Gilamon in Kenny's Talk, Comic King #111

Kenny Chua, editor of Comic King(CK) and Popcorn magazine, wrote an article on our recently released Gilamon graphic novel, 'Zombie, Cannibal & Raygunn' in his "Kenny's Talk" column (CK#111, out now). We are very grateful of his continual support to the indie scene by constantly exposing not only us, but many other artists in CK and Popcorn. Kenny is also a veteran artist himself and hopefully we could collaborate with him in the future.

For those who want to get a copy of our graphic novel, you may email us @ gilamons[a]gmail.com. Please take note that there are only limited copies available so it would only be on a first serve basis. All books are signed. Those who are in Singapore, you could come over to STGCC(see article above) to get a copy and also meet us. Cheers!

Gilamon @ San Diego Comic Con Part 1

This year we are lucky to make our present at Comic-Con San Diego, the mother of all comics conventions, as part of the Liquid City team with Sonny Liew. Lefty , whilst attending the Con as the Editor to Strom Lion Singapore (a partner of Radical Publishing in LA), managed to participate in the Liquid City signing session at Image Comics. Here are a brief report he has for us from the Con.
