“Harvey Pekar 10-8-39 – 7-12-10"
Posted by: Randy
Maybe now isn't the best time to write about the
passing of comic book legend Harvey Pekar.
I just read the news moments ago and the pit that
was sent plummeting towards the base of my
stomach hasn't reached bottom yet.
I grew up on your typical Marvel Comics fare. Kirby,
Romita, Ditko, etc., those guys taught me to love
comics but it was Harvey, years and years later,
that taught me what a comic really could be and by
doing so shaped my life.
Harvey Pekar changed the comic book medium
immeasurably and in the process shaped the lives
and work of countless artists working today not
to mention every comic artist that has yet to put
pencil to paper.

“Visions of the Empire”
Posted by: Randy
I’m excited to announce that I’ll be taking part in one of the coolest ideas for an art show that a Star Wars geek like myself can imagine. The Visions of the Empire Show celebrates the 30th Anniversary of the greatest movie ever made The Empire Strikes Back.
Featuring over 25 artists in various fields, the show celebrates artists
who have been inspired by the classic film. The show also serves as Red
Rocket Tattoos after party for the New
York City Tattoo Convention.
So if you’re in the NYC area on May 14th from 8pm-1am stop on by
Point Break Bar at 12 west 45th Street between 6th & 7th Ave.
More info to come and maybe a sneak peak at the piece I’ll be showing.
Stay tuned and thanks for reading.

"This isn’t just a comic strip, this is art and an amazing new direction of the comics medium."
An autobiographical comic following Randy Gentile’s daily life traversing the strange world called New York City.
Marvel Comics editor, writer and talent scout C.B. Cebulski says about the strip: “NYComix tells it like it is. Randy lives his life with his eyes open and pencil ready, so we can all enjoy these honest, slice-of-life stories about his experiences in the Big City. No matter where you’re from, these honest anecdotes capture emotion, fear and humor we’ve all experienced as we move through life.”
Strip updates every Monday, Wednesday & Friday.
Check out the archive here.
“Who knew that one of comics’ best letterers was also a kick-ass cartoonist? This book perfectly captures one of the greatest adventures a young American can live though,moving from a small town to the capital of the whole damn world. BUY IT!”
Brian
K. Vaughan
Eisner winning writer of Y: The Last Man, Ex Machina and ABC’s LOST.
Dime Show Comics is a daily strip debuting soon here at LazyComix… stay tuned.
Coming Soon...The first original graphic novel from the critically acclaimed writer & artist of NYComix.
Who is... Randy Gentile?
After bouncing around at a few local colleges in upstate New York, Randy Gentile made the decision to move to New York City where he attended Pratt Institute. He landed an internship in the famous Marvel Bullpen and was able to turn that into a full-time gig in the now defunct Marvel in-house lettering department. He later transitioned to Chris Eliopoulos’ Virtual Calligraphy lettering studio.
With VC he lettered damn near every Marvel book at one time or another including Amazing Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, Uncanny X-Men, Punisher, and Daredevil.
After 7 years Randy decided to make a go of it on his own without the aid of “Obi-Wan” Eliopoulos. Since then he’s begun lettering for DC Comics where his work can be seen in funny books like Batman, Detective Comics, Gotham Underground, Teen Titans and Booster Gold.
Outside of his lettering work he self-publishes an autobiographical comic called NYComix, which has been featured numerous times on the popular comic book podcasts Fanboy Radio and Comic Geek Speak. In 2010 he launched NYComix Dailies a 3-Panels-a-Day sketchbook journal strip that updates 3-Times-a-Week. In late 2010 he’ll debut the much anticipated webcomic Dime Show Comics. He has also begun work on his first full-length graphic novel titled 4 Color Love Story
Randy has also directed a number of mini-documentaries. His latest, “Behind The Curtain: The Making of Scarlett Takes Manhattan,” screened at New York City’s Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art in 2009.
When he’s not wallowing in lettering self-pity he spends his time in Brooklyn along with his lovely artist wife, Ereisa (find her amazing work here) and their three cats Finnian, Don Fanucci and Olive.
