Ruby Chance's world is wired differently. When a virus melted humanity, GrafTek fixed up bodies — but not always pretty. Join in the messy, dynamic story of RYSK at blackboxcomics.net

An artist in the audience at my panel at Washington State Summer Con did this sketch of all of us writers in (sedate) action: Steve Grant, Steve Englehart, Mike Friedrich and me. It's pretty great overall, but I'm especially taken with the accurate size-to-face ratio of my nose!

I somehow got a mic at the “Legends of Comics” panel at Washington State Summer Con, here with Steven Grant, Steve Englehart and Mike Friedrich. (Alongside these guys, my legend credentials may be more on the “moth man” side of things.) Great fun!

The reframing of public spaces with branded labeling is an insidious normalization of corporate dominance and a deadening of imagination. Fans embrace a Fenway. No one cheers for Mattress King Stadium. Or so I’ve experienced.

The "resurrection men" of old London sold cadavers to med students working their surgical skills. There was good money to be made — so long as you didn't run into "Mr. Mortsafe" — my "hero" in the Monster Aristocracy anthology. Cuddle up to him at a.co/d/0ix2thmJ

@dgchichester.bsky.social my friend was wondering if you've played Darkest Dungeon. It's kinda like a dark D&D campaign but it's a videogame if you haven't heard of it. Hope you're having a great day Dan!

Had an amazing time at Way Library with Gathering Volumes! As much as I love talking about folklore, I think I love the audience Q&A more. It's so much fun to hear what people are curious about. The skeleton was from the restaurant we went to for dinner but I had to include it in the montage.

Paul Ryan was a very underrated artist. A fine draftsman, great storyteller, with an amazing work ethic. Check out his runs on FF, The Avengers, Superman, The Flash, and the Phantom daily. Most importantly? A nice guy. One of the first creators I ever interacted with and very generous with his time.
