Hi. I am putting these up so people will be able to get a good look at THE TOWER OF THE COMIC BOOK FREAKS without requesting a download. I show three introductory pages then five sequences from the book. It should give you a good idea of what it is about. If you are intrigued and want to know more you can contact me at ron.kasman@gmail.com . You can purchase the book at most comic stores or through Amazon. Indigo on-line carries it, too.
The book came out this year from Caliber Entertainment, a respected American publisher of alternative graphic novels. It is 216 pages long and distributed by Diamond. The reviews have all been very positive.
Visible on this post are the book cover and an image I often use to promote it, a full colour version of Page 27. I hope you enjoy your tour of The Tower of the Comic Book Freaks. At the bottom of the sequence of pages please click "older posts" to continue.
As I was finishing up my drawings I decided that a bright symbolic image would look good as an end page. I took this from an interior sequence isolating the silhouetted figures from the more detailed background.
Seven pages here where Harold is invited to be the assistant to comic artist Allan Caldwell and the reaction of his mother. I hope you enjoy it. When you get to the bottom of the sequence click "older posts" to see more.
This is a five page sequence featuring our protagonist Harold and his new friend June at the 1971 New York Comic Book Convention. I hope you enjoy it. When you reach the bottom of the series please click "Older Posts" and continue reading passages from The Tower of the Comic Book Freaks.
In this series of pages Harold and June visit 1971 New York tourist attractions and take a walk through Times Square. I hope you enjoy it. At the bottom of the sequence click "older posts" to continue reading.
This is an eight page sequence from about one quarter of the way through the book. It is about getting along in the New York 1971 and Harold's impression of the comic book community. I hope you enjoy it. Click on "older posts" when you get to the bottom.
The next thirty-eight pages are the beginning of the first chapter and the first several pages of the second. I hope you enjoy them.
