Hello Legionnaires, I'm thrilled to announce that "The Downward Spirals -- Volume 1: Twisted Tails" is now available for order! You may be familiar with my effort to document the lives of my band of hockey-playing possums over at the "What Are You Blogging About Today" thread, and if you are you're in for a treat!

I've collected all the strips together -- and edited a few to spruce them up -- and made them into a comic. Aside from the original 31 "Spirals" comics you also get:

  • A glimpse at what the Spirals "away" jerseys look like!
  • A "Season End wrap-up,"
  • An unseen 32nd "Spirals" comic (that segues into their next endeavor!)
  • A "Poodles vs. Penguins" double-page spread
  • Four episodes of "The Long Job"
  • My eternal gratitude for supporting my passion!

 AND NOW A Q&A FOR THE UNINITIATED!

WHAT IS THIS? The "The Downward Spirals -- Volume 1: Twisted Tails" is a 40-page collection of comic strips about a team of hockey-playing opossums.

 

SAY WHAT? HOCKEY-PLAYING POSSUMS? Yep! You read it right! The Downward Spirals is the all-possum squad in the Meadow Hockey League, which also includes raccoons (The Apple Corps), Beavers (The Dam Quixotes), Skunks (The Marsh Invaders) and several others.

 

HOCKEY? I LIKE (some other sport) MORE! This isn't a comic just about hockey. It's a comic about sports in general, about working on a team and about how you play your specific game.

 

WHO ARE YOU? I'm John Simcoe, the writer and artist for the comic! I grew up in Corning, N.Y. and now live in York, Pa., where I work in the newspaper business. You can visit my comic/art/toy/pop culture/movie blog at http://www.soundadvicefortoday.com

 

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST? For most people, the comic is priced at $4, which is just 10-cents a page! Retailers can order it in larger amounts and get a good deal on the price. Shipping for single copies is just 99-cents!

WHAT IF I'M AN INTERNATIONAL BUYER? No problem! I love all the hockey-playing countries! The shipping is just a little bit higher, I'm afraid to say! But please, order anyway!

 

WHAT ELSE CAN YOU DO TO CONVINCE ME TO BUY? There are options to include my first comic, "Redlighter: Light it Up" with your order. You can also order a made-just-for-you original art card with your order!

 

HOW CAN I HELP? I'm glad you asked. Please, SHARE this link on your Facebook wall or other social networking site, especially if you're a comic fan or a sports fan. If your neither one of those, then do it anyway just to be nice! :)

 

WHAT WAS THAT ORDERING WEBSITE AGAIN? I'm glad you asked that too!!  It's ...
