Ok, I need a personal favor from you all.
When you have a moment, please call your local comic book shop, and ask them if they carry QUANTUM: Rock of Ages, and if they got issue #2. If you live in an area with more than one store, please call all the stores in your town.

It's a proven fact that name recognition takes at least 5 repetitions to truly take hold. This is how buzz is created. If people are calling repeatedly on a particular title, retailers are more than likely to look twice come ordering time.

Thanks guys, every bit helps.

Dreamchilde Press Releases QUANTUM: ROCK OF AGES #2
New York Independent Comic Book Publisher Continues Cross-Time Epic


Philip Clark and his team at Dreamchilde Press continue their mind-bending tale of alternate realities with the release of QUANTUM: ROCK OF AGES #2. This bimonthly independent comic has already garnered much critical praise, and the new installment promises to maintain the high standard of excellence in storytelling and originality set by its debut. While navigating the mysterious waters of the time/space continuum, QUANTUM also pokes fun at pop culture in various alternate universes.

Described as High Fidelity meets Sliders, QUANTUM follows the adventures of Nick Vargas, a jaded musician turned record-store owner. Due to a Nazi experiment gone awry in an alternate reality, Nick is unwittingly taken on the ultimate cross-time thrill ride. His goal is to reassemble the Quantum Silica—an ancient and powerful artifact that has been split into seven fragments—in order to repair time and space before they fade from existence. Each unique character in QUANTUM discovers a fragment of the bizarre gemstone embedded into their bodies. These fragments of the “Quantum” sphere offer a unique power to each of them, and need to be reassembled before Nick can return to his record store reality. The longer it takes Nick and his counterparts to do this, the more alternate realities start to blink into oblivion, one universe at a time.

This issue also heralds the addition of two new creative forces on the art team. New York artist James Rodriguez provides the wraparound cover and a sneak preview of his upcoming run as series artist. Also joining the Dreamchilde bullpen is Robert Ashcraft, who takes over as series colorist with his eye-catching grayscales. QUANTUM #2 marks the departure of artist and co-creator Ozzy Longoria.

QUANTUM: ROCK OF AGES #2, published by Dreamchilde Press, hits comic book specialty shops this Wednesday. QUANTUM: ROCK OF AGES #3 is available for ordering in the February issue of Diamond Comics Distributors “Previews” catalog (32-page black and white comic book w/ hand-painted wrap-around cover by James Rodriguez, $2.99)

Hey gang,

Here's a special treat. I've posted pages in the photos section of the Yahoo Group of "The Death of Philip Clark," which I will sneak into issue #3. And no, I don't have a death wish, I just figured if I was going to die on paper, it might as well be literally (forgive the pun). Anyway, hope you all enjoy.

As a special treat, if you play issue #3 backwards, it says, "I buried Paul."

Good news,
Spoke to my rep at Brenner today. Issue #2 went out to Diamond yesterday, so it should be out on the shelves next Wednesday.

So begins QUANTUM's regular bi-monthly print run. I can say with extreme confidence to expect it on the 4th Wednesday of every other month.

More later,

Almost forgot,
I wanted to give a shout out to Mark, Jen, and Hasaan at the Comic Book Novice Radio Show on AM1240 WGBB. James and I had a great time last night and we hope to do it again very soon. Their show is webcast on Thursday Nights at 9PM EST at

http://www.am1240wgbb.com.

Make sure you check it out.

Peace and chicken grease,

Hey all,
Just a quick note to let you know that I've posted two pieces of
Fan Art in the Photos section of the Yahoo group. Check out killer
pin-ups by Kevin Anthony and Spencer Lewis! It's great to see so
much talent out there, thanks to both of these fine artists for their
support.

Also, I have to apologize. James and I were on a radio show
last night, and I only sent notices out to people in the NYC/Long
Island area. I found out right as I was getting on the train to go to
the radio station that the show was actually webcast. So, when I
get the tape of the show, I will be posting it on the group for your
enjoyment. I'm sure James and I will end up going back at some
point, and I will make sure I let everyone know next time.

Anyway, that's it for now.

We'll have copies of issue #1 to sign, a mock-up of issue #2, and preview pages of issue #3, as well as other assorted goodies like posters and original art. Come on by and say hi.

Just to let you all know,

Diamond elected to show the entire cover of issue #3 in this
month's PREVIEWS catalog. Hopefully this is heralding some good
fortune for the book.

Make sure you let your local comic book store know that issue
#3 is now available to order. I'd like to show our distributor that
interest is picking up.

Also, many props to James Rodriguez and Jackie Teixeira for
their awesome work. I just send James' art for the cover of issue #4
to Jackie to color, and I must say, it's just as awesome as ish #3.
I'll post a preview of it later this week.

Take care,
Philip
