Some comics you have to dig through to see if they’re good. No need with Comic Book Comics: Our Artists At War! The cover features a wild image of a giant flaming comic book smashing a military blimp and crushing tanks as desperate gunners look up and at the reader. (more…)
My “bachelor days” (or is that “bachelor daze”?) installments continue.
This particular strip was drawn entirely using Photoshop.

PC Weenies and UNcubed are on target to make their print debut in the next few months. I’m working on a 120 page trade paperback for PC Weenies, and a 24 page PC Weenies / UNcubed sampler comic.
The sampler comic will serve as a perfect introduction to someone who’s new to both strips. The trade paperback version of PCW will include additional goodies and behind-the-scenes stuff.
The sampler and trade paperback will both be available for sale on August 22 & 23rd at the MiniMegaCon convention in Orlando, FL. I’m still working out pricing details for the trade, but the floppy comic will run $5.00 + shipping (US and International). Update: The floppy comics and PCW Trade paperback will be available for sale on my website as well. Pre-orders will open in mid-June for signed copies for both editions.
The format of the book will include both covers in a flip-book format. You simply flip the comic over when you’re finished reading PCW to read UNcubed.
Anyway, I wanted to give you guys a peek at the covers for the floppy comic version (I updated the PCW cover based on feedback I received. The original design is here.)
I come home from an exhausting day at work to a mystery package, sent over by none other than the Mighty Javier Hernandez, cartoonist, podcaster, and all around incredible guy!
Before opening the package, I was immediately greeted by a very cool Javier sketch on the envelope. Perhaps a prediction of things to come? We’ll see…
Anyway, inside the package were two super sweet comic books. MAN SWAMP and MANGA MUERTO. MANGA MUERTO is super thick – and MAN SWAMP harkens back to the days of comics magazines from the 70’s. Both look amazing, and I can’t wait to read ‘em both tonight.
Two good reads and a relaxing night. Thanks, Javier!

A few weeks ago, Brock Heasley approached me to draw a 3 page SuperFogeys: Origins story. The story was originally intended for David Reddick to illustrate, but Dave had to bow out due to a very busy schedule.
I was nervous and excited about the opportunity. Nervous because it had been a very long time since I attempted a page-based comic layout. Excited because, deep down, I’d been jonesing to draw some action sequence based comics.
Brock was a total pleasure to work with. He sent me a very tight script, but left it up to me to pick camera angles. I broke the script down into thumbnails and sent him the roughs to get feedback. The whole process was exciting and fun – especially because I could just draw and not have to worry about writing for a change.
Below are the roughs for page 1. You can click on ‘em to see the larger version.
As page 2 and page 3 get published on SuperFogeys, I’ll post the roughs for those pages online.
Enjoy!
