Purchase Mini-Prints and Halloween Cards!

Now you can purchase cards and "mini-prints" (aka postcards - but nice ones!) at my store on "Store Envy".  http://richardsalastore.storenvy.com/

Right now I've got two different card sets for sale. One is a set of my Halloween cards from several years ago. (Yes I still have a couple dozen sets left, but no envelopes - sorry!). The second set is brand new ~ 3 "mini-prints" (aka postcards), professionally printed on glossy 5" x 7" cardstock. I only have twenty of each - and I can sign them if you want.  (NOTE: Only ten sets left)

Happy Halloween!

RICHARD SALA IS ON INSTAGRAM (So that must be on its way out, too)

As the old-timey BLOG goes the way of the horse and buggy (whatever that was) and the "landline" (whatever that was) - and as the readers of old-timey BLOGs die off or are carted away to the old folks home, we realize it is a good idea to "keep up with the times" ~ so, even though this BLOG will keep posting away, we can now also be found on INSTAGRAM. Thank you, beloved readers!

New Interview With The Comics Journal

I did an interview with The Comics Journal last week and it's been posted today. Learn much more about me and my views on stuff than you ever wanted to know! 

Seriously,Tim Hodler is a great interviewer and re-reading it, I can see that I'm at a point in my life where I'm less about trying to "sell myself" (never my strength anyway) and maybe more introspective about it all. 

Anyway -- read it if you want to know how I once made a little kid cry. (It's got a great "click-bait" title, too!)

THE BLOODY CARDINAL ~ Webcomic Serial ~ First 18 Pages

Here are the first 18 pages of my new serial webcomic THE BLOODY CARDINAL ~ a tale of madness, mystery and mayhem. I'm posting this update here on my blog because The Comics Reporter has linked to it. I will be updating the story here ~ but please note that the official site, where you will be able to read the story as a webcomic one page at a time, is here: http://thebloodycardinalbyrichardsala.tumblr.com/
Simply click on the button for "first" and you can read the strip from the beginning.
Thanks for reading!

New web-comic THE BLOODY CARDINAL debuts!

DEBUT: My new on-going web-comic serial THE BLOODY CARDINAL begins today.
I will be posting the updates here and on my regular Tumblr. I’ll post two to four pages at a time, once or twice a week. 
But you can also read the first 14 pages from the beginning right now on the THE BLOODY CARDINAL site in web-comic format:
http://thebloodycardinalbyrichardsala.tumblr.com/page/18

The first 14 pages includes the entire PART ONE - which is the depiction of excerpts from a diary, plus the first two pages of PART TWO,  where story begins in earnest in comic strip format. The web-comic format is one page at a time, with clicking forward or back. While here you can scroll through them as usual.

The story is about a missing (and possibly dead) super criminal who has left his mad ramblings in a diary, which also contains secrets which are highly sought after by certain dangerous and nasty types. I  promise it will all “make sense” eventually (more or less) - unless I’m hit by a bus before I can finish it. In that case, feel free to make up your own ending! And thanks to all my loyal readers who made it this far and a special thanks to those who have bought my books!

(Please note: due to someone having already trademarked my original title “The Cardinal” for their superhero character, this story (about a master criminal who may or may not be dead) is now called THE BLOODY CARDINAL. You may have to update your bookmarks and I may need to do some additional tweaking to some pages already posted. Thanks to all my loyal readers for your patience!)
