Thanks to everyone who picked up the first issue of Reed Gunther this past week! Chris and I really appreciate your support! Thanks for posting pictures, writing kinds words, and spreading the news!
We won’t have a letters column until issue #6 as the earliest because we’re using all of our available page space to JAM PACK each issue with 32 pages of Reed Gunther adventure! If we did have a letters page, we would have to print all the kind words folks have been emailing into us like this:
“Thanks for making a comic that I can give my little girl that isn’t based on a toy, TV show, movie or cartoon. I appreciate it more than you can possibly imagine.” – Scott P.
“Dear Houghtons, I really just gotta give Reed Gunther real high marks!! Seriously; there’s not much to complain about! I’m pretty keen on westerns, too–everything from Jonah Hex to LHOTP–so this is right up my alley. It was the art that sold me, though; with a cover and preview art like that, I knew it would be as good as it seemed.” – Andrew S.
If you’d like to share a picture, fan art, or write to us, shoot us an email at mail(at)reedgunther.com.
Thanks everyone! You guys ROCK!

Also, you have to check out this fantastic bowling interview we did for Spare Time With Dom on TheOuthousers.com
“Shane and Chris Houghton, of Image Comic’s Reed Gunther, strap on their two-toned bowling shoes, talk Reed Gunther origins and enjoy some ‘Spare Time With Dom.’
‘Spare Time With Dom’ pits comic book creators against the extremely talented bowler, Dom, to talk comics, life and whatever else strikes-up in conversation”
We had a blast hanging out with Dom and chatting about all things Reed Gunther and bowling. Sadly, he did beat us at bowling…
Hope everyone is excited for tomorrow!

Hey Folks!
You may remember the Reed Gunther WANTED Poster Contest where we asked you the fans to hang a WANTED ad for Reed is your local shop for a chance to win a page of original art from Reed Gunther #1! We received some really awesome photos from some very enthusiastic fans and we appreciate everyone’s entry and help on spreading the word about Reed! (in stores this Wednesday, June 1st!)
Chris and I were going to randomly pull the winner’s name out of a hat, but we couldn’t find any hats around so we came up with something way more awesome. I threw slips of paper with everyone’s names into the air and Chris had to snatch the winner out of mid-air!
Chris’ agile little drawin’ fingers came through and snagged this winner!
You did it CHARLES PEREZ!
Charles shops at the super awesome Heroes and Villains in comic shop in Tucson, AZ. Congratulations Charles and we hope you enjoy your newest piece of original comic book artwork!
We’d like to send out a super huge thanks to all the folks who submitted to our contest! We hope everyone enjoys the monthly color issues of Reed Gunther from Image Comics!
Adios amigos!
