  • instagram.com/p/BQKtAE3j-OS 23 years ago Jack Kirby (Aug 28, 1917-Feb 6, 1994), the unsung visual creator of Marvel comics died having lived his past 15 years fighting the monstrous comics industry for his rights. Here are some tribute covers based on his famous works from my political satire comics series Giant-Size Fascists, created in 2003 and published in 2007. #RIPJackKirby

Been a fan since the early 80s, the illustration here drawn in 1996 for Star Walking Inc, Australia's premier SW fanzine. Almost a decade before this scene was enacted in Epis.III Revenge of The Sith, I depicted the fight between Obi Wan and Anakin on the volcano planet (as described in the original 1977 novelisation). The style is quite naive, but I was pretty spot on!

  • ΑΚΥΡΟ/CANCELLED Με μεγάλη λύπη πρέπει να ανακοινώσω ότι δυστυχώς η συνέχεια του Giant-Size Fascists δεν θα εκδοθεί από την Εφημερίδα των Συντακτών αυτό το Σάββατο, διότι οι συντάκτες δεν συμφωνούσαν με το πολιτικό περιεχόμενο της ιστορίας. Ευχαριστώ πολύ για το ενδιαφέρον που δείξατε και θα σας παρακαλέσω να μην αγοράσετε την εν λόγω εφημερίδα περιμένοντας αντιφασιστικά, αντιδραστικά ή αντιοτιδήποτε comics μου. Ενώ τσίναγα στην αρχή, τελικά είναι αέρας ελευθερίας αυτός που αναπνέω στην Αγγλία. Κων, 29 Μαΐου 2014 (απωφράδα μαίρα). ___________________ It is with great sorrow that I announce that my sequel to Giant-Size Fascists will not be published by the newspaper Efimerida ton Syntakton, as the editors not only didn't agree with the political content of the story but also crucially and unforgivably didn't have any sense of humour whatsoever.

  • DRYLAND Book one///Chapter one (2012) My graphic novel DRYLAND Book one, will be released in 2015 by Markosia Publications. The books narrate the tragic deaths of most of my ancestors in Interwar rural Greece (Book one specifically narrates the death of my Great-Grandmother as retold by my Grandfather). It seems that the book has shamefully created a series of imitators in Greece and a bunch of "creators" have gone on to narrate the stories of their grandparents (most, coincidentally, set in the Interwar) in a graphic novel format; it's a shame and has totally put me off showing previews of any projects I come up with from now on and is another small step distancing me away from that country's scene. A brief history of DRYLAND: I self-published Chapter one and presented it at Mark Millar's Kapow Con in 2012, just as I'd moved to the UK, whilst it also was a finalist of the original First Fictions competition held in the same year. Since then I have distributed Chapter one at various comic book stores in the UK and Greece. The self-publication also contained the first Tales of The Smiths episode ever published. The whole book (including all chapters) will be collected by Markosia Publications in 2015. To purchase the first chapter, which I self-published in 2012 (DRYLAND Book one///Chapter one), click the below link: www.conchrisoulis.bigcartel.com

  • RIP Aggelos Mastorakis. Read it here: conchrisoulis.tumblr.com/139065555058 The Magnificent Nine Και Οι Εννέα Ήταν Υπέροχοι Page 2 of 2 I just got news that Aggelos Mastorakis, the former editor-in-chief of 9 (Εννέα) magazine, has just passed away. He was mighty keen on censorship, prone towards outright favouritism and gave me a hard time as an editor, scarcely publishing my submissions from 2001-2005, but the truth remains that the magazine did a great job featuring new unknown artists in the emerging greek comics scene. In this story, commissioned by Mastorakis for the 200th issue of the weekly anthology in 2004, I drew the 9 milestones in the history of comics, depicting the editor-in-chief in the final panel, as I designated 9 magazine as the 9th milestone.

You can order it here: jemmacomics.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=802 This beauty is a comicbook called Giant Size Fascists (which consists of ..basically psycho fascist Greek superheroes). Having been fedup with the rising far right assholes in this country back in 2003, I decided to mix my love for 60s and 70s Silver Age comics and my hatred for fascism and produced this comicbook in 2007. It garnered the "Comicbook of The Year Award" at the 2008 Comicdom Convention (as voted by the public), so I guess some folks dug it!

All the stories were also going to be exhibited in the Babel comic book store. I was heavily into my autobio comics phase at that point and instantly remembered this story from my days as a video rental clerk.

  • instagram.com/p/BBj15jCHQP4 20 years! TWENTY YEARS! Whah?! This year marks the 20th anniversary from my first self-published comic, CLANS, which ran for three issues from 1996-1997 in Melbourne, Australia. What a totally '90s trigger happy Liefieldesque cover, eh? I'll be celebrating by retouching and slowly rereleasing ALL my classic material from the past two decades, starting in spring!

  • 1996. The Craft. This sketch has a June 27th, 1996 date on it. I really liked that film (it kinda had a John Hughes meets Hellraiser vibe to it) and it seems really weird that nowadays it's referenced retrospectively for its style. I feel old! On top I had some notes about a goth comics series I wanted to make called Elysian Fields, which would recall The Craft's vibe. This is another '90s sketch that I found in a huge box of forgotten originals at my folks' home in Western Greece. #TheCraft #90s #nineties #1990s #Craft #Horror #Illustration #Comics

  • 1995. I created the Winter Soldier. Sure, it's an overstatement, but I did send an 8-page submission to Marvel, when I was in my late teens, in which Bucky Barnes returns to haunt Captain America as a long-haired, one-cybernetic-armed assassin, wearing an updated uniform that resembled his original costume. Eerie! (I just found this beauty in a huge box of forgotten originals at my folks' home in Western Greece). #ThrowbackThursday #Marvel #WinterSoldier #CaptainAmerica #BuckyBarnes #Comics Steve Epting Ed Brubaker

  • This is either genius or insane. Did David Lynch on TWIN PEAKS swipe Alan Moore's THE KILLING JOKE? I just realised this whilst watching a rerun of Twin Peaks season 2 episode 5. Bear in mind that the two stories were created within just a span of two years from each other (Twin Peaks season 2 started filming even earlier than that) and Moore's "at last some mature themes in comics" approach had started grabbing a lot of headlines by this point. You might ask how exactly did that scene ring such a familiar bell to me... Well, I swiped it myself in 1989 for a comic I used to draw as a kid called Tarantula!
