Our chat guest Friday night is writer, artist and creator of "Tabloia Weekly Magazine," Chris Wisnia. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.tabloia.com">http://www.tabloia.com</a><!-- m -->
Chris Wisnia is a thirty-two year-old resident of sunny Davis, California, where he teaches private guitar lessons by day and writes and draws comics in his spare time. His self-published book, "Tabloia Weekly Magazine," is an anthology of horror, film noir, satire, and social commentary.
The book's main story, "The Lump," surrounds the discovery of severed body parts on the freeway. The reader will meet tattoo artists, coroners, private investigators, drug dealers, a hand-transplant specialist, and homicide detectives as they attempt to unravel the mystery.
The book also features "Dr. DeBunko, Debunker of the Supernatural." Dr. Michael Shermer, publisher of "Skeptic Magazine," director of the Skeptics Society, and author of "Why People Believe Weird Things" said Dr. DeBunko is "...the coolest, hippest thing to hit skepticism since Lisa Simpson [read] Jr. Skeptic magazine (when Homer had his alien abduction experience)."
The other features are the Mickey Spillane-inspired Dick Hammer: Conservative Republican Private Investigator, and "Doris Danger Seeks...Where Giant Monsters Creep and Stomp," a retro King Kong-style giant monster story inked by Dick Ayers. Mr. Ayers is a living legend in the comics industry whose work includes classic issues of the Fantastic Four, the Hulk, Captain America, The Avengers, and more.
Each issue contains pin-ups by some of the biggest names in the comics industry, including Mike Allred, Sam Kieth, Gene Colan, Los Bros Hernandez, Russ Heath, Bill Sienkiewicz, Ryan Sook, Thomas Yeates, Irwin Hasen, Steve Rude, John Severin, Ramona Fradon, Tony Millionaire, and more.
Chris will also be contributing his artwork to Sam Kieth's Ojo (Oni Press), beginning with issue #2. He and Tabloia have interviews and reviews posted at the following sites:
