If you haven't yet checked out my work or are just looking for a
good deal on fun comics, I'm offering a gob of my wares this week at
discounted prices!
The Winter Blues Fun Pack includes:
-The Signifiers #1 and 2
The Signifiers is my flagship title, a genre-bending, epic sci-fi
adventure. #2 has an interview with Tom Scioli (Transformers vs. GI Joe,
American Barbarian) on the current state of comic book distribution and
lots of unpublished Scioli artwork. Both issues also feature Landlark,
the Heat-Seeking Dwarf! The first issue is 48 pages; the second, 52
pages.
"Just read Michael Neno's The Signifiers - one of the strangest, coolest comics I've read all year" - Paul Pope, on Twitter
"I really enjoyed Landlark, the Heat-Seeking Dwarf. I was captivated by
it. I felt like I was really watching these strange events unfold
before me." - Tom Scioli
"If Jack Kirby and Paul Pope had ever
gotten drunk together and produced a comic book, The Signifiers would be
it. Reading The Signifiers #1 reminded me of the first time I read Love
& Rockets." - Leroy Douresseaux, The Comic Book Bin.
-Reactionary Tales #1
My Xeric grant-winning title is the intro to The Signifiers Universe, the intro to the series This Eternal Flaw and Larvae Boy, Emperor of the Insect
World, and features an introduction written and drawn by Paul Pope, "The
Ballad of Michael Neno".
- The Quacky Pig and Friends Coloring Book
My first, magazine-sized coloring book features highlights hand-painted
on the front and back cover of every copy. It's twisted fun in the
style of old Whitman coloring books.
"The undeniable
magnificence of Quacky Pig leaves me scratching my head in admiration" -
Steve Lieber (Conan the Barbarian, The Road to Perdition)
- A random issue of my Pictures of Benevolence mini comics
- A kitschy Underwater Cats button
- A different Underwater Cats greeting card
That's $23 worth of goodness for $20, plus free shipping! Just email me at: mneno@columbus.rr.com for payment arrangements.
Thanks to Ricki Elliot (who posted an article this week on the Do You
Remember: Classic Old Columbus Facebook group), a mystery has been solved. The
1955 article about the opening of the record department in downtown
Columbus Lazarus Dept, Store mentioned a special Lazarus Sampler 45
co-produced with RCA. I've owned the 45 for as long as I can remember
and it's a fascinating artifact, a creepy and weird mixture of Henri
Rene, Rachmaninoff's Prelude in C Sharp Minor and the Three Suns. I used
my beat-up copy on the inside front cover of The Signifiers #1
(altering it to include the Signifiers logo). There will be more musical
cues and allusions, as usual, in The Signifiers #3 - for those who know
where to look.
I still have The Signifiers button packs in stock if anyone wants 'em. $6, First Class shipping!

The Signifiers #1 and 2 two-pack sale: $14 ppd. Issue 2 features an
interview with Tom (Transformers vs. GI Joe) Scioli on the current state
of comic book distribution, with previously unpublished Scioli art!
"Just read Michael Neno's The Signifiers--one of the strangest, coolest
comics I've read all year." - Paul Pope

Excellent news! I just got word from Paul Pope that our '95 interview for The Signifiers
Vol. III is a go - no changes needed! This is a long interview which
will feature much never before published Pope art. Above: a Pope sketch
of Kamandi and Klik-Klak.
Copies of Columbus' own The Signifiers will be available at the Local Comics Pop Shop! The Signifiers is a wacked out, retro psychedelic trip. The second issue features an interview with Tom Scioli (Transformers vs. G.I. Joe)!
