Happy birthday, Steve Rude!
Steve Rude turns 51 on New Year’s Eve! We recently received some announcements from Steve about “Nexus” 100, and Rude Dude’s 2008 Free Comic Book Day plans:
All in Sundra Completed 
Phoenix, Arizona – December 30, 2007 - Rude Dude Productions announced today that Steve Rude’s first ever painted story, All in Sundra, is finally completed.
All in Sundra is only 11 pages in length, but took the artist nearly 8 months to complete and has caused the delay of the long awaited Nexus 100.
Rude Dude Productions expects to have copies ready for Steve’s appearance at the Phoenix Comic Con at the end of January where attendees will be receiving FREE copies of the 2007 Free Comic Book Day Nexus. Retail copies are expected to ship from Diamond at the end of January.

FCBD Moth Announced Steve Rude announced that THE MOTH will be making a return appearance for Free Comic Book Day, May 3, 2008. Steve will be appearing at Comic Legends and Heroes in Goodyear, Arizona. The FCBD Moth will be solicited in February 2008 Previews and will be the launching point for a new 4 issue Moth mini series. Like the Nexus FCBD issue, it is designed to bring new Moth readers up to date and ready to jump into the new issues. The Moth TPB previously released by Dark Horse will be remastered and released by Rude Dude Productions for early July 2008. The new Moth series launch date will not be determined until the series is actually completed. |
