Everything’s Coming Up Rick Veitch

The veteran cartoonist turned pioneering comics web presence has three projects ready to go for 2007, building on last year's Abraxas and the Earthman re-release and Can't Get No original graphic novel.

* a collection of painted comics from EPIC Magazine called Shiny Beasts that Veitch himself will release in April; this includes the well-regarded pieces "Shipmates" and "Love Doesn't Last Forever."

* a "remastered" version of his 1984 effort for Marvel's graphic novel line, Heartburst, also from Veitch's King Hell Press and due late this year.

* a new Vertigo series, Army@Love, which comes out starting next month. Veitch talks with PWCW about that series here.

What's more interesting than usual about this slate of books is how Veitch is blending the work he controls, now commercially viable again in book form, with mainstream company work to put forward a kind of one-artist continuity. This isn't always easy, as a lot of cartoonists, artists and writers that work in various corners of the comics field will have works that make you go, "I didn't know that was one their books."
