BONEYARD PRESS LAUNCHES 2ND WEBSITE!
April 9, 2003


This one's by the fuckin' fans, about the fuckin' fans,
and for the fuckin' fans!

Ever wanted to talk to your favorite Boneyard Press creator like Dan " Don't Hurt Me" Plegel or Steph "Gut Muncher" Dumais but were just too fuckin' lazy to write'em a goddamn letter? Well now all you have to do
is log onto http://groups.msn.com/BONEYARDPRESS
and find out what your favorite creator is bitchin' about now or how bad they've blown their latest deadline! That's right, we're talking about a place for the fans to post their own renditions of Bill the Bull, Dark Angel or Babylon Crush. This new site has it all- Message Boards, online portfolio's of
unpublished art and Boneyard Classics, hard to find articles about Boneyard Press, a calendar of upcoming Boneyard Events like what conventions yer anti-hero of choice will be appearing at, all that fanboy geek shit we love to know!
Every week Boneyard Press publisher, Hart D. Fisher, will post and update all the group members on the latest behind the scenes stuff he hasn't already griped about in his online journal! There's even a fuckin' chat room but damned if I know how to get in there and use it.



And you have nobody to thank but Big Jim Helkowski who set the whole damn thing up! Man whatta jerk! Twice the Boneyard abuse?
AAAAArrrrghgghgh! Don't forget to look for us in the latest (May 2003) issue of Wizard hitting stands now. Comics were just so damn boring without us, even Wizard is glad we're back!

Boneyard Press Adds Two New Books To It's Summer Lineup!
April 1, 2003

YOU WANT SOME?
New Horror Anthology by Ryan Mojica, The Book of Legion and straight out of the Micro Wrestling League comes Midget Apocalypse!

As if putting out 2 ongoing series Zombie Commandoes From Hell and Psycho Hunter, touring the conventions all summer long, putting out Ginger Hill Attacks and reviving the erotic horror anthology Flowers on the Razorwire, wasn't enough the main mad man at Boneyard Press is taking on two new books! That's right, the month of August 2003 will witness the unleashing of The Book of Legion and Midget Apocalypse!
OOO! Did that hurt? Yeah, you know it did!

So, what the fuck're these books about?

MIDGET APOCALYPSE is a whole new ball game coming straight out of the baddest bunch of ankle biters in the midwest, The Micro Wrestling League. Who the fuck is that? The MWF is a professional wrestling
league made up entirely of little people (all performers are under 5' tall). The MWF have been featured on A&E, Jerry Springer, Jenny Jones, Maury Povich, MTV's Road Rules, WWF Raw is War, WWF Smackdown. Members of the MWF have even co-hosted WWF Heat with Al Snow, and performed
with several WWF superstars. So who better to put out their book than the scum bags at Boneyard? On board for the writing chores will be Hart D. Fisher, From Parts Unknown Magazine's the mysterious lady Wrestler
known only as Lady Ariania The Spider Queen, and Ace Crafty! Art chores will be handled by a cast of Boneyard faves like Dan Plegel, Frank Forte, and more to be announced! First issue will be 48 brawlin' pages of booze, tits, broken bottles and one big guest star- Bill the fuckin' Bull!!!!! That's right motherfucker, I said Bill the fuckin' Bull vs an arena full of midgets like Meatball and Pondo! For more info on the midgets check out their website at:
http://www.microwrestling.com/

MICRO WRESTLING KICKS ASS!

And if that wasn't enough, THE BOOK OF LEGION is a mind blowing series of tales about an insane priest guarding the most coveted book of demonology in the world, the Book of Legion. Written by Electric
Hellfire Club lead singer Thomas Thorn with art supplied by long time fan Ryan Mojica! Ryan has done some pin ups in the past and suffered many a drunken evening with Mr. Fisher, so he's earned his fucking stripes. Ryan has been putting his guts into this project, his first solo outing, and said "Im tellin' you man, these stories kick some
serious ass! Kinda like old Twilight Zones/ Tales from the Crypt,
  Basically just to scare the shit outa people and make them..."think".

Sounds good to us. For more info on the Electric Hellfire Club go to:
www.electrichell.com
But if you don't know who those long time rockers are, you gotta pull your fucking head outta yer ass and check out some of their stuff.

Ryan will be in with us for the Debut of his book at the Chicago Wizard World convention in August along with the midgets. Also look for hell to freeze over because Zombie Commandoes From Hell was mentioned in the latest issue of Wizard to hit the presses in a short article about the return of Boneyard Press!

Flowers on the Razorwire Returns!
March 25, 2003



Boneyard Press’s Longest Running Horror Anthology Back From the Dead!
Are all you hungry little piggies ready for an opportunity to make your mark? Troy Zurel has emerged from the back woods of Wyoming and his years as a Rave promoter to revive the Boneyard Press title, Flowers on the Razorwire. A hardcore erotic horror anthology, Flowers had a long run through the nineties before going on Hiatus. That time is over. As the new master of ceremonies Mr. Zuriel has tossed down the gauntlet to all of you artists looking to break into a tough market with a brand spanking new cover contest!
Here’s the deal. Butt whipping artist Dimitri Patelis, the man who did the first three covers for the original run of Flowers on the Razorwire, is doing the rebirth issue. It’s up to you, the contestant, to follow his lead and kick it up another notch with issues 2 and 3. This is a hard act to follow, so you gotta make it a bloody fight.

The Rules:
The cover needs to have something to do with the title- Flowers on the Razorwire, and no, it doesn’t have to be literal, use yer brain, think outside the box but remember this is a goth/erotic horror book, not yer mothers Creepy or Eerie. No bad girl pin ups, drooling vampires or guys in tights and steroids. You’ve got to come up with a striking image that incorporates the books title and the company’s logo somewhere in the image. Use any art technique you want, just make this thing draw dropping.
What do you win?
Duh, your stuff is the cover of a serious heart attack of a book. You get 15% of the poster/merchandise money using your image, plus a cut of that issue of Flowers on the Razorwire profit. BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE! The winner will have a slot reserved for him to sign at WizardCon Dallas Texas in November and get to be the Most Dangerous Man in Comics whipping boy and suffer all kinds of abuse at the hands of a drunken Hart D. Fisher and his leather clad bitches! Can you dig it? HA! I knew you could. The only hitch is you gotta get yer ass to the show! You get on the cover and Fisher will pimp your monkey ass to all the industry connections he’s got, the kind that broke illustration pretty boy John Cassaday, John Lucas, Dimitri Patelis, Albert Holaso, Big Bill Harms, Duncan Rouleau, Matt Roach, Frank Forte and many more! Plus you get an armload of books to sell on your own time! Hell we’ll even through in a free pair of clean underwear!
Please submit web address for viewing, DO NOT SEND BY E-MAIL.
Troy doesn’t want yer damn email! Troy wants you to post your art at the new Boneyard Press fan site:

http://groups.msn.com/BONEYARDPRESS

DEADLINE for this contest will be May 27th, 2003, the bonedaddy’s birthday!
He’ll be 34 years old and angry as hell. You wanna see the Boneyard Press logo or some of the old Flowers on the Razorwire covers, log onto Boneyardpress.com and make it quick. But if you have to send a gol’durn email, you can hit the bonedaddy at bonedaddy@boneyardpress.net and keep that stuff small.
The top ten runners up (not so bad losers) will have their goods posted at the Boneyard Press website with constructive criticism of what they did wrong so they get better and can come back atcha swingin’ harder.
I know Troy posted this contest as a solo forum thing, but I wanted to give the whole comics world a shot at this. I know there’s a bunch guys living in trailer parks out there dying to kick into the comics world, so this your chance!
Good luck you little bastards!

13 YEARS OF PAIN! Boneyard Press' 13 year anniversary!
March 8, 2003

That's right, the misfits at the most infamous publishing house in comics are kicking it out rock hard for their 13 year anniversary with a year long tour, special contests, special books and more venom than a legion of Texas Rattlers!
Did you say Tour? Yep, Boneyard's kickin' it real, with stops at the three Wizard Cons in Phillie, Chicago and Dallas. Founding father, Hart D. Fisher will be dragging his bitches, Ginger Hill and Mistress Leyla to abuse fans all over the country! At each convention Fisher will be doing special give-aways and will be auctioning off a "One Way Ticket To HEEELLLLL!" to the highest bidder! What's a "One Way Ticket To Hell?" That's a single evening out with his bitches for a night of drinkin', dancin', and a little leather dungeon slap & tickle! That's right, a night out with his bitches, no wimps, no gimps and you better make sure you count yer cash by the end of the night! Plus there will be new Boneyard creator Ju Gomez in tow to sign his Psycho Hunter books and we'll drag out that old blind bastard of Chanting Monks for a stop or two, Joe Monks! He may be blind, but he's still got his teeth, don't get to close to the cage folks!
Fisher and Monks are cooking up some serious Mayhem for Halloween and they'll be doing some signing together at a couple of shows to promote their project Sex Crimes and the rebirth of Agony In Black! Boneyard's in negotiations for the release of it's first motion picture The Garbage Man and it's first inter-universe Crossover book, Ginger Hill Attacks! This book's got all the Boneyard stalwarts, Dark Angel, Bill the Bull, Babylon Crush, Dead Grrrl and many more freaks! Each tour date will be video taped for the blockbuster sequel Boneyard Bitches Gone Wild Part Deux! We'll even have special signed copies of the Boneyard gut munching opus Zombie Commandoes From Hell, which has some serious heat in Hollyweird as studios are fighting amongst themselves to sign series creator Steph Dumais for some licensing lucre!
But WAIT! THERE's MORE!!! Boneyard is releasing Boneyard Bitches Gone Wild on DVD with a half hour of cool extra's like Hart Fisher getting Choked into unconsciousness by martial arts legend "Judo" Gene LeBelle, the short film Sex And Metropolis City, Fisher's appearance on E on OJ and more! Man, it just keeps getting better!
Boneyard's had a long run of it, standing tall long after our nay sayers are wilting in the breeze and buried under our feet! Screaming since 1991 baby! Keep your ears peeled because there's more news coming your way.....

More updates!

Stacy Lynn Gomez
July 9, 1967-November 7, 2002

December 3 , 2002



"I woke up to a phone call on one morning last week, one of those answering machine messages that stop you on your way to the john mid ball scratch. It was a voice that was one step away from crashing into itself, trembling and barely believing what he was saying. The voice was Ju Gomez and he had just lost his wife, Stacey. She was 35 years old. She's got three kids. She had Ju. She died in her sleep next to Ju in the middle of the night. No right or wrong. She just fucking died and it's torn the heart out of the voice on my answering machine. The pain smacks up into my veins and puts me right in the thick of things. I dial Ju up on the phone and talk to him for awhile. I can hear his kids playing in the background. He's rattled real good. We talk some more and then he's gotta go. The cops are still there and he's gotta sign some paperwork. Before he hangs up Ju tells me to make sure my wife knows I love her. I told him I make sure of that every waking minute of every fucking day. I been down this road before. Plenty of dead in my yard.
I stood there by the phone for a long minute.Thinking. Just the night before I was all full of myself for steering my Impala through the middle of a 50 mph 3 car wreck in the rain on the 110. Two cars were left steaming blocking two lanes. My car was without a scratch. The usual close brush with mayhem for me. Ju used to marvel at it. Poor fucking guy. Drop him a word or two of support at Ju@psychohunter.com because he could use it now more than ever. When the fans talk to you, it means something.”
Hart D. Fisher/Publisher/Boneyard Press

Psycho Hunter #3 is Dedicated In Loving Memory To: Stacy Lynn Gomez
July 9, 1967-November 7, 2002
She is survived by her husband Ju Gomez and her three children, Brittney, Kade and Piper.

“Lost” Opening Reception Report:
Fuck Those Egyptian Catholic Wusses!

November 25 , 2002




16 pieces of work hung from the wall like so many lost martyrs in a sea of media swine. Pulled from the headlines and smacked in the ass for a shrill new life cry Hart D. Fisher’s one man art show, Lost, was a resounding success. Art was sold like Thai boys in the bordello. Wine was guzzled, small talk was slung stinking to high heaven and souls were shook with nary a protestor in sight. Goth kids, punk people, the Kroma crew, rock stars from Tuscaurora, Jet68 and all manner of regular Joes gathered at Wax Poetic from 8 to midnight October 25th to take in Hart Fisher’s latest stab in the eye dominated by a 3 foot by 4 foot piece called Daddy Has a Secret. A portrait of a model citizen by the hand of a child, particially burned and nailed with the remnants of it’s frame to a plywood backdrop filled with cut advertisements featuring little girls in all manner of dress. A fairly disturbing piece in a collection of cheap shots all subtly twisting the blade in deeper. Andy Warhol style portraits of little girls and their murdering fathers hung next to oil paintings straight out of hell adorned with used needles and live ammunition sparked plenty of gasps and deep conversation beyond the usual Halloween banter.

“I expected the digital art pieces to be the show favorites but by far the oil paintings captured peoples attentions, particularly the piece “Let me Out”. No fights happened and except for the mp3 player going on the fritz (after I sent my wife home because I forgot the cd of music for the show) the show went over very well and I went home around 3 in the morning wasted and stumbling.” Said Fisher “But seriously, I was really worried about what the reaction was going to be. I haven’t had a show in nine years and I haven’t picked up a paint brush in at least six. People I expected to show up, didn’t, and people I didn’t expect to see did. It was all a very pleasant evening for me. The reactions to my work were all very gratifying. I’m looking forward to my next show, probably in a year or two. Something to clean my jets after finishing my next film, PIG.”

“Lost” and all it’s works will continue to hang at 3208 W. Magnolia at Wax Poetic in Burbank until November 22nd. All works are for sale and Mr. Fisher is available for commissions. To commission an original work please email us at: bonedaddy@boneyardpress.com

Coptic Club to Picket Lost Opening Night Reception!
October 23, 2002


Controversial artist, Hart D. Fisher's first art show in nine years, "Lost", has it's opening reception Friday October 25th, from 8pm to midnight at Wax Poetic, 3208 W. Magnolia Blvd, Burbank.
Open to the Public.

After wrangling with artist Hart D. Fisher over the content of his new art installation, "Lost", members of the Intervarsity Christian Youth Movement have enlisted the aid of the Coptic Club, a group of Orthodox Egyptian Catholics, to picket and protest Fisher's opening night reception. "We feel that missing and murdered children are not the proper subject matter for any art show, let alone as fodder for a man with such a poor track record as Mr. Fisher" Said Adam Villacian, the original offended party in the ICYM. "I came across a flier for his show at school and checked out Mr. Fisher's website and was immediately offended and it only got worse as I journeyed deeper into his site.
In like of what's going on in this country we feel that this is the absolute worst kind of exploitation.We won't stand for it."
When asked for comment Mr. Fisher had this to say- "I don't know what's gotten into these guys. They haven't seen any of the work, and haven't let me show them any. It's the blind leading the blind. I've been researching the material for over a year, and it's all informative, eye opening work. None of it is exploitive or in poor taste. Come and see for yourself. If a bunch of bible banging morons want to come on down and wave some signs at my show, let'em. It wouldn't be the first time."
After a nine-year hiatus from public shows, Mr. Fisher has put together a collection of oil paintings, digital art collages, and found art pieces that deal with missing children and the commodification of victims by the mass media. "Lost" will be hanging from it's opening night Friday October 25th until Wednesday, November 20th at Wax Poetic.
Wax Poetic is a salon in Burbank known for supporting unsung artists and their work, doing art shows since their opening 3 years ago. Wax
