Jason Dube's New Projects

ROK Comics Night Owl artist Jason Dube tells us he has a bunch of new items just released that fans might want to track down.

His Scattered Soundtrack comic collection has been just been re-issued and spruced up with new artwork and a fold out cover. It's now being offered on createspace and Amazon.

Also on sale now is his new comic book creation Caffeine Poisoned #1 is now available. If you've ever had trouble sleeping, then spare a thought for someone ho has not slept a wink for the last 12 years?

Protagonist Jason has that exact problem, and worse than that... his waking dreams materialize into our world and run wild!

Working in a 24-hour coffee shop, Jason must deal with the insanity of the coffee-drinking crowd, and at the same time battle to control his physical dreams.

Written by Jason Dube and drawn by
Braedon Kuts this 20 page black and white comic is available from Comixpress, price $3.25.

Jason is also of course drawing the new Night Owl comic boook for
Wham Bang Comics featuring international model and character LouLou von Brochwitz! This 22-year-old willowly blonde modeling sensation struts her way into Night Owl’s life when she finds herself threatened by a mysterious villain in Las Vegas! How will Night Owl react? The latest full colour edition of Night Owl is also available from Comixpress.

And talking of Night Owl, as we reported earlier this month, the Wham Bang Comics team recently published a special Origins of Night Owl story on ROK Comics - available to read online or on WAP subscription worldwide. Here's a direct link to the Night Owl strip on ROK Comics.

Finally, don’t forget that 3rd May 2008 is Free Comics Book Day and if you're in the Sacarmento area (USA), stop by Heroes Alley, as Jason Dube and the rest of the SCCG (Sacramento Comicbook Creators Group) will be there networking, doing free sketches, reviewing portfolios, and just chatting with the fans. The event starts at 10am! The address is: 3501 Sunrise Blvd. #3, Rancho Cordova, CA 95742.
