Several artists from Pixar are joining forces to create comic book titles as E-Ville Press (short for Emeryville, where Pixar headquarters are located). Their work debuts at Comic Con in San Diego, July 13-17. Several titles will have corresponding blogs. Most of the artwork was digitally generated.

Titles include:

"Colossus" by Mark Andrews – A knight's soul is trapped in a war machine's metal body, and faces a kingdom's evil paladin.

"Rose and Isabel" by Ted Mathot – A story of two sisters who join the American Civil War to save their three brothers.

"Afterworks" – an anthology of short stories by Simon Dunsdon, Robert Kondo, Nate Stanton, Max Brace, Kevin O'Brien, Sanjay Patel, Louis Gonzales and Jay Shuster. Story previews here.

Several other Pixar artists will be attending Comic Con, with their own booths. They include Ronnie Del Carmen with "Paper Biscuit 2.5 – Froggy's Lament"; Enrico Casarosa with "SketchCrawling"; and Jamie Baker with "Rocket Rabbit"

(Thanks, The Moth!)

Reader Comment — SRP sez:

In the post about the Pixar artists' webcomics, you mentioned Enrico Casarosa's Sketchcrawl, but not his totally-awesome yakuza-poetry-thingie webcomic Haiku 5-7-5. He hasn't updated for a few months, but maaaybe he'll be more likely to start again if you link to it.
