This Saturday, April 21, Tyler Chin-Tanner will be speaking at a panel for the Rebooting Democracy Festival in Portland, OR. The title of the panel is “Drawing Attention” and it will take place at the BackSpace cafe at 2:30. Here’s the write up for it.

Drawing Attention: Politics & Comics

Politics and comics go way back, and the rich relationship continues to this day. Learn how this art form has played an active role in political causes and moments from the 1800s to today with historian Gus Frederick, author of Oregon History Comics, Sarah Mirk, Floating World Comics owner Jason Leivian and local comic book artists Tyler Chin-Tanner and Breena Wiederhoeft. This session is totes free and open to the public. Backspace. 115 NW 5th Ave.

The new print run of the American Terrorist graphic novel is now available. These latest copies were done as an off-set print run and the quality is really high.The pages are nice, the binding is really sturdy. It looks great on a bookshelf andI would know because I have quite a few on my bookshelf right now.

The graphic novel is available at the AWBW Store on this site, or you can ask your local comic shop to order it from Liber Distribution. You can also try Amazon.com but they haven’t been very good at keeping it in stock.

And it’s still available digitally through Graphicly, comiXology, DriveThruComics and Wowio.

Today on the AWBW site we’re supporting the protest against the SOPA & PIPA bills. Please follow the link and sign the petition.

The full-color American Terrorist graphic novel is now available through Graphicly. It can be read with their online reader or through their apps.

They also have a free preview of it, containing the first 24 pages.

The Full Color version of the American Terrorist graphic novel is now available for download at DriveThruComics. They are the first digital provider to make the full GN available. More to come soon.

And don’t forget, print copies of the Black & White edition are still available in the AWBW store.

Time is flying by, but everything is on schedule for the release of the American Terrorist graphic novel. We’ll have copies at the A Wave Blue World table in Small Press, table # 2542. See you there!

There are now only 4 weeks left until the release of the American Terrorist graphic novel at the New York Comic Con this October 13 – 16 at the Javits Center. The book has been sent to the printers, so now it’s just a matter of waiting for it to come back.

We will be at the Small Press Expo this weekend Sept. 10 & 11. We’ll be at table F7 right next to GB Tran and his Vietnamerica graphic novel. How about that American Terrorist and Vietnamerica right next to each other! I know the American Terrorist graphic novel isn’t coming out until New York Comic Con next month, but I will have American Terrorist sketchbooks with hand drawn sketches in them and Man-Gul #1 will be out at Rian Miller‘s table and it has a pin-up by your truly.

The countdown has begun. Eight weeks until the release of the American Terrorist graphic novel at New York Comic Con on October 13-16, 2011 at the Javits Center.
