Full details of the artists involved at Bristol will be provided shortly. About the Bristol International Comic Expo 2006 Organised by Mike Allwood of renowned UK comics shop Area 51, the Bristol Expo is the longest-running and most successful comics event in the UK ever. Advance tickets are available through the official website (www.comicexpo.net) at a bargain price (?5 per day for an adult ticket, children 10 and under FREE, children 11 to 16 just ?1). The Ramada Plaza hotel offers special Expo rates, see the website for details. Free Virtual Anthology Now Available As well as the usual superhero mainstream coverage at the upcoming Bristol International Comic Expo (May 12-13) (www.comicexpo.net), the event is becoming known for an ever- increasing range of UK Comics - aka Small Press - in attendance. However, the Expo organisers are aware that it can be quite intimidating for a new reader to dip one's toes in the oceans of independent books: Where should I start? Am I going to be given the hardsell? How do I find out in advance which books might appeal to me? To answer these questions the producer of the Expo approached Chris Lynch (www.monkeyswithmachineguns.com) and Craig Johnson (www.silverbulletcomicbooks.com) to solicit and build a free preview website (and ultimately, downloadable PDF) for as many exhibitors as cared to contribute - to showcase their best works, to provide a central one-stop-shop - not only for potential attendees at the Expo, but also for general interest, for anyone interesting in independent comics. The first iteration of the website is now up and running at: http://www.engine4.net/bristolpreview/ with further updates weekly as more creators submit their pieces. Please disseminate this link amongst your readers/mailing lists/websites, and help us give these little-known books some of the publicity they deserve. Thanks, Comic Expo Team. +++++ Chris Ryall Steps Down From EIC Role At Kevin Smith's MoviePoopShoot.com Ryall Brings His Four-Year Tenure To An End San Diego, CA (February 13, 2006) Chris Ryall, the Editor-in- Chief of filmmaker Kevin Smith's pop culture news and commentary Web site, MoviePoopShoot.com, is stepping down from the role effective today. Ryall, who spends his days serving as Publisher and Editor-in-Chief of San Diego-based comic book publisher IDW Publishing, has been with Smith's site since it first went legit in June 2002. Prior to Ryall's arrival, the site functioned as an extension of the movie fan parody site that first appeared in Smith's 2001 film, Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back. According to Ryall, "Kevin and I talked in early June of 2002 about turning the site from a jokey place into a real pop culture smorgasbord, which is exactly what I strived to do." The site, which changed over exactly two weeks after Ryall agreed to come on board, received an early warm welcome in the press, garnering positive mentions in Variety, the Hollywood Reporter, USA Today, and even CNN's Headline News. In his four-year tenure, the site featured columns from Smith himself (documenting his work on Jersey Girl), former Los Angeles Times writer Jeffery Wells, DVD producer Robert Burnett, screenwriter Brian Lynch, among others. And three years ago, its most popular column, comics writer/historian Scott Tipton's Comics 101, went live. That column, which features detailed looks at comics titles, characters and films past and present, will exit the site this week as well. However, the column itself will continue, as Tipton, also the provider of the bulk of Movie Poop Shoot's news and headlines since its inception, will launch Comics101.com next week. Ryall plans to bring his popular TV Recommendations column to Comics101.com as well, and will continue to document his development of his comic book adaptation of Clive Barker's The Great and Secret Show (to be published through IDW Publishing starting in March) there as well. Kentucky Fried Rasslin' writer Scott Bowden will also join Comics101.com next week. About Ryall's work on the site, Kevin Smith said "Chris has really been a rock for Poop Shoot, lo these many years-and not the kind that drags it down or sinks it, mind you; the kind a brother could count on, day-in and day-out, to build and maintain a site that accomplished exactly what it set out to do: move beyond the movie in-joke it started life as and become a thriving web destination all its own." Under Ryall and Tipton's run at Movie Poop Shoot, the site's readership and hit counts grew every year, and they were never higher than in January 2006, according to Alexa.com. Many of the columnists and comic strip creators will continue on at Movie Poop Shoot, and Smith and his Web designer, Ming Chen, have additional changes and a site makeover planned. "It's been a great run with the site, and I'm proud of what we accomplished in my time there," said Ryall. "Kevin wanted a site that gave him news and info on pretty much every area of pop culture he was interested in, and he wanted daily updates. I did my best to give him the former, and in regards to the latter, we maintained updated of news and columns every single weekday of my entire run. In the past four years, there have been holidays, sicknesses, family crises, my wedding, the birth of my daughter and other situations that arose, and yet not one of those broke our uninterrupted streak of updates. Which is a testament to not only the obsessive efforts of Tipton and myself to deliver every single day, but also to the dozens of reliable, consistent freelancers that have contributed over the years. I know Kevin has some different things planned for the site now, so it made sense for me to step aside. I think I'll miss running it forever, but I look forward to some new experiences and also to seeing what they do with the ol' place when I'm gone." Chris Ryall, who previously spent time as an advertising copywriter, corporate speechwriter and project director for TV icon Dick Clark, joined IDW Publishing as Editor-in-Chief in July 2004. He added the title of Publisher in October 2005. As a writer for IDW, he has written Shaun of the Dead, George A. Romero's Land of the Dead, Doomed and Clive Barker's The Great and Secret Show. He's based in San Diego, CA. He named his new daughter Lucy in tribute to Charles Schulz, not some red-headed '50s sitcom star. +++++ A.C.T.O.R. MEGACON AUCTION 2006 IS NOT TO BE MISSED Pieces Include eBay.com Pre-Bid Piece The JLA by Jae Lee LOS ANGELES, CA (February 14, 2006) - A.C.T.O.R. Comic Fund is launching its 2006 Orlando MegaCon auction with a one-off special "pre-MegaCon" kickoff piece by master artist Jae Lee.

Lot 34 Dave Sim Cerebus #56 cover recreation This gorgeous original painting done in ink and watercolor is artist Dave Sim's recreation of the "Wolveroach" cover from Cerebus #56. Sim spent "the better part of two days rendering all the original raindrops by hand" after experimenting with half-a- dozen different ways to render the rain in both watercolor and gouache. Sim eventually rejected this painting, and will try again later in 2006, but this work stands alone as an original painted recreation indigenous to this auction. Donated by Dave Sim.

"Every year I'm amazingly blown away by the generosity of today's artists in making donations to help comics' elder statesmen," said A.C.T.O.R. President Jim McLauchlin. "The sheer volume of donations we get warms the heart, and I'm really looking forward to being at this year's Orlando MegaCon."

GRAPHIC CLASSICS: RAFAEL SABATINI features the origin of Sabatini's famed gentleman pirate "Captain Blood", adapted by Rod Lott and Carlo Vergara. Also, a great selection of mysteries and adventure tales illustrated by Stanley Shaw, Rich Tommaso, Roger Langridge, Jackie Smith, Milton Knight, Gerry Alanguilan and Hunt Emerson.

Komikwerks, the online community website that features web comics and comic content will be expanding in many different directions in the coming months as they gear up to become one of the leading destination sites for comic fans. Created by Shannon Denton and Patrick Coyle, Komikwerks has structured some unique relationships with high visible partners and will build upon that to increase their presence. "We have partnerships with AOL: Red for content and we also have Stan Lee's Sunday Comics," said Coyle, "and we also have done special projects with Joe Kubert's School and annual events such as the Black History month with strips and interviews featuring Black creators." Komikwerks has expanded their core by bringing in new partnerships and partners. Joining Komikwerks will be Rob M.Worley, known for his Comics2Film website, the premiere site for the relationship of comics to film, who will serve as director of Web Development. "Rob brings in a great sense of design and reliability. Implementation of website design is an art in itself and he is a great writer, so it was a no-brainer" said Denton. Also joining Komikwerks will be Gary Reed, formerly of Caliber Comics, who will take on the role of Special Features Editor. "With both Rob and Gary, their expertise gives them certain areas to handle but they're involved in many other aspects of Komikwerks as well, not just their designated job titles. Steve Horton will continue and expand his role as Online Comic Editor. "Fans have already undoubtedly noticed a change over the last month," said Coyle. "There have been a number of new columns appearing on a regular basis, we have rants and interviews coming out with a greater frequency, and some of the online strips have moved to daily releases." Coyle explained that content areas are the major focus for Komikwerks. "We're not a news and review site. There are so many sties out there that do such a good job with that there isn't really a need for us to concentrate in that area. So rather we've formed partnerships with Comics2film, etc. to let them provide us with quality comics news. The online comic section will grow considerably over the next few months as many of the titles published by Caliber Comics and other publishers will begin appearing daily on the site. Starting in February will be comics such as Deadworld, Raven Chronicles, Troy, Seeker, Helsing, and Magus from Caliber. Disciples, a title released by Image, will also make its debut. Fans can also look for new adventures based on these titles in the future. In addition to the website, Komikwerks will expand into the book world, continuing their release of comics and graphic novels. "We've done a few previously in association with iBooks like the current DEAD SAMURAI as well as our own Komikwerks anthologies, but now we're aggressively expanding those areas," said Denton. "We signed a deals with different distributors for our book lines." Komikwerks will release a number of digital ebooks and have a partnership with a number of comic publishers to include in the library. Publishers include Moonstone, Caliber, Arcana, as well various other professional individuals" Coyle says However, Komikwerks most ambitious launch will be the line of young adult books under the Actionopolis masthead. "We've assembled some of the top writers and artists from the fields of comics, video games, animation, film, TV, and other areas to bring a fully fledged lineup," said Denton. The official announcement and first releases regarding Actionopolis will be in late February. "We're trying to structure a release schedule that will give comic stores a chance to participate early before the books hit the bookstore market, and hopefully draw non-comics readers into their stores" explained Denton. "Our first unveiling of the line will be in May at the Book Expo America and many of our creators will be introducing the line at Motor City Con that same month." +++++ BSPRD ANNOUNCES FREE DOWNLOAD OF PREVIEW BOOK TO ALL!
