More dates when we get them.

This video interview with Joel looks like one of the many interviews he
did at New York ComicCon, which was a couple of months ago. Fangoria has

A fellow named Andrew J. Koehler has produced a trailer for an animated
video he is working on. It s sort of a parody-fantasy thing. You will
recognize the melodious voice of Bill Corbett. Andrew says when the
movie is complete, he will post it. We ll let you know.
