#bfanthology

This past week we held the release part and debut of the Broken Frontier Anthology at Floating World Comics in Portland, OR.

On hand to sign the book were creators Robbi Rodriguez, Mike Lawrence, Justin Zimmerman & Tyler Chin-Tanner.

To read more, check out the full report on the Broken Frontier website.

Next stop on the BF Anthology tour will be Emerald City Comic Con (April 7 -10) and then we’re back in Portland for a signing at Excalibur Comics on April 16.

The Broken Frontier Anthology is now officially “in print” as the printed hardcover has now arrived and is filling up my garage.

The book looks great. The pages are really sharp and I can’t wait to show this off to people.

The book debuts tomorrow night at Floating World Comics in Portland, OR. Here’s a link to the facebook event page:

The printing proofs for the Broken Frontier oversized hardcover are in! This is what 312 pages of proofs look like.

Sorting through some pages from the cover by Robbi Rodriguez and some stories including:

Here are the final cover images for both the @brokenfrontier Anthology and the sketchbook that goes along with it. Both images are by @robbirodriguez and designed by Nicola Black Design, L.L.C.

More Broken Frontier Anthology updates starting with the limited Bookplate with art by Farel Dalrymple (popgunwar). These are going out to our lucky Kickstarter backers who pledged at the Space Captain level or above and are limited to just 200. They’re printed on nice thick card stock and have a sticker backing should you choose to attach it to the inside of the anthology. 

Next we have a colored page from “Kismet: Man of Fate” written by A. David Lewis, art by Noel Tuazon and colors by Rob Croonenborghs.

Then a small tease from “Death Signal” from writer Adam Egypt Mortimer with art by Jeff McComsey and colors again by Rob Croonenborghs.

And finally, another tease from “It’s About Time” written by one of the anthologies editors, Frederik Hautain with art by Facundo Percio with colors by Paul Little and lettering by Taylor Esposito.

In case you haven’t heard, one of the biggest projects we’ve been working on here at A Wave Blue World, is the upcoming Broken Frontier Anthology. After a successful Kickstarter campaign, the creators have been busy at work finishing up their stories so that we can go to print in early September.

Along the way, they’ve been sharing bits of their art and I thought I’d collect some here.

From top to bottom we have art from The Beard by alisonsampsonart, Flyer by mikelawrenceart, Here There Be Monsters by Sean Wang, Inside Outside by Karrie Fransman, Key by Salgood Sam and No Regrets by Jamie Coe.
