NEW SIMON BISLEY ORIGINAL ART ( EVER FOR SALE OR TRADE ).. .. always interested in buying & trading ORIGINAL COMIC ART

 For the art, the group tapped a British artist that Azzarello had been dying to work with since they hung out at a tavern in Poland about five years ago — Simon Bisley.

Bisley, who's known for his work on "ABC Warriors," "Judge Dredd" and "Lobo," will also paint a mural at the brewery for Dark Lord Day, said Azzarello.

"When we were first considering [making the comic], if you would've asked me who the perfect artist for this is, I would've said him. ... It's totally in his wheelhouse," he said. "Originally, he was only supposed to do the first issue, but he was having such a good time. So he was like 'let's keep going.'"

At comic conventions, it's now commonplace to have a panel discussing comic books and beer "where the connection is made" and "how they kind of feed off each other," said Floyd, who grew up a big fan of comics especially independent ones.

Though he sees the comic as "a thing of it's own," Floyd believes the comic will help grow the brand.

"It can go out to market anywhere our beer can't. Three Floyds is only available [near] Indiana — it's a regional beer. The comic can go anywhere," he said. "It's still a very separate thing, but we want to be the best of the best. Have the best beer, the best art and the best comics."
