Cheers to Dark Fire Press: 5 Year Anniversary!

Dark Fire Press: Five Year Anniversary, 2018-2023

Gentleman Cthulhu publisher, Dark Fire Press, turns 5 this year! That’s 5 years of creator-owned publishing not only of the work of J. M. DeSantis, but that of others such as Jorge Media, Luiz M. Cruz, and Anibal Arroyo. More publications are coming from them this year. (And who knows? perhaps finally something new from Gentleman Cthulhu!). So check out their site: darkfirepress.com & join their mailing list for updates in your e-mail (their socials are linked on their site).

To another five and more years! Cheers!

Happy Halloween!

J. M. DeSantis YouTube Interview 20 May 2020

J. M. DeSantis YouTube Interview

Tonight (20 May) J. M. DeSantis will be interviewed by JD Calderon at 9 pm EST on Calderon’s YouTube Channel, LIVE! (Though the video will remain up afterward, in case you missed it.)

With lock-downs still in place all over the world, and the fact that J. M. hasn’t been putting out too many updates on current projects, this interview is certain to be full of news and updates on projects past, present, and future, including Chadhiyana, Gentleman Cthulhu, and his latest in-progress novel.

Dark Fire Press, ComiXology, and the Mummy Collection

And They Call it Mummy Love coverThanks to the establishment of Dark Fire Press (darkfirepress.com), Gentleman Cthulhu comics are now available on ComiXology.com. As of today, they’ve also added the long-awaited And They Call it Mummy Love collection to the site! You can find all three current collections listed here: comixology.com/Gentleman-Cthulhu-Emeritus-Moribus-Monstrum/comics-series/128431. Also, an IndyPlanet print version of the Mummy collection should be available soon.

While I know the present web-comic is very far behind, creating Dark Fire Press is allowing me to expand my reach with certain projects such as Gentleman Cthulhu. I’m planning to start posting new and back comics again soon, as I have all the intention in the world of continuing the web-comic for the foreseeable future. I just needed a break from both this and Chadhiyana (my other comic) to explore some new projects.  Read more… ›

Happy New Year 2019!

Gentleman Cthulhu news

Gentleman CthulhuEven though the latest comic posted over a week ago, it’s worth wishing everyone a Happy New Year again, especially because there’s some Gentleman Cthulhu and other Lovecraftian news today on Gentleman Cthulhu creator J. M. DeSantis’s website today. Namely, 2019 is going to be largely a Lovecraft-themed year, including Gentleman Cthulhu and even some new site art (such as the images seen on this site right now; and there’s more yet to be shown).

So check jmdesantis.com today and throughout 2019 for continued Lovecraftian project news and releases.

Cheers!

Happy Holidays: I’m Still Alive!

Happy Holidays, Gentleman Cthulhu fans!

(That is, of course, if any of you are still checking this site.)

And They Call it Mummy Love: A Gentleman Cthulhu Collection coverI’m sorry for the long absence, and if you’ve been checking my blog on jmdesantis.com or happen to be a member of my Patreon (and you’d be very informed in the latter case), you’ll know I had my reasons for taking a break.

That said, I plan to catch up entirely on this years’ comics (that is, Year 4; comic #157 through today’s #175), hopefully before the New Year. After that, I’m going to turn my attention to completing the Year 3 set (#105 – 156), and put out that collection (which will be appropriately renamed Gentleman Cthulhu: The Comics out of Time rather than Third Cheers a Charm).  Read more… ›

It’s Been a While…

Since starting my blog back at the end of 2012 (on jmdesantis.com. following the publication of the first Chadhiyana comic), I don’t think I’ve ever let so much time pass between posts. The reasons for that are many, but rather than dwell on the past, I’d like to get everyone up to speed on the new, the old, and the behind-but-catching-up (and to do so in as few words as possible).  Read more… ›

No Such Con & The Final Days…

J. M. DeSantis Blog: No Such Con & The Final Days...

First, thank you to the students at Vassar College for their hard work at the No Such Con this past weekend and for inviting me back. I had a great time catching up with some people I met last year–both exhibitors and attendees–and speaking on the panels about Cultural Competency and Self-Publishing respectively (and a special thanks to Danielle Draik and Emily Ree for inviting me to the latter). There were a few surprises during the weekend too, but before I get into that, I want to point out to my readers that the final days are approaching to get your name included in the And They Call it Mummy Love collection as a supporter (deadline: 28 February 2018).  Read more… ›

Happy Valentine’s Day…Now Show Us Some Love!

Happy Valentine’s Day, Gentleman Cthulhu fans!

This year, I’ve got something special planned in honour of the day of love, and to commemorate the popular and longest running series in this two-and-a-half-year-running web-comic: the And They Call it Mummy Love series.  Read more… ›
