Greetings from the GOBK universe! Its been a minute since our last blog so I thought I would give you some intel on our THANG.

The MAN SHARK is coming out quite nicely and my man Scott "Grumpy Old Bastard" Williams" is ON the RENEGADE RABBI issue as we blog. We are way ahead of schedule and thanks to our main man Eddie Torres, our editor in chief, the SWIIISH saga is under way with 4 issues in which we will release on our agenda for 2015. You can catch issue 1 of SWIIISH on DRIVE THRU COMICS. So get on and check us out. If you have'nt caught us on FACEBOOK, find us and like our page and keep in tune with our progress as we move forward. Its been a fast and furious adventure since we started in January.

Much are in the works. Good news in fact and this sunday, the "BASTARDS" will hold a meeting to discuss business concerning an opportunity with thanks to our GOBK brother Titus Thomas, will give us a push for PR in the COMICON circuit so stay tuned.

We thank all of you for your input on FACEBOOK and on this BLOG. The numbers climb everyday on our stats from all over the globe. Keep it coming dear fans and hold on to your hats...more videos and news will be coming your way!

On behalf of our crew, we say thanks and remember...

Stay GRUMPY!

Now that we are on the map and selling our comic on Drive Thru Comics, we now have some breathing room to add other titles to our "THANG" at GOBK. As of current, Scott "GRUMPY OLD BASTARD" Williams is working on THE RENEGADE RABBI and I am working on THE MAN SHARK. As mentioned before, the release will be in 2016. We incorporated these characters in the SWIIISH series. The 3rd and 4th issue introduces them so watch out for  these issues when we release it.

THE MAN SHARK will be a good story and the art... I will keep it as tight as God allows me to do so. This will be an issue from the heart because the history behind this character means so much to me. If it was not for my pops...well, I hope you enjoy it. With our Editor in Chief/ Colorist Eddie Torres on board, he undoubtedly has our back and we have mad love for him. He is the anchor in this crew and has our respect no doubt.

As for THE RENEGADE RABBI, this project has been on the drawing table for 2 years now and with a great cry from those in the circle and outside, it had to be done. You can catch RR's origin in SWIIISH 3 which will be released in August. Pretty intense and as we said, this is an 18 and over MAG kiddies, with a touch of 70's grit, blood and guts. We aint holdin back in our publication so don't hate my peoples. We said this from the begining so hold on to your hats or your skirts. 

The summer will be upon us soon so stay kool and keep hydrated...with booze!

And remember...STAY GRUMPY!

My name is Mark Mills. I was a Marine Biologist...at 16. A prodigy amongst the masses most would say but my life was miserable. The media, the papers and interviews...my god damn parents with their constant pushing to satisfy their appetites to fulfill their arrogance.

Miserable.

But my misery was nothing compared to what I had become upon an unfortunate accident...

The summer of 1975 was epic. JAWS came into theatre's throughout the world and we never went into the water again at any beach without that fucking music playing in our minds. It was a masterpiece done by a young Steven Spielberg and he never looked back.

The Man Shark.

I was 13 years old. My dad was off to college as we use to say but in reality, he was in Danbury CT. serving a 5 year stint. I use to draw comics on type writer paper and mail them to him. My old man always supported me in the arts. We joke now that it took me 50 years to take this shit seriously and make something of it and so...here we are. I loved JAWS and sat our kitchen table one day with typewriter paper I asked my mom for and went to town.

Now of course, you want to hear more but, if I did so, you would'nt enjoy what is to come in upcoming issues we are working on. Tsk Tsk Tsk...be faithful fans and await what is coming your way.

We have news coming your way. Good news. Be patient as we are. Our editor in chief, Eddie Torres is a perfectionist and has the undertaking of making our project the best it can be. So stay tuned.

The weather is fabulous, the winter is over and the spring and summer...enjoy. The best from our crazy crew and remember...

Stay GRUMPY!

As we embarked on this journey in 2015, let me bring you back. WAY back. SWIIISH is a mere part of the Grumpy universe. It evolves around Connie Quasar. Four bio-cyptic keys that fell to earth. If you followed our blog, and you should, you would know the origin of this affair. So get busy!

This was a brainchild of Scott Williams. Not of the Jim Lee team. An alumni of Art and Design High School here in NYC. The illustration presented for you was done in 1989. When Scott brought this to my office today, I was floored! Our THANG at Grumpy is about the 60's and 70's flavor. It was raw back then on many levels. When I saw this piece, it took me back to the 70's when my room was littered with fluorescent posters and a big old black light to enhance the mood.

What intrigued me most was the peaceful look on Connie's face while Barry White sang his lullaby to put her to sleep. What better maestro of the 70's to do so?

So while we continue to get the bugs in order so to speak on our issue of SWIIISH 1 through 4, stay tuned. It's coming soon to a website near you!

We thank you for your support and interest and remember...

Stay GRUMPY!

Spring is finally upon us. The leaves have started to sprout on the trees, the weather is finally allowing the sun to warm us up slowly...and the grumpy old bastards have finally come out of hibernation from a cold, heartless winter with some incredible work done.

We apologize to our peeps for being off the radar for a spell, but we have been VERY busy making it happen for our SWIIISH series for Grumpy Old Bastard Komix. As of now, one out of two major submissions have been approved for distribution. However, we were not satisfied with our proofs and decided we ain't gonna make our move until it's right. Time is on our side so...

What the hay.

As we wrap up issue 4 of SWIIISH, we are...well, all will be disclosed soon. More news and updates are on the way via a video and our FACEBOOK page. 

Until then, and that will be very soon, please keep the faith and hold on to your pistol irons and remember...

Stay Grumpy!

Greetings from the GRUMPY OLD BASTARD KOMIX universe!

As our brother Henry Ortega has touched down in NYC from Japan, we are excited that our meeting this Sunday will include our brother and get down to business concerning many projects, events, merchandising and of course the SWIIISH series.

As mentioned in our last blog, the Renegade Rabbi will be the topic. The SWIIISH series is on the verge of completion in May and much has to be discussed on the graphic novel we are preparing for concerning the Renegade Rabbi.

We are taking a different approach on the art and story line concerning the Rabbi. We are keeping it
OLD SCHOOL and since time is on our side for the time being, we will handle this story creatively and responsibly. So stay tuned.

Lance Tooks of GRUMPY OLD BASTARD KOMIX Europe is well informed in the loop and Titus Thomas is as well. My conversation with Titus was very productive concerning our website and animation goals. Unfortunately, they will not be present for our meeting this Sunday but they are well informed and will be kept in the loop as we move forward.

With that, a video of our meeting will be taped and downloaded this Sunday.

Until our next post and blog, thank you from myself and the crew and remember my peeps!

Stay GRUMPY!

Greetings from the Grumpy Old Bastard Komix Universe. Alot has happened for us so fast and the news gets better and better as we keep on top of our project. The dedication of our crew deserves a big bravo as we move further to our dream.

As we speak, Henry "the legend" Ortega is on a jet coming to stateside from Okinawa, Japan. He is our man out in the far east and he will be a part of a corporate meeting we have next Friday concerning some decisions we need to take to go forward in our 'THANG". Also joining us is our man Titus V. Thomas who will present some options in the animation presentation of our ideas. Of course, the GOBK crew of NYC will be present as well.

As we work on issues 3 and 4 of SWIIISH, the response to the Renegade Rabbi has been quite overwhelming. Many have asked when we are we deciding to launch this character. Well, he HAS been launched and introduced in the SWIIISH prologues. You of course have no idea of this because the other issues of SWIIISH have not been posted. But stay tuned. Our first issue was free. All other issues on a time sensitive basis will be up for  purchase for a small fee on...

Well...stay tuned. 

There is so much in the works my friends. Be patient as we MUST be and soon, sooner than you think, all will be disclosed...soon. 

The winter has been cruel yes, but the cabin fever left the GRUMPY OLD BASTARDS inside our fortress of solitude to create and remain ahead of schedule so props to Old Man Winter. 

Again, we thank you for all of your support. And of course...

Stay GRUMPY!
