Silent Devil Productions has announced several staff changes in the company.
Silent Devil has announced The Last Sin of Mark Grimm #1 has completely sold out, prompting the company to send the issue back to the printers. The variant cover is a black and white rendition of the original cover by Tommy Castillo.
“Don’t call it a comeback,” says publisher Christian Beranek. “M. Sean McManus (creator/writer of The Last Sin of Mark Grimm) hustled his tail off to get the word out about the book and it paid off. We’re ecstatic to be able to offer a 2nd printing for fans of this awesome crime tale.”
In addition to the new cover, The Last Sin of Mark Grimm #1 will also feature pin-ups from independent artists.
“I am thrilled to death,” says M. Sean McManus. “We had so many great pin-ups come in from so many talented artists, it was overwhelming. We all know how hard it is to get noticed as an independent in the big book. By taking Mark Grimm to conventions all around the country, comic fans of every variety took notice and really responded to what we’ve created. Some have even bought multiple copies as gifts for friends and families. That sort of approval is hard to come by, and I think it makes all of us involved feel fantastic.”

Fleecs won acclaim when In My Lifetime debuted from Silent Devil this past June. Warren Ellis, creator of PLANETARY, TRANSMETROPOLITAN & THE AUTHORITY called it: “Brave, brilliantly observed comedy, and the first autobio comic in years that hasn’t made me want to punch the author in the stomach.” Ain’t It Cool News stated: “In My Lifetime was not just a pleasant surprise, but it’s also one of the more enjoyable experiences I’ve had in my comic book reading so far this year.”
“Some artists take years to find their voice,” says Silent Devil publisher Christian Beranek, “when In My Lifetime came across my desk I read a piece of art that had already arrived. Expect great things from Tony Fleecs for years to come.”
In My Lifetime: Illustrations by Tony Fleecs will be on display in the Washington Pavilion Visual Arts Center’s Gallery F from October 13, 2006 through January 14, 2007.

Silent Devil will announce Little Foot Publishing, its new line of creator-owned graphic novels at SPX in Bethesda, Maryland this weekend. The debut title, Mr. Big, is a 152-page digest sized graphic novel by cartoonists Carol and Matt Dembicki.
When a couple of adolescent fish go missing, the pond denizens blame Mr. Big—a giant snapping turtle that rules the pond—for their disappearance. The disgruntled animals decide it’s time to overthrow him, hoping to end the fear that permeates the pond. Despite warnings from a sage crayfish that disrupting the balance of the pond may lead to something even more fearsome replacing Mr. Big, the animals engage the help of some crows to kill the giant. But the crafty murder has its own motive for eliminating the snapper. “No one said Mother Nature was fair,” explains Matt Dembicki.
“Little Foot is a way for Silent Devil to showcase an amazing range of graphic novels done by some of the best cartoonists working today,” says Publisher Christian Beranek. “Mr. Big is our first book and we’re very excited about it. We plan on producing 2 – 4 novels a year under this line.”
SPX runs October 13 – 14 at the Marriott Bethesda North Hotel & Conference Center http://www.spxpo.com. Carol and Matt Dembicki will be on hand with preview material for Mr. Big. Please visit www.waspcomics.com and www.littlefootcomics.com for more details.
