Jack and Tony are two beer-lovin' guys who spend a LOT of their time drinking and playing pool at their favourite pub. They also love a good bar brawl. And don't under-estimate Tony. He may be a penguin but he can pack one heck of a punch! These two tough guys first appeared in a pair of flash-animated webcomics which can still be viewed at www.cartoonmilitia.com. They were my first endeavour after deciding to quit my storyboard job and pursue a career in comic books. There haven't been many new J&T adventures lately but you can get caught up on the old ones by getting the upcoming collection.... JACK SPADE & TONY TWO-FIST #1 hits stores in January! A collection of Jack & Tony's adventures will be available to comic stores on January 26th, 2005 from Cartoon Militia. This 32-page full-size comic collects four pub-crawling stories including "The Pool Game", "New Management", "Ruffneck Rumble!" and the one-pager "What's For Lunch?" These stories represent my earliest comic book work, starting in 1998. PLEASE ask your local comic store to order this comic book. Since this is pretty much an unknown comic from an unknown publisher, most stores won't be ordering it unless you ask them to. JACK SPADE & TONY TWO-FIST #1 is listed on page 246 (publisher: Cartoon Militia) in the November Diamond Previews catalogue. To make ordering even easier for your store, you can hand 'em the order code: NOV04 2536. Thanks!
