Hey everyone! If you’re headed to the New York City comic-con this weekend (10/8-10/10), or just thinking about going, here are 2 great reasons to get your ticket punched. Black Coat: Or Give Me Death series artist Dean Kotz will be in artists alley and so will Black Coat: Heart of Ice and cover artist Gabriel Hardman! Be sure to stop by and say ‘hello’ to both of them. And be sure to pick up a print or a book while you’re there!
Be sure to check out more of their artwork as well. Here are some links:

I wanted to post a special thanks to Ian and the rest of the blokes at Uncanny Comics in Worthing, West Sussex in the UK! They’ve been big fans and great supporters of The Black Coat from day one. I sent Ian a pinup a little while back and, despite the Black Coat’s status as a rebel yank, they hung it in the store’s front window! Cool!
If you’re in the area, be sure to stop in and pick up all the latest BC books while you grab the rest of your monthly haul.
And if you’re not in the area, swing by their website and check them out anyway: http://www.uncannycomics.co.uk/
Thanks guys!
The Black Coat will be making his first ever appearance at the Steel City Con at the Monroeville Convention Center in Monroeville, PA this weekend!
The show runs from Friday 8/6 through Sunday 8/8 and should be a great time. Ben will be set up, signing books and doing free sketches. Be sure to stop by and say ‘hello’!

Hey BC fans! The Black Coat’s second mini series has been collected into a gorgeous trade paperback and is now in comic shops across the country. If you haven’t gotten your hands on one yet, or missed any or all of the series when it came out last fall, now’s your chance to get caught up on what you missed.
The series featured a story by Ben Lichius and Adam Cogan, was written by Ben Lichius and featured art by Francesco Francavilla and Dean Kotz. It garnered all sorts of praise once released as well – like these bits from Pullbox.com:
“This is a well-thought out story, rich in details and background. The characters are strong and believable (in that pulp sort of way), the story walks strong and leaves you wanting more. “
“If you haven’t checked this out, you need to. The Black Coat is part of the upper-echelon of family-freindly independent comics available!”
And these from ComicsBulletin:
“There’s so much goodness in Black Coat to recommend.”
“Lichius and Kotz promise much on the cover of Black Coat, and they deliver.”
And speaking of covers, here’s a peek at the amazing wraparound TPB cover (by Gabriel Hardman) in all of its printed glory!
Thanks again to all of our fans for supporting us! Enjoy!
