HIGH MOON VOL. 1 TP
Written by David Gallaher
Art and cover by Steve Ellis

The first winner of Zuda Comics’ monthly online competition, HIGH MOON is a horror adventure of cowboys and werewolves in the Old West. HIGH MOON begins with a gruff bounty hunter, Matthew Macgregor, investigating a series of strange happenings in the dusty town of Blest, Texas. While Macgregor seeks to uncover the town's dark secrets, he tries desperately to keep his own hidden.

The horrors of Blest ripple out to the mountainous town of Ragged Rock, Oklahoma, where another detective investigates a series of murders following a bizarre train robbery. Uncovering an age-old vendetta, this mysterious lawman is forced to do battle with a steam-driven monstrosity.

Macgregor's tale concludes as a young woman's dire call for assistance leads him through the Black Hills of South Dakota and into devastating battle between two warring factions. Macgregor must face down the United States government - only to discover a secret ritual that spells the destruction of the American frontier.

Advance-solicited; on sale October 7 • 192 pg, 8.375” x 6”, FC, $14.99 US

Kate Winslet vows to cover up in films

2009-02-24T12:53:04Z

Hollywood actress Kate Winslet fears she is getting a bad reputation for stripping off in her movies - and has vowed never to bare all on the big-screen again.

The British star is not afraid of going nude in front of the cameras - she has flashed the flesh in more than 10 films, including Titanic, Hamlet, and 2008's The Reader.

But she fears getting a reputation for baring all - and the Oscar winning star admits she is unlikely to strip off for a role again.

She tells Time magazine, "I think I won't. I can't keep getting away with it, and I don't want to become 'that actress who always gets her kit off'."

HIGH MOON named "Webcomic of The Year"

2009-02-17T12:52:06Z

HIGH MOON named "Webcomic of The Year"

Here the news directly from webcomicgeek itself:

High Moon wins webcomic of the year ‘o8 by popular demand and I’m please to go with the majority for once. A professionally produced comic that deserves it own print run. Superb atmospheric artwork from Steve Ellis captures the essence of David Gallaher’s masterful writing. This is a comic I would pay for in a financial crisis; publishers take note.

And that's not all!

Best art goes to Jeremy Love for Bayou for artwork that is atmospheric and dreamlike by turns. For me it is the art that captures the essence of Love’s narrative. Patrick Morgan’s work as colourist on this title cannot be ignored as it gives a vibrancy that brings the images to life.

Congratulations to Jeremy Love and Patrick Morgan for their win! And congratulations for all of the support!

'Prisoner' actor Patrick McGoohan dies in LA

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Patrick McGoohan, an Emmy-winning actor who created and starred in the cult classic television show "The Prisoner," has died. He was 80.

Fish lives out of water for 21 hours

2008-12-29T15:23:24Z

Ginger the goldfish has amazed experts by surviving out of water for up to 21 hours.

He was found lying on the floor behind a chest by owner Barbara Woodward at her home at 7am.

She assumed he was dead and, as she could not move the heavy chest, left the pet and went to work, reports The Sun.

But when she returned at 8pm, Ginger was still alive and flapping.

He was last seen in his tank at 11pm the night before - and so could have been out of water an incredible 21 hours.

A local vet said fish usually die in minutes without water as they need it to breathe.

Ginger was a gift to receptionist Barbara, 61, from her husband Alan, 62.

She said in Gloucester: "I can't believe it. He looked lifeless and I had planned on burying him. It's a real Christmas miracle."

It's that holiday time of the year - but as we all know, most holiday songs are total shit.

TDHBD provides an alternative to the standard holiday fare by offering some non-traditional and original songs to review and add to your holiday library. Some of these tracks are rare, some are personal favorites, and still others ... ummm ... unique. To conserve bandwidth, I'll be rotating these out from time to time, if you've missed one, drop me a line. I may repeat a few tunes from last year, for those who missed them before.
