Comic Art and Stuff from Cliff Chiang
Forgot to post this earlier in the week, for Lady Gaga’s birthday. This is a strip I illustrated in 2010 for GQ’s End of the Year special, written by the GQ staff and art directed by Benjamin Bours, with lettering by Jared Fletcher. Enjoy!
Variant cover for Vertigo’s New Deadwardians #1, in stores now. Downton Abbey meets zombies and vampires! Check out the Vertigo blog, where editor Will Dennis provides a little more info and some very kind words.
I’ll be at the Charlotte Mini-Con this weekend, where you can pick up this giant 16x24 screenprint by me and Dustin Harbin for just $10. Sweet!

HEROES AREN'T HARD TO FIND: CHARLOTTE MINICON :: JANUARY 22, 2012 :: CLIFF CHIANG!!
Get ready people, the Charlotte MiniCon is back! Shelton started the MiniCon waaaaay back in 1977 ( I was 5 but who’s counting ). We’re still talking to all our friendly nearby creators to see who can make it to the show but I wanted to let you know about a very special out-of-town guest…
“Yo, Adrian!” On this day in 1976, Rocky premiered in New York City.
Auctions Ending!
I’m off to Italy, for the Lucca Comics and Games Festival, but there are 2 auctions ending this weekend.
The first is for the CBLDF, which I mentioned in this post. WONDER WOMAN, Original Art by CLIFF CHIANG - on eBay
The second is for Women of Wonder day, which I talked about here. You can inquire about bidding on the piece here.
Thanks for taking a look, and have a happy Halloween. Who’s dressing up as Wonder Woman?
This Wonder Woman piece will be auctioned by the San Antonio, TX chapter of Women Of Wonder Day on October 30, 2011, and proceeds will go to Domestic Violence programs. Previously called Wonder Woman Day, this annual event is now in its 6th year and has expanded to 3 cities. You can email your bids starting Saturday, and bidding rules are listed here.
NYCC 2011 starts tonight, and I’ll be at the VIP hour of The CBLDF Kickoff Party. Please come and support this important organization. As part of their membership drive and fundraising efforts, we’ll be auctioning the original art for this Wonder Woman piece later this month. Please note: this is one of only TWO Wonder Woman pieces of mine on the market at this time. (The other is for Women of Wonder Day, which I’ll show tomorrow.) I’ve been hearing some disturbing reports from other comics pros about difficulties with Canadian customs, but the CBLDF’s current case has huge ramifications for your right to privacy and free speech. From the CBLDF site:
This September, the CBLDF must contribute the first installment of the $150,000 in legal fees needed to defend Brandon X, an American citizen facing a minimum sentence of one year in Canadian prison and registration as a sex offender because Canada Customs alleges that Japanese horror and fantasy comics on Brandon’s laptop are child pornography. His case is important because it raises important precedent questions about the artistic merit of comics and the rights of readers and artists traveling with comics on their electronic devices. The CBLDF needs your help to pay the lawyers defending this case because we seek to establish a precedent that protects comics in Canada and influences courts in the United States.
Let me just underscore something here: they searched his laptop, they found digital comics and declared the material pornographic. I’m not comfortable with any of that, and if you agree, please consider joining the CBLDF.
