Today is the official relase date of my new comic! Get it now wherever comics are sold (preferably your local book/comic shop).

Flat view at a book on top of a box of more copies of the same book. Comic cover. Text at top: “Adrian vom Baur - HeavySaurus: Vorhang auf für den Dino-Metal!” A five-piece dinosaur rock band is standing on an open-air stage playing a concert. In the foreground enthusiastic children doing the heavy metal hand sign. In the background a mountain struck by lightning.

To promote the comic and audio plays at Heavysaurus concerts, I designed this flyer with an abbreviated version of the comic prologue:

A comic page that shows a witch playing electric guitar atop a magical mountain and discovering some dinosaur eggs from which the heavy-metal kids' band Heavysaurus hatches. Title: Heavysaurus - wie alles begann...

how to be a man

9 panel comic

P1: Dayyime. We open on an exterior shot of a large modern looking conference centre. In the foreground, on a wall, the sign for the centre: "Tri-Corp Conference Centre"

In front of that, a rectangular plinth with a sign showing that a talk titled "HOW TO BE A MAN by Chad Grendel" is on

P2: a high shot of the interior of the building, in which we look down on a large conference hall, packed with people sitting in chairs. They are all sat before a stage, on which there is a lone dais, and a huge screen that displays ""HOW TO BE A MAN" in red letters against a yellow background

P3: we close in on the stage, on which a spotlight has started shining down on its centre

P4: same shot, only now someone off-panel slides a baby into the spotlight.

P5: the baby comes to a stop in the middle of the spotlight...

P6: ...and suddenly starts crying with a loud "BAWWW"

P7: A closeup look of a selection of the audience. Imagine all the stereotypes of rightwing white males, and you're probably not far off. They stare with implacable faces as the baby continues "BAWing"

P8: a closeup of the baby's face, contorted into an ugly scrunch as we reveal he has a mic attached to his right ear

P9: back to the audience, as they begin to clap politely. The crying continues as loud as ever.

Hearing all about that new artificially created actor that's going to take over the insustry

Magazine clipping of Maxim Magazines hottest 100 babes or something article where the completely computer generated Aki Ross got a render in a bikini as a way of promoting Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within.

"Why should Hollywood be concerned about an impending actors strike when such completely computer generated stars as Aki render flesh and blood thespians - not to mention their agents - downright obsolete?
Heat factor: Aki makes her debut this summer in the animated feature Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, based on the long running video game franchise"
