Oklahoma’s Brian Winkeler promoting Popgun at Comic-Con
Brian Winkeler at Comic-Con International: San Diego Preview Night 2009
SAN DIEGO — I caught up with the snazzily dressed Brian Winkeler at the Image Comics booth at Comic-Con’s preview night. The Oklahoma native had Con-exclusive bookmarks promoting his comic series Bastard Road, which he creates with former Oklahoman Dave Curd.
Winkeler said two Bastard Road shorts are ready to go in the fourth volume of the “Popgun” anthology, which has housed the first two “Bastard Road” stories. Eric Sanhop draws the second tale, which focuses on Bastard’s sidekick, Farel. Curd returns for the 16-page story focusing on the title character. Winkeler also said that there’s a chance for a “Bastard Road” standalone in the future.
Can’t get enough of Winkeler’s sense of humor? He and artist Robert Wilson are working on an adventure-comedy that could see the light of day as soon as next year.

I thought it was great! Even better, or worse, for you, depending on your perspective, was that it was on the front page of the A&E web page of NewsOK for most of a day.

I definitely appreciate it, Matt. And I’ve gotten a lot of props from my friends who saw it (I first found out about it from a message on Facebook from my old roommate). I’m looking forward to touching base with you post-’con to trade stories. I’m feeling some really good momentum with “Bastard Road” and my project with Robert.
I should’ve known Matt would be posting this picture. I now horribly regret the face I made.
