NEW SUBSTACK APP AND MORE!
Welcome To Tales From The Farm...
Hello Friends!
Today, Substack is rolling out its brand new app for phones and tablets. It’s debuting on the Apple Store with an Android version releasing soon. Now it’s going to be easier than ever to make sure that you don’t miss out on any of the weekly posts, across all the comic Substacks I hope you’re following. You can read more about it here. Here’s a quick glimpse at how it looks.
A quick reintroduction to me… My name is Jeff Lemire and I am the creator or co-creator of many comics and graphic novels including SWEET TOOTH, BLACK HAMMER, ESSEX COUNTY, GIDEON FALLS, DESCENDER, UNDERWATER WELDER and many more.
I launched this Substack in August and each week I have been serializing chapters of my current graphic novel FISHFLIES as well as a new BLACK HAMMER graphic novel with artist Stefano Simeone called THE LASTS DAYS OF BLACK HAMMER.
There will be more new Black Hammer comics debuting soon as well!
FROM THE VAULT
In addition to the new comics, subscribers have exclusive access to the other major undertaking in this newsletter which will be to open up my studio and my sketchbooks to you.
In terms of process and behind the scenes stuff, I already mentioned a weekly work journal, but I’ll also be posting all kinds of process pics and videos of me drawing my new book as well as process material from Andrea Sorrentino, Dustin Nguyen, Dean Ormston, Caitlin Yarsky and other partners in crime.
In addition to process artwork, I will also be sharing samples of my scripts, series bibles, and outlines from books I’ve written over the years and I’ll be opening up my sketchbooks to show all sorts of developmental work from my various books.
I don’t want to just focus on current projects though. The plan is to go back through my entire career, in chronological order, and show as much process material and sketchbook stuff I can for each book I’ve done. And along with this I’ll be writing extensively about the creation of each book, and where I was in my career and life when I did each book.
If you’re interested in giving it a shot, but want to read some of the comics first! Hit the link below and sign up to access that offer!
