Returning to the Old West and More

 

How totally cool is this?

No sooner did my prose story Ghost Dance wind up in the Writers Unite anthology Dimension of the Wild West (Vol. 2) than a second Western tale of mine (this time an illustrated story) show up in InDELLible Comics publication, Crackerjack Comics #3

The story American Eagle: Wülf in the Fold was illustrated by the ever-grumpy John Orlando, and the always-terrific, Tom Ahearn. Both of these guys are amazingly creative (In fact, not only is John an incredible artist, but he and his lovely wife comprise the musical duo The Flushing Queens).

Tom, on the other hand, has previously illustrated more than just a couple of my stories for comics published by the Ever-jaunty Jim Main’s Main Enterprises (a portfolio of my work for him can be found here). The folder contains not only publications where stories and articles I’ve written for him, but numerous publications where I produced the interior design, layout, and prepress for him. Check it out (go ahead, I’ll wait).

Needless to say, that’s not all I’ve been doing these days. I have also been producing a number of books for the prolifically-talented Paul Kupperberg. These books include (but are not limited to) Direct CommentsJSA: RagnarokEmma’s Landing, and others (if you’re looking for a graph production artist, feel free to contact me). 


Oh, and if you want to see some of the art that John and Tom did for my 2nd Western, check it out. (I did the duotone coloring, and the lettering). 


That's all for now, kids, more coolness when it happens.
