roughly 3:20. If you have Showtime, you may still be able to catch a repeat. It's the 11th episode of L Words 4th season. The Episode's title is "Literary License To Kill". The El Panda bit starts around 20 minutes into the show.
