OH MY FRAKKING GODS!!! How did I miss this easter egg in Aaron’s new first full length graphic novel 10 YEARS TO DEATH? In my defence I was reading the comic proof on my phone and was only checking for typos before it went to print. I don’t have a physical copy yet. But still, no excuse. Well spotted by Chuck Satterlee from Defective Comix Studios via twitter.

If you’re in Vancouver and looking for a copy pop into 8th Dimension on Main and 8th. They have a few left. 😉

Aaron Douglas Fans (@aarondouglasfans) September 29, 2021
This makes me so happy thinking of the excitement @theaarondouglas must have felt finding his comic in a store. I told him he should have asked the staff for a sharpie and signed them 😃
#10YearsToDeath

Aaron Douglas (@theaarondouglas)
I promise to carry a sharpie from now on. I’ll go stealth mode and be the secret signer until I’m arrested for graffiti and damaging private property. Ha.

Aaron Douglas Fans (@aarondouglasfans)
“excuse me sir, you can’t vandalise the comics. I’m going to have to call the police. Oh holy frak, it’s the Chief” 🤣

Aaron’s first full length graphic novel 10 YEARS TO DEATH is being released tomorrow (September 29). If you’re interested in a digital version of the comic, you can purchase it from comiXology. As for where you can purcahse a physical copy, I’m not quite sure. We’ve asked for some guidance and were told “your local comic book store”. But I don’t know, that seems kinda ridiculous to me. Every comic book store in the whole world is going to have Aaron’s comic? I don’t think so. So if anyone knows of a reliable website where someone can purchase physical comics, please post a link to Aaron’s comic in the comments of the Facebook FanPage. Thank you.

UPDATE: If you can’t find Aaron’s comic at your local comic book store you can ask them to order it in for you. There will also be a link to purchase it online from the AfterShock Comics website. I will post that link once Aaron has been advised it has gone live.

10 YEARS TO DEATH, Aaron’s first full length comic for AfterShock Comics will be released on September 29, 2021.

 

WHAT’S THE BOOK ABOUT AND WHY ARE YOU EXCITED FOR IT TO COME OUT?

“This is a story born out of an experience I had as a young boy with one of my uncles and my dad. I snuck to a spot in the house to listen to my uncle relate his tale to my dad. It confused and terrified me at the time and to this day I still have a very creepy feeling inside when I tell it to people. I think it is a fascinating story and whenever I tell it people are enthralled and I want to share it with a wider audience. I hope this can achieve that.”

AARON DOUGLAS ON SOME OF THE INSPIRATIONS BEHIND CREATING THE BOOK:

“As with all of my writing for AfterShock the inspirations come from CCO and Publisher Joe Pruett who demands more stories every time we are able to find each other for an evening out for dinner. I have a laundry list of stories and I piece meal them out to him hoping that he’ll fall in love with another one and want me to make it a book. He hasn’t failed me yet.”

AARON DOUGLAS ON HIS APPROACH TO WRITING COMICS AND HOW IT DIFFERS FROM/OR IS SIMILAR TO THAT OF HIS APPROACH TO ACTING:

“For me story telling is story telling, it just takes different shapes and has different forms. Whether I am writing for TV or a Film or for a comic book the story is king, or queen. Writing is different from acting in that when I am acting I am collaborating with the person, or persons, who wrote the piece and we are sharing the creation of the character. I feel more in control when I am writing but when you are writing by yourself you don’t get the other perspective from the writer. I often find that invaluable, to be able to speak to the writer and ask questions about their vision which helps inform my understanding of the character and influences performance.”

AARON DOUGLAS ON (3) REASONS WHY COMIC READERS SHOULD PICK UP THIS BOOK?

“1. It’s a true story and it is creepy as hell.

2. Cliff Richards is an amazing artist and he draws what is in my mind and it freaks me out sometimes. HA

3. If you present the book to me at a con we’ll have a beer and we can talk more about the story. Free beer from Chief!”

AARON DOUGLAS ON THE FIRST COMIC HE EVER READ:

“I grew up in a fundamentalist Christian home so comics were verboten for myself and my brother. I think the first comic I read would have been at my cousins house. His dad collected Archie comics so when I was about 12 years old I found the stash of comics with my cousin and I read them for hours. After Battlestar Galactica came about and I started going to conventions I would wander the Artist Alley and stop at the different comic companies and marvel at all the amazing work done by these incredibly creative people. Quite often the people would recognize me from the show and load me up with books. I would go home with dozens and dozens of books which I would read and then leave around set where they would be poured over by the cast and crew. We made a lot of fans over those years. It was a wonderful thing.”

A prestige format ‘One-Shock’ featuring top creative talent, 10 YEARS TO DEATH is a horrific, unnerving tale conceived and written by Aaron Douglas (‘Chief’ from the iconic TV series Battlestar Galactica), and drawn by Cliff Richards (SHOCK, Buffy the Vampire Slayer). Also offered is a signed edition limited to 1000 copies at $19.99 per copy. Each copy will be signed by Battlestar Galactica’s ‘Chief,’ Aaron Douglas. The signed edition will ship at the same time as the main edition.
