FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Chrome and Dust, the latest comic from Chicago-based artist Ed Siemienkowicz, begins its run on the web starting September 16. Every week a new page will appear to tell the story of two lovers who are separated for years in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, and their friend who may be the key to their reunion.
A long time ago James Knox was a by-the-book cop who got results with unorthodox methods. As keeping the peace gets tougher, he needed his improvisational skills to deal with the new breed of criminals. Eve Crenshaw was his girlfriend. A third grade teacher, she did her best to stay aloof of the increasing problems in the world – until they came knocking on her door. Max Magillacuddy was a man with military training, quick wit, and a mysterious past. He and Knox became partners, and their formidable skills brought them through confrontations with, killers, looters, and every psycho who could drive a car or ride a cycle.
From the bright, self-centered 80s to Knox and Eve’s violent, desperate future, Chrome and Dust is the story of humanity tested in the face of it’s doom, of the strength of love during dark times, and of the colorful characters that inhabit it’s drab, harsh world. It’s rom-com meets Road Warrior as the pedal hits the floor, and Chrome and Dust hits the comic world with fuel-injected fury. New pages every week, and 28-page comic available for ordering, or digital download at chromeanddust.com
It’s a busy week in the offices of 9mm Studio, as Small Press Expo is this weekend! After a absence due to financial and geographical challenges, I am really excited to be back at my favorite con.
This show has me extra excited, because i’ll be selling and debuting my new graphic novel Chrome and Dust. I won’t have a table, so I’ll be a roaming nomad. I’ll be selling these as I stroll for $6. Just ask!
To help you get your hands on it, I’ve created a flyer that will be on the free shit table:

So now you can’t miss me, or the chance to get a copy of my new book. Random Play is going strong right now, of course, and I’m having a sort of “soft launch” of Chrome and Dust. The book will be available at the show, and soon you’ll be able to get it online in physical or digital versions. I’ll let you know when all that goes down.
New friends and old, I hope to see you at the show!
