Tonight's Bedtime Reading: "How to Marry a Murderer," the third Paige Turner mystery, by Amanda Matetsky. I loved the first two books in this series so much that I contacted Amanda about to working together about 20 years ago. We cooked up some good ideas but couldn't get any publishers interested.

My latest Archie cover, "Archie & Friends: Space Adventures" #1! Coming out in April. It harkens back to the first cover I ever drew for Archie. Jason Millet on colors. I love drawing the gang, but especially with a retro space theme like this! #archiecomics #bettyandveronica #andrewpepoy #comics

Recent Bedtime Reading: The Complete Flyin' Jenny by Russell Keaton (with Gladys Parker & Marc Swayze)! I've loved Flyin' Jenny for decades (even own a Sunday original by Keaton), and Keaton is one of my big artistic influences. I'm so excited to have this to finally be able to read the whole thing.

Last night I got to see one of my favorite, new Chicago bands, Madame Reaper, live for the first time, after listening to their music online for a while. And they didn't disappoint! Fantastic show! My video doesn't really capture how good they sounded, but it will give you a taste. #music #synthpop

Listening to Soft Cell as I draw today in tribute to half the duo, Dave Ball, who passed away this week. There was a lot more to them than just "Tainted Love," and their music was very influential on young me. "Where Was Your Heart When You Needed It Most?" is my favorite.

What do I listen to while drawing comics? Lots of different things, but one thing I always listen to is a new song by Men Without Hats! 40+ years since "Safety Dance," they're even better and making music that has its roots in classic MWH but sounds new and modern.

"God, I love comics." Words written by Chris Mills just two days before we lost him yesterday and, with him, lost one of comics' greatest champions and most-underrated writers/creators. Here are covers I did for comics he planned but never got to complete. I'll read some old comics in your honor.

With the help of Dazzler, we say goodbye to New York Comic-Con. It was so good to see so many friends, fans, and fellow comics creators! Thanks to the crew behind the scenes for making it go smoothly. Hopefully I'll be back next year! Up next (in just 5 days!😳): Baltimore Comic-Con at booth 2011!
