Comic con was tiring, but useful. Talked to some Image bigwigs. Learned a lot about the webcomic scene. Saw the Green HornetÂs limo. Also, Jim Balent? Say what you will about the guyÂs work, heÂs nice as hell. Anyhow, promptly after the con, I got sick as a hick and was rendered artistically handicapped for over a week. Seems to be over with. Maybe now I can get some work done.

THINGS IÂM WORKING ON:

Âs HDS pinup

And more anecdotes of the sinners and saints that make up Parris City.

FURTHERMORE! New Fowl for sale soon, including some never-before-seen content. Stay tuned. If you want to purchase some older issues, hereÂs your link: [link]

I intended the Fowl to be a believable Batman. DonÂt get me wrong, I loves me the Batman as is. HeÂs a shining pillar of human achievement and a symbol righteous retribution, and I think thatÂs pretty keen. But my favorite Batman stories, the oneÂs that made me seriously want to write comics, were the stories where he had to overcome his own problems in order to overcome the villain. Stories like Venom, in which he is almost undone by his obsession to be stronger, or Knightfall, which ends in his ultimate defeat because he failed to get over his need to be self-sufficient. Remember Prey? Hugo Strange is pop-psychoanalyzing him on television while Bruce Wayne watches helpless, slowly going insane? What about Daredevil? Born Again, and the issues leading up to it? Denny OÂNeilÂs the Question, that masterpiece? ThatÂs what IÂm talking about, here. Stories we can all relate to, because these men have to slay the same demons we all do, only their stakes are a bit higher.

The Green Arrow, Daredevil, and Question seriesÂ of the late eighties and the magnificent early runs of Legends of the Dark Knight are what IÂm referring to when I say ÂbelievableÂ. These characters had relationships and hardships what extended beyond the Clark Kent/Lois Lane pale comics usually subscribe to. Family members felt like people, not plot devices. When someone died, you cried where before you might have rolled your eyes. Sometimes you got angry at the hero, sometimes you didnÂt want to be around them, but like real friends, you were always on their side and in their corner when the chips were down and the Kingpin came aÂknockinÂ. Then came the nineties and everything went to hell, but with the Fowl, I hope to bring back tradition of OÂNeil and Grell.

I implore you, do not think I aspire to recreate the Ultimates, Supreme Power, the Boys or the Authority. Not for me is the path of the cynic, the paranoid pessimist, or the establishmentaphobe. There will be no government-bred superfolk in my world. In fact, I think a federally funded superteam defeats the purpose of superheroes. They are not agents of the law, but rather, by definition, vigilantes and criminals. They operate outside the law in order to enforce justice. They are counter-establishment (not anti). As soon as theyÂre put on Uncle SamÂs payroll, they become little more that bizarrely-clad soldiers. Not that I have anything against soldiers, mind you. TheyÂre just not superheroes (unless they have a secret identity, that is).

But I digress: The Fowl and his alter ego, Stephen DeMoge, are my first attempt at creating realistic, relatable superheroes for the twenty first century, hang-ups and compulsions and mental illnesses and all. HeÂs early Bruce Wayne with Vic SageÂs attitude and Matt MurdockÂs luck, clad in slacks, not tights. HeÂs got the ShadowÂs villains in HellboyÂs world, too, but thatÂs a discussion for another post.

THE PRIVATE FILES OF THE FOWL no. 3 is now on sale, collecting the stories ÂStock in MurderÂ, ÂThere is InfectionÂÂ, ÂMaternity Ward DoomÂ, and the Sister Mary Vendetta preview. $5.00 a full-sized copy and a personalized piece of Fowl art, shipping included. Note me to reserve.

Also, I'll be at the comic con all this week. You know it's me, 'cause I'm the one guy who's not dressed like an Stormtrooper.

Special shout out to

As 2007 draws to a close, I feel compelled to update the lot of you on the progress those noble artists have made on the Fowl Annual, entitled "Dante's Furnace." Keep in mind that many pages are still missing, so I doubt the story will make a whole lot of sense if you try to read through it now. Oh, and it doesn't have lettering yet.

The important message is this; you will be PAID for you work. Whatever profits this comic turns will be distributed amoungst all the artists who lent their talent to this story, proportional to how many pages they each did. I'll be pocketing twenty percent (hey, it's my comic) but the rest goes into your much deserving hands.

I was going to save that for later, but I figured I'd get it out there now instead. Looking forward to each of your pages.

1) I am both left and right winged, 'cause you need both if you want to fly.
2) I lost my "childhood innocence" in a hotel room in Paris, France.
3) I met Neil Gaimen this summer, found him to be the warmest man I'd ever met, and decided right then and there to make a career out of Comic Books.
4) My favorite works of literature are "Measure for Measure" and "the Great Gatsby", which you can find references to in my Fowl stories.
5) I came up with the Fowl's symbol when I saw a hawk out my window, hovering over a field, just about to strike. I've seen that omen from time to time since then, and it's always been good luck.
6) My mother was reised a strict Catholic, which find it's way into my stories as well. The character "Sister Mary Vendetta" is based on her descriptions of her experiences with nuns.
7) I love Aerosmith.
8) I am terrified of whales.

IÂve been convinced to write a one-shot entitled ÂDanteÂs Furnace.Â It features the Fowl and the Mime as they unravel the mystery behind a series of ritual murders during the hottest summer in IllinoisÂ history. ThereÂs something demonic in the works. Yes, we got trouble my friends, right here in Parris City.

But though I will write this thing Â and it will rock your mind Â I canÂt draw all of it. Frankly, I just donÂt have the time. So whoÂs going to draw it?

YOU ARE!

Yes sir, this going to be a book of many artists.

I was tagged by

to fill out another character quiz. Instead of doing the usual cast of the Fowl, the Mime, and Polly, I decided to do the Avian AvengerÂs rogues gallery. They are:

The LAUGH: an existentialist serial killer, seemingly unkillable, who uses voodoo and drugs to raise the dead and play with reality. He obsesses over killing the Fowl, believing that this will make him live forever.
LYTA HATAKI: district attorney-tuned-criminal mastermind whose crimes baffle even the most astute of criminologists. Her intellect surpasses even that of Stephen DeMoge.
DRIPPY PATTERSON: a botched murder turned this arrogant biochemist into a walking plague ship, constantly oozing toxins and acids from his every pore and orifice. Now he sells drugs.
WING XU: the warrior supreme, trained from birth to become the ÂGreat XanÂ who would bring order to a chaotic world Â even if that means resorting to terrorism and war crimes.
VAN IKE: the overlooked wife of a famous sculptor silently yearning for attention, Vanessa Eisenhower hunts and kills other artists, turning them into macabre works of art.

How Old Are You?
LAUGH: Oh, IÂm OLD. Older than SIN.
HATAKI: Twenty nine years, ten months, four weeks, two days.
PATTERSON: Thirty frigginÂ five.
WING XU: I am thirty years old.
VAN IKE: ItÂs impolite to askÂ

Height?
LAUGH: High as a KITE!
HATAKI: Five feet, nine inches.
PATTERSON: Damn if I know. Some days I wake up taller, some days IÂm five goddamn three.
WING XU: I am six feet and three inches tall.
VAN IKE: TallÂishÂ I think.

You Got Any Bad Habits?
LAUGH: IÂm a sucker for a LITTLE GIRL in a PINK DRESS.
HATAKI: Bad habits are the hallmarks of a lack of discipline.
PATTERSON: Well, no shit. WouldnÂt you?
WING XU: The body and the mind must be pure and unpolluted if any victory is to be attained.
VAN IKE: Tiny, tiny pillsÂ

Have Any Kids?
LAUGH: Depends. How do you mean HAD?
HATAKI: I hate children.
PATTERSON: Yeah. The bitch got them in the divorce.
WING XU: One day soon, I will choose a woman of sufficient genetic perfection and sire a child. I look forward to being a... ]]> ~dan-sch Fowl Language, v.2 http://dan-sch.deviantart.com/journal/13012345/ http://dan-sch.deviantart.com/journal/13012345/ Sat, 19 May 2007 11:03:34 PDT

s not keeping it a secret, Im sure as hell not gonna; the Fowl and Nobody the Idiot will do a five-page team-up in Hartters mega ultra special comicpalooza, NOBODY THE IDIOT: STUPID WARS. This epic tale, of course, is written and drawn by yours truly. Its full of cage fighters and napalm, so it ought to be a good time.

In other news, Im holding a FOWL ART JAM. To emphasize the importance of this, Ill say it again.

A FOWL ART JAM.

What kind of Jam, you ask? Make yourself a black and white pin-up featuring the Jihadist of Justice. He can be striking a pose on a rooftop, tearing into a sea of thugs, or even interacting with characters of your own. The one I like the most will be featured in the upcoming Fowl comic book (still scheduled to come out in late July. Reserve you copy today!).

Thats right, you yes, YOU could have your art featured in a low-budget, self-published, by-order-only comic book! My God, its the chance of a lifetime!

To get you into the spirit of things, take a gander at what other fine deviants have done with the Fowl and his buddies:

First off, for those of you who didn't know already, the Cloaked Capo will be featured in a self-pubished comic coming out July 25th.

This fine peice of American literature now has a cover, care of

, who is pretty much The Man. Check this out: [link] Seriously, how could you pass a up a book with a cover like that? It's a pistol-packing superhero in a swarm of zombies! It's like all the best movies of the 70's rolled into one.

The Feathered Felon will also be featured in a multi-artist mega comic (for lack of a better term), the details of which I am going to withhold out of respect for the privacy of the other artists involved. Dan Schkade is not one to jump the gun, no sir.

That's my name, by the way. Daniel Thomas Schkade. It's German, with a touch of Irish. Don't tell anyone.

Until next time, and remember: Crime pays, but the income tax is killer.

Yes, the Fowl; the Cloaked Capo, the Jihadist of Justice, the Pollo con Power a pulpy crimefighter who uses knives, firearms, and a network of underlings to wage guerilla warfare on the Parris City Mafiosi. Hes got Hannibal Lecters brains, Jason Bournes moves, and Dirty Harrys views on capital punishment all of which he employs to fight psychotic gangsters, superhuman hitmen, deranged serial killers, and his own spotty mental health.

And so we watch Stephen as he tries to balance running his company, smashing crime, and a maintaining a relationship with jazz singer Trisha Allard who lives a double life as Parris Citys other prominent costumed vigilante, the Mime all under the watchful eye of his sunny little housemaid, Polly.

Its hunting season in Parris City
