Brand new stuff by Ron Ruelle 

Ron has been quite busy over the last few months... here's proof!

120 HOURS
A Collection of 24 Hour Comics Challenge Stories

They say nothing good happens after midnight. Participants in the Denver 24 Hour Comics Challenge might disagree. We have to disagree. We need good things to happen. Rules for the event are simple: You show up at the designated time and place with your art supplies. You are given a topic. You then have 24 hours to create a complete, coherent, 24 page comic story.

This book contains five stories by Ron Ruelle, each one lovingly crafted (or hurriedly scribbled) within those parameters. In this volume you will find tales of zombie space aliens, possessed bobble head dolls, hostile stuffed animals, evil twins, eight-year-old forensic detectives, and other things that only come to mind at ridiculous hours of the night.

This book features one story that has never been published, and four stories that appear in the 24HCC compilations below.

Comic Strip Compilations by Ron Ruelle 

Ron has had a long, albeit sporadic, career as a daily cartoonist. These are collections of some of his best daily work from college and professional days.

NON-HUMAN RESOURCES
At the Zü Daily Comic Strips Volume 2

Beasts of burden come in all stripes and colors. There's the disgruntled underling, the scheming old timer, the obsolete dinosaur, and the vacuous slacker, to name a few. You'll find all of them here at ZüCorp, along with the saddest one of all... the underpaid, overworked, unappreciated zookeeper/supervisor. This is the second collection of the syndicated comic strip "At The Zü" which ran in papers worldwide from 1995-1998 (and online for a few years after that).

HEY DARWIN!
At the Zü Daily Comic Strips Volume 1

What can we learn about the human condition from a vegetarian lion, a haiku-writing monkey, a conniving zebra and a feminist ostrich? You'll find out when you visit ZüCorp, where the animals are running the asylum. This is the first collection of the syndicated comic strip "At The Zü" which ran in papers worldwide from 1995-1998. Whether you've been to this zoo before, or this is your first visit, remember... don't feed the animals. Especially the zebra.

24 Hour Comics Challenge Anthologies featuring Ron Ruelle

Judge These Books By Their Covers (Cover art by Ron Ruelle)

Here are some books with cover art by Ron Ruelle. Since Ron would never lend his name to anything less than awesome, and no one would ever dare use Ron's magnificent art on a mediocre book, you can be assured that these volumes are excellent reading.


Life to the Right of Hollywood
by Joseph Lindsey

An insider's tale about Hollywood politics -rich and darkly humorous—of how being a conservative in Hollywood can be a career killer. Clinton Feast leans to the right of most his peers, and as he stands on the cliff of an extended youth about to be pushed into his thirtieth year he's accomplished no more than the ability to breathe in and out. With a spare bicycle tire beginning to form just under his navel, he's a down-and-out and out-of-work actor. Fired by his talent manager to focus on a client who plays a singing alley cat on Broadway, and dumped by his PETA friendly girlfriend for a more inspiring relationship with a dog, he's a flaccid thespian convinced his greatest review will come in the form of a New York Times obituary.
