AHOY, PERHAPA-PALS~!!

So, I’m not gonna lie…

When Craig and I announced the return of The Perhapanauts a month or so back, we received a whole slew of emails from friends and fans asking if this also meant the return of our pretty regular, very interactive PERHAPA-BLOG.

For those of you who have just recently joined the ranks of Perhapa-Fans, long ago, before your Facebooks and Twitters and Instas and Tinders, I would post an update or two each week featuring news of what Craig and I were working on or a note about something new added to our online store or a report of some weird creature found somewhere in our big wacky and still-mysterious world. Sometimes it would be a story or a joke or a list of trivia questions trying to stump our all-too-clever community of cryptid fanatics. Sometimes it would just be a question about some topic that we’d all weigh in on.

It was fun.

Well, in response to those queries, I’ll just say this; I’m game if you are!

As these final weeks of 2020 wind out, I’ll be posting some stuff to, hopefully, engage you all and find out what you’d like to see from your favorite cryptid team.

Tell your friends! Wake the neighbors! 

( I really forgot how that goes… )

Want more behind-the-scenes info?

Want more specials and sales from our Perhapa-Store?

Want more stories…? More fan art…? More Choopie videos?

You let us know what you’re interests are and we’ll do our best to make it happen.

And here — in the grand old tradition — are a few trivia questions to keep your brain sharp. We call them the

FIVE For FRIDAY

1.   Based on a French comic book, what 2017 film featured Dane DeHaan and Cara Delevingne and waS a lot better than people give it credit for?

2.   What is the title of Ernest Cline’s recently released sequel to his 2011 masterpiece, Ready Player One?

3.   What song did Baloo sing to Mowgli in Disney’s The Jungle Book?

4.   What legendary comic book artist, known primarily for his inking work on early issues of Marvel’s Fantastic Four, passed away this summer at the age of  93?

5.   What is the title of the new comic book series by writer Tom Sniegoski and ( amazing ) artist Craig Rousseau featuring the early exploits of a popular character created by Mike Mignola?

Have a great weekend~!

Ahoy, Perhapa-Pals~!

Well, it’s official…

The new Perhapanauts is ON THE STANDS!!

In stores now, don’t miss your chance to get in on the ground floor as Black Caravan and Scout Comics launch their relaunch of the ENTIRE PERHAPANAUTS Library!!

And to herald the new collection, we’ve put together a series of all new, 10 page HAPS stories to tantalize and entice you —  stories that Craig and I have been wanting to tell for years and now, finally, have a new forum on which to present them!

Starting with the new NONSTOP no.1, we go back in time a little bit as our still-new team confronts —  The KELLY GOBLINS! Who are the Kelly Goblins, you might ask…? Well, I guess you’ll need to pick up the new issue to find that out.  

And because I’m a bit out of the loop these days and didn’t realize that variant covers were back with a vengeance, Craig has created 3 —  count ‘em —  THREE gorgeous covers to commemorate the historic return of your favorite cryptids!

First, the in-stores cover available at every quality comic shop, features the team watching with some concern as our own CHOOPIE is surrounded by the previously mentioned GOBLINS.

 

Next is Scout’s Exclusive Webstore cover, featuring the team about to barge in on the not-expecting-company Goblins.

 

These two covers can be had here:

The third cover — the first in a series of photo-covers that Craig is playing around with— features BIG in his natural environment, the Great Outdoors!

 

I’m not exactly sure HOW you can get this exclusive treasure, but if anyone knows, it’s theses guys…

Ahoy, Perhapa-Pals~!!

Welcome to the new and improved Perhapablog!

Here’s where, hopefully, we’ll be filling you in on what’s coming down the pike, Perhapanauts-wise, and how you too can get your grubby little hands on them.

There is a LOT going on —  truly…there are times I’m confused about all that’s happening.

So here —  in an effort to give you a cohesive and easy-to-read timeline of things — is the roll out of the gorgeous looking new Perhapanauts collection from Black Caravan/Scout.

— Our first PERHAPANAUTS NONSTOP — this is a single, stand-alone issue set up as sort of a teaser/advert for the upcoming trades —  will be out in stores November . These Nonstops will not only feature a story from the traded, but feature an ALL-NEW 10-PAGE Perhapanauts story —  this one entitled, “The KELLY GOBLINS”. 

( Note: “The Kelly Goblins” story will also be included in the First Blood trade.)

— Then, in February, our ‘re-mastered’ volume of PERHAPANAUTS: FIRST BLOOD hits the stands with some new extras and a few “director’s cut” additions to make it worth a look. And, again, the all new “The KELLY GOBLINS” is featured in the back of this trade as well.

— Our second Perhapanauts Nonstop will be solicited for a June release —  stay tuned to this blog for exact times and temperatures — and will feature the all new 10-pager, “The FLATWOODS MONSTER”!

— Then, on the heels of that fantastic issue —  in the fall of next year — we’ll see the release of the also re-mastered SECOND CHANCES, also with some “director’s cut” tweaks and the Flatwoods 10-pager.

— And that’s the rhythm we’ll be hitting; a new Nonstop every 6 months followed by the release of the accompanying trade. Look for TRIANGLE in early-2022 and TREASURE OBSCURA in the fall of that same year. All sporting glorious new covers by our one and only CRAIG ROUSSEAU!!

— And, as if that wasn’t enough to melt your cryptid-lovin’ mind — behind the scenes, CRAIG and I are hard at work putting together our next all-new Perhapanauts graphic novel —  HOST-11, the penultimate adventure which builds to our endgame as mysteries are addressed and everything gets a little crazy…

So put on your boots and gloves and join us, Gang  —  We’re excited about all of this and we hope you are too!

Greetings, Perhapa-Fans~!

Well, if you’re like me — and who isn’t…? — you hate it when four whole years flash by without even a single post. You say to yourself, “What happened? This used to be a fun website, with a hip, happenin’, fairly-regular blog followed by a community of hip, happenin’, pleasant and positive people who also happened to be fans of a certain cryptid-focused comic book.” You say, “Why was it gone? Where did it go?” and more importantly, “Can we get it back?”

We can. We will. We are.

We hope.

Back in 2016, with Facebook and Twitter and Instagram and everything else offering so much content and exposure, it felt like people were pulling away from blogs and smaller, more intimate websites. People wanted the news and a voice and to talk about the issues in wide-open forums for everyone to see. It seemed that people were abandoning their familiar, common interest groups for a place in a world-wide dialogue.

So we shut down for a while.

But now, with so many people eschewing ( I know. I had to look it up to make sure I was using it right… ) those larger, less personal apps and services, it looks like folks are once again craving that smaller community, that more intimate circle of friends, and flocking back to the blogs in droves.

So let’s try this again.

AND…what better time to re-ignite the flames of Perhapanaut Fandom than now, as SCOUT COMICS, and their awesome new imprint BLACK CARAVAN, proudly publish and present The Perhapanauts library in a beautifully packaged set of trades, each one featuring an all-new cover by the one and only CRAIG ROUSSEAU and — to sweeten the deal even more — some all-new, all-different BRAND NEW stories of your favorite team of colorful cryptids made JUST FOR YOU!

Starting with a tantalizing Perhapanauts Non-Stop no.1 in November, the Perhapanauts will be back on the stands and, hopefully, back in your hearts, for the foreseeable future. So we intend to be back here on the website, on the Perhapa-blog, keeping you updated on what we’re doing and how you can be a part of it.

We hope you’ll come back and be a part of this.
The blog, I mean.
No one likes to blog in a vacuum.

So check back here regularly. I’ll be posting weekly at least and posting exclusive updates and artwork on what Craig and I are doing.

Here, for example, is Craig’s gorgeous cover for our first Non-Stop and the story of The Kelly Goblins.

Hope to see ya soon.
