If you're an equal-parts fan of rock and cars, then 'Stainboy' Greg Reinel's new book, VICIOUS INTENT, is made for you. It was published earlier this month by Dark Horse Books, with a foreword by Frank Kozik and a special interview w. Greg conducted by yours truly.

-

Kozik makes this observation: "I recommend you mix a good drink, take off your shoulder holster, drop the needle on an LP of good Jazz Flute, and let your eyes melt."

-

I could not agree more.

As many of you already know from the reading ROCKIN', m'boy Stainboy is one of this country's top concert poster artists. And no one that I know meets the criteria of 'rocker' quite like Greg. And on top of all that, he illustrates muscle cars very, very well (he also owns a bad-ass Mustang himself).

-

You've also seen many of his newest posters in these blogs over the past two years.

-

These days it's not so easy to get retrospective books published. You have to be a good salesman along with being a top artist. Since Greg loves travelin', loves meeting his fans, loves selling his product, that's no problem at all. And I have to commend Dark Horse for doing him proud, 'cause the production color is true throughout.

-

Try it, you'll like it. Most comic book stores are stocking the book, along with B&N, Borders, and Amazon. But be sure to get yourself a first edition. Those won't be around very long.
