A Writing Self

Read this quote by Salman Rushdie today and it struck a chord so I thought I'd share...

"There's a writing self which is not quite your ordinary social self and which you don't really have access to except at the moment when you're writing, and certainly in my view, I think of that as my best self. To be able to be that person feels good; it feels better than anything else."

Tales of the Fear Agent TPB

Got a box in the mail today from Dark Horse and I had no clue what it was. Imagine my surprise when I opened it up to discover comp copies of Rick Remender's TALES OF THE FEAR AGENT TPB inside. This volume collects all the Fear Agent back-ups and short stories people have done over the years for Rick, and includes a little tale that I did with Japanese manga artist Tommy Ohtsuka! I had no idea it was already collected and on sale. I was really happy with the way this story turned out and I hope that you'll check it out and enjoy it! Here's the info...

My Favorite Wonderlost Review Yet

"What Cebulski accomplishes is a simultaneous reminder of why we mature and why we must hold onto our youth, and for someone to have the guts to actually put these reminders into print is either very stupid or very passionate."

Aspen Showcase: Fathom... by me!!

I have the pleasure of being able to write for Aspen Comics this summer and dive into the world of their flagship character, Fathom! I'm having a ball telling a tale of Aspen Matthew's teen years in this one-shot that hits in June. The art is being done by the incredible Talent Caldwell, marking his long-awaited return to the Aspen universe! I couldn't be happier and hope you'll check it out!!

Here's the info...

ASPEN SHOWCASE: ASPEN MATTHEWS #1

Written by C.B. Cebulski, pencils by Talent Caldwell, colors by John Starr.

Aspen's newest anthology series, Aspen Showcase, combines some of today's finest creators with several of comics best loved properties. Reunions abound in this very special one-shot as artist Talent Caldwell dives back into the Aspen universe to take on its flagship character, Aspen Matthews. Battling the Blue and saving the world are hardly any challenge compared to the troubling life of high school adolescence! Writer C. B. Cebulski takes readers on a journey back to Aspen's childhood as she attends her high school reunion and runs into some very special friends from her past, reminding her of a few special memories as well!

This issue features two covers, one by Talent Caldwell and another by Ale Garza. Check 'em out!!
