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!

My new comic The Crimebusters #6 ends on Kickstarter tomorrow! Guest starring...

The Kickstarter for my new comic The Crimebusters #6 ends tomorrow, and I spent the week working on the back cover. This issue has a guest appearance by Joe and Frank Hardy.

But I wanted to capture the feel, so I did an homage to the cover of their first book, which was drawn by Walter S. Rogers. That art

My new comic is here!

My new comic, The Crimebusters #6, is now live on Kickstarter! This one has been a lot of fun to work on. I love using public domain characters, so besides Crimebuster himself, this time around we've got Uncle Sam, Richard Upton Pickman from the stories of H.P. Lovecraft, and even The Hardy Boys, who slipped into the public domain last year a bit under the radar!  I've also got some really swell variant covers, including a cool 5th Anniversary Cover. Yes, it's been 5 years now since Th

The Crimebusters #6 is coming soon!

It's been a long time coming, but I'm excited to finally announce that The Crimebusters #6 is coming soon! I'm tentatively planning a January Kickstarter launch, assuming the art is finished on schedule. You can click here to check out the pre-launch page and hit the "Notify me on launch" button to make sure you don't miss it.  This issue leans more into the Lovecraft side of things, as Trixie and Chuck investigate some spooky unsolved murders involving haunted paintings.  This is
