The eleventh newsletter (May 21, 2002)
Hello again, pals'n'gals!
Thought we'd update you on the latest and greatest in
Angry Youth Comixland before we fly the coop for good.
First things first: Johnny R. (and his
girlfriend/colorist ho Jenny) will be leaving Seattle
on June 3, so if you want to get in touch, we
recommend you stick to e-mail for now. If you MUST
mail something via post, please send mail here until
further notice:
Johnny Ryan
1031 Sanborn Ave
LA CA 90029
As for email, Johnny can be reached via
superjohnny69@yahoo.com and will be checking in
regularly.
Now then, on with the news!
*** AYC #11 NOW AVAILABLE ON WEB!! ***
We get a lot of letters requesting back issues from
the first, self-published volume of AYC, but
unfortunately these are long out of print. We do have
some copies of #11 available, however, and are now
selling them via http://www.johnnyr.com/comix/buy.html
. Order now to ensure speedy delivery, as orders
placed after June 3 will take approximately 1-2 weeks
longer to fulfill due to our relocation. Payment is
easy via PayPal, & we'll include free crap with every
order!
*** AYC ORIGINAL ART SUPER SALE ***
In a desperate bid to raise moving funds, Johnny is
currently offering a special moving sale on all
original art. Check out his selection at
http://www.comicartcollective.com/johnnyryan and take
$10 OFF the already low, low prices! As an extra
bonus, we'll throw in FREE SHIPPING! This special deal
ends MAY 31, so you snooze, you lose.
*** ANGRY YOUTH COMIX GETS BOOKED ***
Speaking of back issues and other out-of-print
tomfoolery, we are extremely excited to announce the
forthcoming paperback collection of Johnny's
out-of-print, self-published work (as well as various
odds and ends rarely seen before). The book is
entitled PORTAJOHNNY and is scheduled for release in
Spring 2003. You'll crap your pants with glee when you
see Johnny's undeniable artistic maturation (no, we're
serious) and early appearances by characters like
Omletta Prude, Ed Exhusband, and Cheeseburg
Christianson. A must-have item for every toilet tank!
*** JOHNNY R TO APPEAR AT SAN DIEGO COMIC-CON ***
We're not certain of his signing schedule yet, but
Johnny will definitely be attending the San Diego
Comic-Con, held August 1-4. Come out to meet the
bespectacled ink stud and snap up some fun treats like
buttons and stickers while you're at it.
*** RYAN & COOPER "GET IT ON" FOR THE KIDS ***
Grab a copy of the latest Nickelodeon magazine
(featuring the webbed wonder-- that's Spiderman,
genius-- on the cover) and you'll find a two-page
Spongebob Squarepants story drawn by the inimitable
Dave Cooper (http://www.davegraphics.com) and written
by Johnny Ryan! And if that's not enuff, Johnny's also
got a one-panel gag cartoon therein. If a rise in
youth-related sex crimes comes about after the release
of this magazine, you know where to direct your
letters of complaint.
*** JOHNNY R HAS A SCREW LOOSE ***
Denizens of NYC should keep their eyes out for the
latest issue of SCREW, Al Goldstein's notorious sex
weekly (aka, tranny sex classifieds). The classy
journal sports a Johnny Ryan cover, which pervos
nationwide can see here:
http://www.comicartcollective.com/detail.cfm?page=6457F864-BF01-4362-A591937759866800
*** JOHNNY ILLO IN COOL & STRANGE MUSIC ***
Head to your nearest newsstand and pick up a copy of
Cool & Strange Music #25, which (along with the usual
hilarious features on oddball music) features a swell
drawing of that spicy li'l devil himself, El Vez (The
Mexican Elvis). To order online, check out their
website at http://www.coolandstrange.com
*** LOADY'S LINKS: SALTY MAGAZINE ***
If we may play the nepotism card for a moment, please
let us recommend that you check out
http://www.saltymagazine.com. This site belongs to
Johnny's galpal Jenny and features a heap of funny
writing, girly artwork, and kooky crafts. There are
also comix-related articles (interviews with Peter
Bagge and Daniel Clowes) and artwork (stuff by Kaz,
Danny Hellman, R. Crumb, Eric Reynolds, and Johnny
Ryan...natch.) galore. A nice selection of links to
boot. Enjoy!
That's gonna do it for now! Thanks for your support,
and remember that if you wanna unsubscribe, simply
e-mail and let us know. Just don't me surprised if we
talk smack about you afterwards. Haw! Haw! We kid.
Yours 'til Niagara Falls,
Loady McGee
