JOHNNY RECON #02 COVER CONCEPTING BEGINS!
A few of tonight’s cover concepts for issue No.02. I still haven’t exactly found the composition I want, but I did garner a lot of great ideas tonight, I have a feeling tomorrow will bring a final layout!
I hope you enjoy seeing into the creative process!

JOHNNY RECON sketch by IDW artist, JK Woodward!
Hullo Recon Rangers!
It’s been a long time since I chimed in here, i’ve been busy with a lot of non-Johnny related stuff and I don’t want to bog down this page with all sorts of crazy “other stuff.”
BUT Now there’s a lot of great Johnny news coming your way!
Scott is nearly done with the first draft of Johnny Recon No.02 and from what I know of it already, it sounds amazing. I hope I can do it justice!
I’ve decided for issue 2 i’m going to keep the creative process well documented here on the website from when I get the first draft to the day we send the book off to the printers, so stay tuned to this page.
Lots of great JOHNNY RECON news in the “possible publishers” news bracket too, but I can’t go into that till anything is concrete, but thanks twitter fans, for asking!
In the meantime, check out this awesome little sketch by IDW artist, and new friend, James Kenneth Woodward! Go pick up Fallen Angel at your local comic shop, now. Run, don’t walk!
Till the next update, I remain,

Wait….nope, sorry…

MN FALLCON 2009 WRAP-UP
‘Sup, Rangers!
FALLCON went tremendously well for us and we want to shout out our sincere thank you’s to everyone who stopped by and talked, bought from, and stared at us. Scott and I had an awesome time and can’t wait to be a part of FALLCON 2010.
Also a very special thanks to all the people that organized the show. I’ve been to a lot of shows in my life and no one has ever been more organized or treated us as well as you did, much love. That chili was the bee’s knees.
Another special thanks to all the fellow creators we met. You’re all good people, especially our new buddies, Chad Spilker and Chris Rich-Mckelvey and an old buddy, Jordan Gunderson. You guys were hilarious, and we can’t wait to hang with you again. You’re good people!
FALLCON also marked the last of the 2009 conventions. The new season doesn’t start till spring 2010 and POPGUNPULP Comics plans to bring JOHNNY RECON on the road to as many shows as we can make, as well as some store appearances from now till then. It will be a banner year for our little adventure book, believe me. Issue No.02 is being worked on right now and we’ve got something special cooked up for it. It’ll require some ‘esplainin,’ so stay tuned for announcements throughout the rest of the year.
What else, What else?
Original art pages from JOHNNY RECON No.01 and the convention prints will be available online very soon. I’m very excited to be able to offer those to you and collectors. We have a couple FALLCON prints still avilable as well, so i’ll get those on the site soon. Literally, I think there’s two left.
That’s all I can think of for now. Just because the convention season is over doesn’t mean i’m not going to be continuing to make all sorts of posts on the site. So stay glued to your screens!

“…because ray-guns are just cooler.”
Day 2! Stop in by if you’re in the area. We’ll try and post updates throughout the day.
It’s on!
FALLCON 2009
Woop! Woop!

JOHNNY RECON is ready for FALLCON this weekend! Are you??
Hi everyone!
This coming Saturday and Sunday, Scott and I will be attending the 2009 MN FALLCON, held in the Grandstand at the MN State Fairgrounds in St. Paul. This is our first hometown show and we’re super excited for it. FALLCON has really grown over the years and has become quite the event. Click HERE for times, directions, etc. We’d love to see you, so stop on by and if we don’t already know you personally, make sure to introduce yourself! As always, we promise the fun.
We’ll obviously be selling JOHNNY RECON No.01, I’ll be doing commissions and sketches, we’ll have what’s left of our previous exclusive prints and also our brand new FALLCON 2009 EXCLUSIVE print (See above!) or follow THIS LINK to get a better look at it. I’ve got something a little special for this print…
The FALLCON Exclusive print is in two versions, an A and a B version. The A version is as you see here, and the B version is a yellowed “vintage” version. Both prints are VERY limited to 9 prints of each version. If all 18 prints sell on Saturday, I will print another run of 9 for a C version available on Sunday (The benefit of living mere miles from the Convention :) )
All versions are signed and numbered and available at the POPGUNPULP table for $10.00 Special Convention Deal: If you buy the FALLCON print, you can pick up any of the other prints for $5.00
In other news, JOHNNY RECON No.01 SOLD OUT the first week at the SOURCE Comics and Games! Scott and I are like giddy little school girls about it. We’re so flattered that our book continues to sell exceptionally well and publishers have definitely taken a notice.
That’s all I got for now. Hopefully we’ll see you at FALLCON this weekend! Look for the bright red POPGUNPULP tablecloth, two handsome dudes, and our new awesome JOHNNY RECON backdrop display!

Space is a very shiny place in JOHNNY RECON!
Hello Recon Rangers!
Finally put the finishing touches on the JOHNNY RECON vinyl banner the other night. I think it turned out super wicked space awesome and can’t wait to have it standing behind us at all our upcoming conventions and appearances. Click HERE if you want to hear me rant some on the artistic process.
In other news, JOHNNY RECON No.01 is now available at THE SOURCE COMICS + GAMES in Falcon Heights MN, Big Brain Comics in downtown Minneapolis MN, and our flagship JOHNNY RECON retailer, the COMIC COLLEGE in uptown Minneapolis MN. So stop into one of those fine stores and pick up a copy if you haven’t gotten one yet.
Yet another thanks goes out to all the people who showed up at the JOHNNY RECON No.01 release party. Scott and I are still on cloud 309 about that.
Gearing up for FALLCON in just a few weeks!
Stay tuned Rangers!

To all who attended last night’s release party and to all who couldn’t make it but extended their well wishes. We can’t say it enough, thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
And thank you.
We had a phenomenal turn out last night and we couldn’t have been more pleased to celebrate the release of Johnny’s first issue with our friends, family, and fans. You’re all a classy crew. You’re the first of the Recon Rangers.
There’s a lot going on with JOHNNY RECON right now, some we can share and some we cannot, but issue No.02 is coming this Winter and it’s the beginning of something big.
Keep an eye on the website, we’ll be sharing everything we can talk about with you as POPGUNPULP brings you the further DARING HI-FI ADVENTURE TALES of JOHNNY RECON!
Stay tuned Rangers!

JOHNNY RECON VINYL BANNER Inks! - Mission Accomplished.
Hey Recon Rangers! Just finished the inks to the banner and thought I’d share with you. I go into a little bit of detail as far as my inking process goes over at my DEVIANTart page if you want to take a look.
I’m beyond excited for the big Release bash tonight! It’s going to be a blast, I promise. Scott and I have already heard so many encouraging words from all of you, much love and respect to all y’all.
It’s also my birthday, so having that many people there will totally boost my ego to astronomical proportions. ZOOM!
See you guys and dolls tonight!
