Syndication – ICECUBES the comic strip.

Funnies #9 from 1937!

Posted on May 17, 2023 by Leroy Brown

This “Funnies” comic book is from the early era of transition to comic books. Comic strips have existed since the late 1880s but comic books started in the 1930s. Of course they began by re-printing the comic strips from newspaper syndicated strips before any new characters and stories were developed. So, this issue #9 carries newspaper strips such as Alley Oop, Captain Easy, Mutt & Jeff. The art on this is so bad it makes my teeth hurt, but such was the birth of comic books!

Newspaper Stack!

Posted on April 24, 2014 by Leroy Brown

That’s what I like to see, a stack of newspapers featuring Dizzy Comics!
Dizzy Comics is our great new independent syndicate and guild of like-minded cartoonists. Dizzy Comics is all about getting printed in more papers and being seen on more websites. We’re small and we’re indie and we’re growing! 🙂

Year In Review!

Posted on January 6, 2014 by Leroy Brown

Well, here we are again at the beginning of a brand new year!

2014 holds some great surprises for ICECUBES fans and we’ll continue building on what we did in 2013!

A quick look back on the past year will reveal some pretty neat ICECUBES facts:

* ICECUBES is regularly syndicated in print in the Kingwood Monthly newspaper. I also created and edit a full monthly comics page featuring other guest artists including Mark Stokes of Zombie Boy, David Wilborn of Urban Jungle, Michael Hawkins with Jim Corn, Lonnie Easterling with Spudcomics and Kim Belding with PicPak.

* ICECUBES was featured at the awesome Comiculture Symposium at the University of Houston in Clear Lake. I participated in a live panel with James Barr creator of The Crow and ICECUBES comic art was displayed in the University art gallery.

* ICECUBES the book is in 5 comic book stores all across the country!

* The first ICECUBES comic book is almost completely sold out. (some artist editions left)

* I started work on a book of my earlier more ‘underground’ strips called Atomik Comix.
A zine preview was created for Houston Zine Fest and is still available for $1 + shipping.

* ICECUBES was submitted to some of the larger newspaper syndicates.

* More original art was sold at conventions and online.
There is more original art up for sale, click here!

* ICECUBES premiered 2 animated comics! Woohoo! More to come.

* Finally, a big surprise is coming in the next few weeks… so stay tuned!

Show your support for ICECUBES by purchasing one of the remaining numbered artist editions of the book.

Thanks for reading ICECUBES! 🙂
