One for the undead homies.

R.I.P. Christopher Lee

June 17, 2015 by Chris Bolton in Blog, In Memoriam

Beloved actor Christopher Lee passed away at the age of 93. Best known for playing Dracula in many classic Hammer Horror films and, most recently, Saruman in the Lord of the Rings films and Count Dooku in the Star Wars prequel trilogy, Lee was iconic in voice and appearance. He will be dearly missed and impossible to replace.

In this image, SMASH artist Kyle Bolton pays tribute to one of the great undead.

Want to Read More Smash?

June 09, 2015 by Chris Bolton in Blog, Comic, Webcomic

Did you know we publish a webcomic about Smash? Every Tuesday we post a brand-new comic page just like this one.

We're doing this to provide brand-new, exciting SMASH comics while we work hard to get Book 2 finished. Writing and drawing an entire graphic novel can take a long time -- sometimes a lot longer than we'd like -- so the webcomic ensures there are fresh SMASH adventures to read while you wait!

Click here to read more and come back next Tuesday to see the Monster Fighters fight the monster!

Everyone say "SMAAAASH!"

SMASH Reading at Sweetbriar Elementary!

May 28, 2015 by Chris Bolton in Blog, Readings, School Visits

SMASH writer Chris A. Bolton got to meet and chat with the amazing 5th graders at Sweetbriar Elementary School in Troutdale, OR.

These enthusiastic kids are studying graphic novels and are about to make their own, so Chris talked about their creative process and showed them a few things from How to Make Comics - the Smash Way.

(And yes, Chris mentioned that when he was a kid, they didn't study comics in school -- they tried to hide them from the teachers!)

Big thanks to Lynn Reaney and all the staff and faculty at Sweetbriar for being awesome. And HUGE thanks to the students for their super-smart questions and great ideas! We can't wait to see how their comics come out.

Chris shows the kids how to thumbnail a comic page.

Chris tries to draw... *Gulp!*

The kids made their 1st comic - a banana and a pickle in a car! (It doesn't end happily for the banana.)

A roomful of eager young comic lovers!

Look away! It's too horrible for mortal eyes!

Read This If You Dare!!

May 26, 2015 by Chris Bolton in Blog, Webcomic, Teasers

This week's webcomic is SO huge and scary that this tiny picture is all we're allowed to show you, by law!

If you're brave and strong enough, feel free to click here and see the whole page. But please be careful! Have someone dial 9 and 1 and hold their finger over the other 1, just in case you pass out from shock and horror. We don't want anyone to get hurt because of this awfulness!

May 20, 2015 by Chris Bolton in Blog, Events, School Visits, Readings

SMASH artist Kyle Bolton gave a reading for the kids at B.F. Day Elementary School in Seattle. A wild and raucous time was had by all! Obviously the "B.F." must stand for "Bright Future!"
