If you’re in the Pittsburgh area this coming weekend (April 23rd-25th), be sure to stop by the Pittsburgh Comic-Con at the Monroeville Convention center. The Black Coat will have a table in the small press area where you can meet Ben Lichius (series co-creator and writer), pick up books you may have had trouble getting your hands on, get a free sketch, or buy the brand new “Or Give Me Death” Trade Paperback!! (In stores this month!). There will be lots to see and do at the show. Pittsburgh is always a great “comic-centric” convention and we’re happy to be there for the 3rd time. Be sure to stop by and see us at booth #S089!!

And even if you can’t make it to the show, keep your eyes peeled for the OGMD TPB coming out this month – featuring a wraparound cover by BC artist Gabriel Hardman!!

It was a good match. I like having Black Coat posters featured on a primetime television show, and the creative team working on CBS’ “The Ghost Whisperer” like roylaty-free comic art that doesn’t cost them anything. Tonight’s episode (“On Thin Ice” - 9PM EST) is about a comic artist being haunted by a particularly chilly ghost and if you take a close look all around his studio you’ll notice some familiar comic covers. Black Coat artist, Gabriel Hardman, does the principal artwork for the show – so tonight’s episode is a double win for BC fans! Check it out and tell your friends!

All right! It’s finally here! For anyone who’s been waiting, or for those that want a complete  Black Coat collection on their shelves, the Black Coat’s second series, “Or Give Me Death”, has been collected into this awesome Trade Paperback and is now available for preorder!!

The trade features an incredible wrap-around cover by none other than Gabriel Hardman (Agents of Atlas)!! If you missed any of the individual issues, be sure to pick this up. The book will be in stores this April, but you can place your order now!

To make sure that you get your copy, go to your local comic shop and tell them you want this book. You can even give them this Diamond order code: FEB10 0659.

Thanks to everyone that’s stuck by us over the years. We hope that you truly enjoy this trade.

The series that started it all is now available for reading on the iPhone thanks to iVerse Media! Issue 1 is available for FREE and, just this week, issues 2 through 4 are now downloadable for just $.99 a piece. Follow the link to check it out!!

It’s here!! The thrilling conclusion to the Black Coat’s second mini series, “Or Give Me Death”, hits stores today – just in time for the holidays! Need some last minute gift ideas for your favorite comic reader? The whole series is now in stores and can be read from start to finish. (Whew, that took waaaaay too long.)
I really want to thank all of the fans, family, friends, and fellow comic creators that stood by us and stuck with us while we worked to get to this point. There were a lot of reasons that this book got delayed the first time out, but I’m glad to say that it’s all finally out there now and ready for BC fans to enjoy. I honestly hope it meets or exceeds everyone’s expectations.
I also want to give a HUGE “thank you” to Dean Kotz. He is a tremendously talented artist and was fantastic to work with. This series never would have gotten finished if not for your hard work and dedication, Dean. You rock! Thanks!!

If you haven’t seen the book yet or you want a sneek peek before you buy, you can check out some preview pages HERE.

 So… what’s next you ask? Well that’s easy. The OGMD trade paper back, of course! Yes, we’re not leaving all of our TPB readers out in the cold. We will be collecting the series into a trade very soon. It should go on sale this Spring as a matter of fact. For everyone that can’t wait, though, rush out and buy the rest of the series today and for those of you who can, look for the TPB around April.  Either way, I can’t wait to hear what everyone thinks. So feel free to drop us a line and lay it on us.

Merry Christmas, everyone!!
