About this journal

I have two creative projects I will be discussing in this journal.

The first is The Crimebusters, a new comic series I am writing and drawing. Picking up where Boy Comics left off, The Crimebusters #120 is set in the fall of 1956, with Chuck Chandler — aka Crimebuster — returning to Curtiss Tech for his junior year of college. As always, though, intrigue and mystery abound, as Chuck is reluctantly forced to team up with girl reporter Trixie Trouble to investigate the shocking death of a beloved professor. This is my first comic book, so it's a real learning process trying to make it; I will be detailing that process here. I hope to have the issue complete by the end of March, with the goal of heading to Kickstarter in April for a May publication date. We'll see how it goes though!

The second project I have is the Classic Comics Forum Podcast, where I discuss classic comic book runs. I'm aiming for an episode a month at this point, and will provide updates whenever new episodes become available. 

Thanks for reading!

Swords and Sorcery action in a Brutal Realm!

Hey everyone! My new comic Quest #3 is now live on Kickstarter. I just can't stop making comics! If you like bronze Age style swords and sorcery, that's exactly what I'm trying to do here. I'm really excited for this issue, as it's the story I've had in my head since I began working on Quest. I'm really stoked to be able to share it with everyone!

Quest #2 is coming right down to the wire! 😬

We're inside the final 29 hours on the campaign for my new fantasy comic Quest #2, and it's coming right down to the wire. I thought we had funded a couple hours ago, but no sooner did we cross the goal than someone canceled a pledge and we dropped back below the line. That means at the moment we're still $15 short of being funded. There's still plenty of time -- but also plenty of time for more people to cancel, so who knows! If you love epic fantasy and classic swords & sorc

Paladins vs. Zombies: fear the WALKING DEAD!

My new comic Quest #2 is currently live on Kickstarter, and since this issue features my main character Vhess the paladin battling the undead, it only made sense to me to do a Walking Dead homage cover. You know how much I love my homage covers! This is an homage to Tony Moore's cover for The Walking Dead #19, the first appearance of Michonne. I'm only printing 30 copies, and it's only available as an add-on, so if you dig it get it before it's gone!

Quest #2 is now live on Kickstarter!

Hello, friends! I'm excited to announce that my new epic fantasy comic Quest #1-2 is now live on Kickstarter! This is my ode to Bronze Age style swords and sorcery, and comics like Warlord and Conan, so if you like that sort of thing I think you'll like Quest! You can check it out here. I've also finished the other variant covers, and wanted specifically to mention the Tabletop RPG Edition. The cover is an homage to the classic D&D module "Keep on the Borderlands" by Jim Rosl

My new comic is now LIVE on Kickstarter! 😮

Hello, comic book friends! I'm so excited today to announce that my new comic book Quest #1 is now LIVE on Kickstarter!   I've been a huge fantasy fan for my whole life. Playing Dungeons & Dragons and reading their Endless Quest series of books as a child opened my imagination to new worlds of wonder. I would sit on the floor with my modules and play out whole campaigns by myself, creating stories of heroes and monsters, triumph and tragedy, before rolling the dice an
