C O P R A #31

What does a political sex cult, a drug deli, and vigilante justice have in common? They’re Castillo’s Saturday night, that’s what. Catch this rare glimpse into the mind of Copra’s top enforcer in this painfully personal war on crime in COPRA #31!

As you might’ve heard, Fantagraphics is publishing a collection of my other series ZEGAS (Tell your Local Comics Shops!! Diamond code: MAR178365) for a November 15th release. If you’re unfamiliar with the title that kicked off Copra Press, this is your chance to read these out-of-print stories that I still dearly love.
You’ll get a chance to check out advance copies of Zegas at SPX this September. It’s too early to confirm but we’re hoping to have a signing at the Fanta table (I will be there all weekend at the Bergen Street Press table, too).
Finally, I’ll soon be posting sneak peeks of some non-Copra projects over on my Patreon page, on top of my page-by-page serialization of N E G △ T I ▽ E L △ N D — get on it!

C O P R A #30 + Summer Conventions

It had to happen. THIRTY ISSUES. It’s not every day a comic hits that number. Enter: COPRA versus COPRA in this milestone 30th issue! The classic team rumbles with Team X and things go down in Miami the only way they can: sleazy, chaotic, brutal. Why are you reading this instead of buying it?!

But hey, you’re here already. Let me tell you about some conventions I’ll be attending in June.

CAKE in Chicago, IL · June 10-11

and

HEROES CON in Charlotte, NC · June 16-18

Additionally, Mark Peters gave COPRA a great write-up over at Salon. It’s a streamlined, reader-friendly summation, so pass it along to any friend or enemy who hasn’t yet jumped on board.

Additionally Part Two: CBR’s Chris Neill evaluates COPRA through the lens of Watchmen while briefly breaking down the history of comic book analogues.

Back to COPRA 30. Get it in print. Get it digitally. Either way, get it. Here’s a preview.

Paste’s very own Sequential Heart Podcast interviewed me recently about all things COPRA with some back issue bin diving chatter thrown in.
