Who Was that Man? By Marv-El

The title comes from a 1961 hit by Barry Mann called “Who Put The Bomp,” asking the musical question who was responsible for the creation of doo-wop, more or less. The song doesn’t reveal the answer, but I wanted to know something more critical: who was the father of rock and roll?

First it was SPAM! Now it's BACON!

by StrayCatBlues on April 18, 2012, 11:03:00 PM

Over the past couple of months we have seen artist Phil Winslade take on some unique projects.

After his own Spam Man project, here we see him in the running for a Kick Starter project by Dana Moreshead BACON the COMIC BOOK.

WHAT THEY WANT TO DO: Make a comic book starring Bacon packed with action, adventure, fun, funny and talking Bacon.

WHAT YOU GET TO DO: You help pick the artist!
Three talented professionals are on deck to draw Bacon, so you pledge to vote for your favorite.

Ty Templeton. Popular Canadian artist and writer who first received attention for Stig's Inferno and Critters. He has continually created major publishers including Marvel, DC, IDW and Bongo. Ty's work on Batman Adventures earned him an Eisner Award nomination for "Best Cover Artist" and allowed him to take home a Joe Shuster Award for "Outstanding Writer." He's is an Instructor at the Toronto Cartoonists Workshop.

Scott Koblish. Scott has pencilled and inked hundreds of comics for Marvel, DC, Platinum and Disney. His most recognized work has included runs on the Avengers, Captain America, The Jet Pack Pets, Hulk, Marvel Adventures Super-Heroes, O.M.A.C, Punisher, Thor and the Weapon. He is a creative dynamo.

Phil Winslade. Phil has drawn professionally for twenty years and been nominated for two Eisner awards and one Reuben by the National Cartoonists Society. He has drawn a plethora of characters including Batman, Daredevil, Judge Dredd, Wonder Woman and Howard the Duck. Phil has also co-created original characters with Garth Ennis, Steve Gerber, Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray. His own project, Spam Man launched in April. Phil enjoys drawing different genres, from historical drama to science fiction, from swashbuckling action to satire.

So the way Kickstarter works is your pledges determine which of these talented illustrators will bring The Mouth-Watering Adventures of Bacon to the printed page. Every dollar you pledge is equal to one vote.

THE STORY: The Mouth-Watering Adventures of Bacon will take readers on a comic book adventure of power-packed with action, conspiracy and intrigue starring the pork Kwai Chang Caine, Bacon!

Some of you may be aware that over on the social networking sites there has been some fun and games with advertising this project.

Of course as a fellow Brit and a Philopot! (a Phil Winslade fan) it was hard to resist not to get on board as

OUR QUEEN AND COUNTRY DEPENDS ON IT!!
