Compelling and Sexy

Well, issue three has been sent off to the printers and should be available sometime next week.

In the meantime, here's a sneak peek at the cover:

Delirium Issue 2 is on Sale NOW!!!

It's October and the second issue of Delirium is on sale now! Click HERE to BUY it now!

Here's the description:

Tentacle beasts and evil dolls guarding the entrance to a public library? Grisly experiments carried out by masked scientists as they search for the location of an ancient book that holds extraordinary power? Cute bunny monsters? These are just some of the sights you'll see when you enter the world of Delirium.

Delirium is an exciting new monthly comic from Nick Calavera showcasing detailed black and white art and stories focused on the strange and surreal.

Issue two features the continuation of the ongoing stories "Kingdom of Monsters" and "G.E.R.L."

In "Kingdom of Monsters," Tehra and her guardian angel face off against supernatural opponents as they continue their search for the elusive grimoire called the Book of the Black Seal.

Meanwhile, G.E.R.L.'s story continues when she wakes up from cryostasis and must fight her way out of a laboratory filled with scientists, soldiers, and unfeeling computers that have her scheduled for a vivisection.

If that's not enough to get you excited about Delirium, there's also an exclusive preview of issue number two at Newgrounds.com which you can get to by clicking on the thumbnails below:

 I'm really proud of both the art and the story in this issue and if you liked the first one you'll love this second issue.  The print run is 100 copies and there are currently no plans to do reprints so if you want yours, pick it up now before they're gone!

Out of Sequence

Well this is slightly out of the order of how I would normally post things but I sent issue number 2 off to the printer today so I wanted to post the cover and let everybody know that issue 2 will be available in October.

I hope the colors reproduce this way when it's printed but I'm actually unsure of what the conversion process will do to it.

This week has been a bit ridiculous in terms of what I was trying to do.  Monday I got an email telling me that Docucopies was offering a 15% discount on booklet printing through today and since that is not an insubstantial amount of money saved I felt the need to try and push the book to be ready to print by Friday.  Effectively, that meant that I was going to have to draw, ink, and scan 8 pages, including designing the cover, which would have to be colored.

It was a bit frantic as the deadline closed in but I did manage to do it and at least now I know I can work fast if I need to.

I definitely feel the  need to take a day off after this though.

The back cover.  Look at that bunny monster!  He's so cute!

The print job should be completed and delivered to me by next week, so expect Delirium issue 2 to be on sale in the first week in October.

Delirium Issue 1 is Available for Purchase on Etsy!

It's here!  It's here!  The wait is over and the first issue of Delirium is available for purchase through  my store on Etsy!

Looking at the finished product, I've gotta say that the book looks great!  Docucopies did a incredible job with the printing and I am very happy with how it turned out.

Here's the product description:

Enter a world where angels battle drill wielding mechs piloted by strange bunny-like creatures; a world where hockey masks and chainsaw hands are regular fashion accessories; a world where death and danger lurk around every corner. Enter the world of Delirium.

Delirium is an exciting new monthly comic from Nick Calavera showcasing detailed black and white art and stories focused on the strange and surreal. Issue one features the debut of two original ongoing series: Kingdom of Monsters and G.E.R.L.

The cover price for issue one is $2.50, which I think is a great deal for all of the great art and production values that you're getting.  Supplies are limited, so, make sure to buy your copy now before they're gone as I have no plans to reprint this in the near future.

It's been a fun trip getting this far and I am looking forward to announcing issue two when it's finished.  In the meantime, buy the book and see the story behind all of the disjointed images on this blog!
