Holy cripes! The Legend of Oz: Wicked West #6 drops 3/13!
It’s the best book about about a magical, pumpkin-themed cowboy you’ll read in March! Guaranteed.
Emerald City Comicon is this weekend!
Come hang out with Team BOOM! Studios!
Listen: I’m not gonna say that we’re the most talented, best looking crew in all of comics—but I’m also not gonna say that we’re NOT…
I have a comic book and a graphic novel in this month’s Previews catalog (which hits shelves today)! Look for my name on pages 232 & 271!
FUBAR: AMERICAN HISTORY Z is a historical fiction anthology…with zombies. Ander Sarabia (BLACKEST TERROR) illustrated my contribution. It’s “Certified Cool” by Diamond (whatever that means).
LEGEND OF OZ: WICKED WEST #7 is a fantasy/western/steampunk comic starring Jack Pumpkinhead (who inspired the character “Jack, The Pumpkin King” in Nightmare Before Christmas).
Dig on this Blackest Terror pin-up Pharoah Bolding!
“Eric Esquivel’s The Blackest Terror.
The Blackest Terror is easily one of my favorite concepts of the last five years. Take the classic public domain character The Black Terror and add some urban flair, street sense, and a need to fight bigots and racists and you get one of the more fun vigilantes I’ve seen in comics in recent memory!
My boy Samax Amen (check his work out at [http://samax.deviantart.com/ ) is the artist for the next issue of The Blackest Terror (and from what I’ve seen he’s gonna absolutely kill it!) but I have to admit that I SO wanna draw this character in action!
So this is my audition piece! Eric, if you ever have a Blackest Terror back-up story or pin-up you need drawn drop me a line and I will make time!

“Based out of Tucson, Arizona, Eric M. Esquivel is quickly rising up the ranks as one of the better young writers in comics. He has done creator owned books at Moonstone Books with his takes on The Blackest Terror and Thor: Unkillable Thunder Christ. He has also moved on to be a mainstay at Big Dog Ink writing many of their books and recently has tackled Freelancers for BOOM! Studios.” – ACME – Arizona Comic Mini Expo 2013 http://acmecon.wordpress.com/guests/
