View this email in your browser FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Ska Band The Pietasters Guest Starring in SCAM #4 Finale from ComixTribe Mulvey Has No Plans to Stop Outside-the-Box Comic Promotions! September 18, 2013 -- Newburyport, MA -- Writer/artist Joe Mulvey is concluding his first ComixTribe miniseries with the SCAM #4 Finale (In Previews Now - SEP131049). The series is drawing to a close with the release of a double-sized issue, due out in November. Sending the series out with style and soul, the final installment will feature an on-panel cameos from one of Mulvey's favorite bands, The Pietasters. "A comic with a guy who gets stronger from drinking [Pint] is exactly the kinda character we can appreciate. If it doesn't kill you..." said The Pietasters lead singer, Stephen Jackson of the band's involvement with the superpowered conman series, SCAM. For Mulvey, including the band in this issue made perfect sense:



"The Pietasters' music has fueled some of the most debauchery-filled, insane and poignant moments in my life. So, why not one more? Since their music was the soundtrack playing while I made the book, it's only right they play a direct role in ending the first SCAM mini series," he said. Pre-Order SCAM #4 Now The SCAM double-sized finale issue is in September Previews (SEP131049), featuring two covers by Joe Mulvey shipped in equal allocation. DIAMOND CODE: SEP131049 Find out more about the band that plays the music in Mulvey's head. Visit The Pietasters' website, or check out the music video for their song "Out All Night." The band hails from the Washington D.C. area. Their sound combines ska, funk, and soul for a decidedly upbeat, raucous listening experience. They have been recording since 1993. Joe Mulvey is no stranger to outside-the-box promotion strategies.



While The Pietasters are the first band to make an appearance in the pages of SCAM, Mulvey hasn't been shy about including familiar faces in his work. SCAM #3 featured The Retailer Punch Out. A full double page spread showcased Pint brawling with real-life, friendly neighborhood comic-shop-proprietors. It should be no surprise that a series whose beginning was heralded by a 48-foot billboard on the Vegas Strip, ends with music and mayhem. Mulvey wouldn't have it any other way. Whether literally knocking out retailers on his pages, or figuratively with his commitment to spreading the gospel of comic books, Mulvey takes the art of comic promotion to an entirely new level.
