Cast Iron Comics announces the debut of the Von Fange Brothers book, sold online as of today. The cover is by John Byrne and it features a pecan pie recipe by none other than Kurt Busiek! No, I don’t know how Fanzing’s favorite back cover artist Bill Wiist (creators of the VFB) managed to get…

Smart bit of promotion for Hellboy!
Best Buy will distribute a Hellboy Promo DVD at the checkout counter, which will include 10 minutes of footage from the film. This is total genius. A great many people who’d like to see more than the trailer could be convinced to see it, and all for the cost of 500,000 DVD discs. And by…
