ABOUT
CARABOSSE COMICS
Carabosse
Comics, LLC was created in 2004 by illustrator and writer William
"Lynx Delirium" Tyler and his partner David Paul Brown
as a self-publishing outlet for Lynx's personal projects. In August
of that year, the debut book from the company, The
Goth Queen Needs a Mate, was released. The one-shot was well
received by readers and critics alike and was listed as one of the
Best Independent Buzz Books of the year by Wizard Edge Magazine.
The
next project to begin from Carabosse Comics was Fairies
Tell in 2005, a retelling of classic children's stories, nursery
rhymes and fairytales told from the point of view of the actual
fairies who witnessed the events. Several of these stories were
released in anthologies, with the stories of Little Miss Muffet
and Old Mother Hubbard told in the first Fairies Tell comic.
Around
this time, Lynx also began his art project Lynx's Pinup Boys, with
illustrations focusing on the male form. Art prints from the series
were produced through Carabosse Comics and new images in the series
are still periodically released.
In
2006, The webcomic Che began posting
on the Carabosse Comics website and garnered Lynx a spot on a list
compiled by Prism Comics and Instinct Magazine as one of the hottest
comic creators and projects to watch that summer. However, the webcomic
was cut short in preparation for the upcoming print series starring
the same characters starting in 2008. Some of the stories from the
original Che webcomic have been reprinted in anthologies and ashcans.
Several
other webcomics by Lynx have run on the Carabosse Comics site as
well, including The Adventures of Lynx Girl and Friends, and Furries
on Parade, a collaboration with writer Matthew Cavazos. Characters
from the Lynx Girl webcomic are set to appear as supporting cast
members in the upcoming Che series.
During
a panel of Up and Coming LGBT Comic Creators at the 2007 Comic-Con
International in San Diego, Lynx announced that Carabosse Comics
had acquired the rights to the gay comic anthology Queerbait,
previously published by Heroscribe Comics, and would be publishing
future issues of the series. With Queerbait, a new imprint, Carabosse
Comics Presents, was created to spotlight work from creators other
than Lynx Delirium. 2007 also saw the release of Lynx's first convention
sketchbook, I'm So Vain.
The
end of 2008 will be a busy time of year for Carabosse Comics with
the beginning of the Carabosse Comics Universe starting in the debut
of the new Che series, leading up to 2009's 5 year anniversary for
both Carabosse Comics and its signature character The Goth Queen
who will be making a fantastic return...
