You heard it HERE FIRST... TSSTG news....

TRUE STORY, SWEAR TO GOD #17 will be my last issue under my label "Clib's Boy Comics" and THAT'S because:

WE'RE MOVING TO IMAGE!!

Yep, I'll be signing the contract next week and TSSTG will bear the symbol of the mighty "I" in the corner of the cover. This is a very huge deal to me, personally, because it eliminates things like production costs, shipping, storage, etc... and allows me to just focus on making the books.

Image also gives me a spot in the front of previews, which is great for sales, since I'm buried in the middle of that huge thing.

And most of all... it's really a cool group of people at Image. I got to meet everyone there at Wondercon in San Francisco last month and they're all great. In fact, I've been told on more than one occassion that I have an uncanny resemblence to Art Adams. That was reinforced when Mike Allred spun me around and tried to give me a huge man-hug at the con. He yelled out a "DUUUUUDE" before stopping, holding his arms out for about a minute before I said "I'm not Art." It was hilarious. I've even been asked to sign a few copies of Fantastic Four from fans who thought I was him.

SooooOOOooooo anyhoo... look for TSSTG #1 by Image in August. Believe it or not, I'm going to attempt to go monthly on this series and hopefully, you'll all dig it. It's really an amazing feeling to know that a company as big as Image would have an interest in my own work and I'm looking forward to being part of the I-Team!!

More info to come!!

Not to mention that you can have crossovers with characters like Spawn and Savage Dragon.*




* I have no clue if SPAWN and SAVAGE DRAGON are still being published under the Image banner or if they jumped ship like most of the original Image books.

Fantastic news, Tom. Good for you!

Though, I admit to hoping you'd be going to Marvel/Icon, just to goose Goddard a bit.
