Who is Dean Haspiel?
Writer? Sure.
Artist? You bet.
Native New Yorker? Yep!
Emmy Award Winner? Ringo Award Winner? Playwright? You better believe it.
Does he live, sweat and bleed comics? Now we’re talking!
Since 1987, Haspiel has worked for virtually every major comics publisher including Marvel, DC, Archie, Image Comics, Top Shelf Productions, Fantagraphics, and Webtoon, etc., and recently completed his first Kickstarter, successfully finding his book, Covid Cop.
Now Dean is back with his second Kickstarter, which runs through August 11th!
Where Covid Cop is a hardboiled love story hiding inside a pandemic-spawned dystopian horror, Billy Dogma is a psychedelic romance gone galactic between a dumb-luck bruiser and his knock-em-dead dame.
Billy Dogma has enjoyed a sordid publishing history; starting out in a Lower East Side NYC newspaper, to having his own series and one-shots, to being part of a couple of two-man anthologies, a webcomic series and collections. Recently, Billy Dogma was a regular feature in the Image Comics 30th Anniversary anthology celebration.
In “I Will Break You But I Won’t Kill You Because I Need You,” the insanity of Billy Dogma and Jane Legit’s love affair comes to a crossroads when Billy realizes they must find a better way to love or Trip City will burn under the fever of their romantic touch. And with psycho-sexual vignettes like “Bring Me The Heart of Billy Dogma,” “Sunflower Kisses,” “The Last Romantic Antihero,” “Wet Dreams,” and “Sex Planet,” plus a brand new story, this oversized comic book offers 48 pages of erotic comix noir.
