Kid B. Goes to Peru!
October 12, 2012, filed under: News,Studio, by LexNext week I’ll be attending the international comics festival Mundo Vineta in Lima, Peru and I could not be more excited! I’ll be giving a presentation on KidB. and a workshop during my visit (bilingual fans can check out this article about it). I’m really looking forward to meeting other international cartoonists and participants and exploring Lima and other terrific spots in Peru (Machu Piccu anyone?). This just kicks off what I hope will be a terrific month in the world of Kid Beowulf. Stick around!

Kid Beowulf and the Song of Roland eBook Edition
August 1, 2012, filed under: News,Roland, by LexJust in time for some late summer eReading, Kid Beowulf and the Song of Roland goes live today in Kindle, NOOK, iBooks and eReaders everywhere! The book is chock-full of original art and graphics designed specifically for the eBook experience, including converting all the BW pages into a cool, crisp, duotone blue. The book is over 250 pages and for just $5.99 it’s a great deal. To whet your appetite I’ve done a full color excerpt from the book featuring Roland and Oliver on their first adventure together, tackling the giant known as Ferragus!
