BANANA SUNDAY back in print! IN COLOR!

Posted on by Colleen

New cover by Colleen Coover!

Paul Tobin and I are super excited to announce that Banana Sundaywill be available again from its original publisher, Oni Press, on October 24, 2018! Originally released in 2006, the new edition has been remastered withspectacular colors by Rian Sygh, and ithas been revised and edited for today’sreaders! Also, we’ve changedthe writer’scredit to Paul Tobin‘s name, rather than the pseudonym Root Nibot.

Banana Sunday is a comedy for readers of all ages that explores the themes of alienation, self-doubt, and the power of friendship. You know, high school.Banana Sunday was listed as one of the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA) Great Graphic Novels for Teens for 2007.

We welcome thisopportunity to share our early all-ages work with a new audience of readers, young and old!

“Kirby Steinberg is having a bit of trouble fitting into her new school. Sure, there’s the usual problems associated with being from “somewhere else,” but this time the new kid also happens to be the guardian for three talking primates. Chuck, the professorial orangutan. Knobby, the love-stricken spider monkey. Go-Go, the befuddled golden gorilla. These primates have learned to speak, thanks to the scientific processes of Kirby’s father. Or have they? What’s their real story? That’s what Nickels—Kirby’s new best friend and unfortunately dedicated school reporter—would like to discover. Can Kirby find time to develop a relationship with Martin, the dashing nerd? Steer clear of Skye, the high school’s #1 pillar of arrogance? Keep Knobby, Chuck and Go-Go from causing untold catastrophes? And, above all, will Kirby be able to hide the real origin of these three simians from Nickels? Oh, probably not.”

Short Comic “Rose’s Heart” Available Again!

Posted on by Colleen

Original Format

My 2012 homage to the horror tales of the comics of the 1970’s, “Rose’s Heart”, is back online! I’ve reformatted the 8-page comic into 3 parts and uploaded it to the comics app Webtoons.

Webtoons Scrolling Format

The scrolling format of Webtoons was totally new to me, so the reformatting process was a challenge I really dug! The app is free to all readers, so don’t hesitate to download it to your phone or mobile device (and then search for “Colleen Coover” to find my story). There’s some really good stuff on there!

But that’s not all the news for “Rose’s Heart”! It has just been added to the freshly Kickstarter funded anthology Gothic Tales Of Haunted Love from Bedside Press!

Gothic Tales Of Haunted Love from Bedside Press. Cover art by Leslie Doyle

A modern re-imagining of this genre, the stories feature a diverse range of heroes and villains from some of comics finest talent, and will likely feature a few stories of a woman in a white dress running away from a scary house.

Gothic Tales Of Haunted Love is expected out in 2018!

Playing around with Rebelle

Posted on by Colleen

Goofing around with a new software application. This drawing was created with Rebelle, which simulates wet and dry media,particularly watercolor, toastonishingly lifelike effect. It’s not perfect; I haven’t found if there’s a pressure sensitive brush stroke yet, and the dry medialines have a little more jitter than I’d like. But BOY, it’s cool, and I could see using it to color something in the future.
