The Word Bros Episode 168: Jamie Jones

The Word Bros

Jamie Jones is one of the best dudes in comics. We met Jamie at Heroes Con in 2018, and being a fan of classic pulp tales like Tarzan and Princesses of Mars, we were instantly drawn to his work. Looking at the Baboon, you’re transported to comics of a different era. Dashing ,vibrant heroes battling ruthlessly evil villains with the fate of humanity hanging in the balance. It’s good stuff.

The Baboon is back with a brand new 94-page OGN entitled The Temple of Eternal Life. If that title doesn’t get you, I don’t know what will. The conversation on today’s episode is fast and furious. We leave no stone unturned as we chat about the outstanding campaign video, Jamie’s love of Savannah, Georgia, and why he took a calculated risk and chose Crowdfundr for this campaign.

Get Lich or Die Trying

Our newest Kickstarter campaign has entered it’s second week and to quote Larry David, things are going “pretty pretty pretty good.” We are 94% funded and talking stretch goals. Once we get to $6500 all backers at a physical tier will receive goblin stickers, designed by series artist Nicky Noons. We have other ideas in mind but we’ll get there then we get there. I also have a few new pages to show off. Feast your eyes on these bad boys. If your so inclined to support Get Lich or Die Trying, feel feel to click the link.

Baltimore Comic Con

Kevin and I had a blast in Charm City this weekend. Thank you to Shelly, Brad, Marc, and the entire team for making us feel welcome in their city. We met a lot of cool folks and sold a few comics. On Friday night, we ventured out to Medieval Times. You know that place where you eat food with your hands while watching brave knights sword fight to the (pretend) death? Yeah, we went. How was it you ask? Well, you’ll have to wait until the next edition of the Word Bros newsletter to find out.

Thanks for reading/listening and we’ll chat again soon.
