// December 13th, 2010 // // Glamazonia, Teleny and Camille
While we were out in Los Angeles for Bent-Con, Jon Macy and I were joined by Justin Hall (on tinny Skype) and were the guests at the L.A. sound studio of the Comic Book Queers, and we recorded an hour’s worth of comics chat, gossip, foul language, and general silliness for their podcast. Evil Jeff takes over the entire episode and it’s all Wes’ Coas’! Represent!
EvilJeff takes over L.A. with the help of Zan Christensen of Northwest Press who brings his lackeys Justin Hall, creator of Glamazonia: the Uncanny Super-Tranny and Jon Macy, he of Teleny & Camille fame.
The queers talk about their books, their sex lives, queer publishers, queer creators and then Evil makes them play a game of “Marry Fuck Murder”!
You can subscribe to CBQ on iTunes, or listen to the podcast at the Comic Book Queers website.
// March 24th, 2010 // // The Mark of Aeacus
I don’t think I ever linked to this; this is the announcement of the winners of the 2008 Queerie Awards, given by the Comic Book Queers. The Mark of Aeacus won for best Queer Indie book!
// April 27th, 2008 // // Misc
Zan journeyed to Chicago this weekend to visit with pals, take in the nightlife, and hang with the Comic Book Queers! A newly blond Zan appeared at Wicker Park’s Brainstorm Movies, Comics and Games to take part in CBQ’s podcast recording session, which will be released as a future episode.
// March 26th, 2008 // // The Mark of Aeacus
Thanks to any and all who wrote in to the Comic Book Queers to nominate The Mark of Aeacus! I just got an email from Brian Andersen, the creator of the sublime So Super Duper, to let me know that we have both been nominated in the “Best Queer Indie Book” category.
Voting is now open, and I urge each and every one of you to head over and cast your vote!

In addition to the joy of hearing the boys talk about comics and ass and Brenda Dickson and all the other great things, they mentioned that the nominations are open for the 2008 Queerie Awards, which are their ultra-fabulous awards for queer comics released in 2007.
I’m not quite brazen enough to do it myself, but The Mark of Aeacus and myself fit quite nicely into a few of the award categories, and I certainly wouldn’t object to someone writing in and nominating us…
Best Out Queer Creator
(If you’re a huge fan)
Best Queer Indie Book
(Class Comics is certainly still indie at this point!)
Creator Who Looks Most Like they Would Have a Manly but Alluring Scent, Like the Smell of the Forest, or in the Case of Women, Like that of a Beautiful English Tea Garden
(Self-explanatory.)
There’s already some formidable nominations in each of these categories but, as they say, it’s an honor to be nominated, so nominate me, y’all!
// November 2nd, 2007 // // The Mark of Aeacus
Everyone’s favorite queer comics podcast, Comic Book Queers, reviewed The Mark of Aeacus on its last episode, The Cher Witch Project.
If you don’t listen to this show regularly, you should, even when they don’t talk about my book.
