FALLEN ANGEL #3 Preview, or, “What’s all this “Mature Reader” fuss about, anyway?”

Read for yourself. Here are the first five pages of FALLEN ANGEL #3. Yes, it’s “For Mature Readers”, which means that you probably shouldn’t be reading if you are upset by drawings of pretty females in schoolgirl uniforms, women with bindings on their feet, or possibly inappropriate touching of a young schoolgirl’s knee…

(What? Me using lurid and overwrought descriptions to tittilate and get more people to read Peter’s book than otherwise might? Perish the thought!)

CODENAME: COURAGE

I suppose, now that it’s hit the web (after all, Mark Evanier talks about it here) that we can let the cat out of the bag.

The film version of CODENAME: COURAGE will be out July 4, 2004, lord willing and the creek don’t rise. The beginning of the promotional site is up here, I assume it will get better as it gets closer to release. Here’s hoping this film is closer to Peter’s version of his comic than Hulk was.

Don Swan’s documentary about the process of this thing going from comic book to movie has also generated some interest, and may be distributed by Miramax. Peter does show up in the documentary, and details on that can be found here.

Back at PAD HQ…

Peter’s going to be on the road for a while, between Boston, Shore Leave going on now and lord knows where next week, plus somewhere along the line he has to write those books you love… so I’m going to putting various things up in the meantime.

First off, we point you to Mark Evanier’s blog, which points us to Herb Trimpe’s website, and a few other Trimpe tidbits that are elsewhere on the web This link goes to a recent interview, in connection with the Hulk movie. This link goes to the article Herb wrote for The New York Times about how his career in comics ended due to apparent ageism…

And this link tells how Herb pitched in after the 9/11 tragedies and worked at Ground Zero for the Red Cross.

More to come, including a whole passel of BIDs recently unearthed.
