For this book, Michael Sheyahshe has interviewed a host of individuals in the comic book and video game industry: Tim Truman (creator/writer/artist for Scout), Alvin Schwartz (writer for Tomahawk from the 1940s), Terry LaBan (creator/writer/artist for Muktuk Wolfsbreath), Steve Englehart (creator/writer/artist for Coyote), John Ostrander (writer for Blaze of Glory), Rachel Pollack (creator/writer for Vertigo's Tomahawk), Jon Proudstar (creator/writer for Tribal Force), Mike Grell (creator/writer/artist for Shaman’s Tears), Bradford. W. Wright (author of "Comic Book Nation"), and Jacquelyn Kilpatrick, Ph.D. (author of "Celluloid Indians").
FYI, Sheyahshe purchased PEACE PARTY #1-2 a couple years ago and says he discusses them in the book also. But he didn't interview me about them or about Indians in comics. <sniff>

Writerfella here --
writerfella met Steve Englehart long, long ago, in a galaxy far, far away. Do we even remember each other? But then again, Rob, whether they acknowledge you or not, you still exerted influence, lest the topic have been foregone entirely. As an item on your resume`, writerfella thinks it applies...

Objectively, you'd think that Rob and "Peace Party" would get more headline/interview treatment in such a book.
Just go and google:
native american comic book
and look at what the first few entries are about.
Alas, I've still published only two issues. That doesn't stack up well against the longer runs of SCOUT, COYOTE, or even SHAMAN'S TEARS. No matter how much I've written my website, I need to put out more comics.
I'm glad to see PEACE PARTY comes up first when you do the Google search. I don't think that used to be the case. I believe this blog is boosting my page rankings...which is another reason to keep doing it.
