Jerry Robinson (Jan 1, 1922-Dec 11, 2007) co-created the Joker and Robin, taught Steve Ditko how to draw, forced DC to make a deal with Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster and looked like Roy Scheider. What a dude.

Going in… I am very thankful to Humble Bundle for making the EC Artist’s Library available digitally. This is the only volume I do not own in hardback, but jumped at the chance to get it, along with copies of everything else as e-books.

This is your occasional reminder that if you've been waiting for permission to make the comic you've always wanted to make, you have it. In writing, even --

A permission slip granting you, yes you, the right to go and make a comic. Signed by me, a comic book person.

I'm on the lookout for an available interior comic artist for a middle-grade project. Looking for someone who can draw: kid-friendly, eerie/spooky (Twilight Zone, Gravity Falls, etc.) but fun, human characters, anthropomorphic animals. Please respond w/ samples + folio link. No emails/DMs.

Today marks 105 yrs since one of the darkest chapters of American history: the Tulsa Race Massacre, when 100s of African Americans were killed by YT Supremacist in the thriving Greenwood community in Tulsa known as Black Wall Street. More than a century later it PAINS me to see not much has changed.

Just a reminder that the Evan Fade short story, "Maps & Legends", is free to download for the next few days! More adult than THE OCTOBER GIRL, but the same universe, and the same Evan Fade from slightly before he meets Autumn.

Print files for a super secret October Girl-related thing are turned in and ready for the Maverick graphics team to do their magic. Not sure when it will be announced, but it's another career first for me as a solo creator and I'm incredibly excited about it.

Honestly, I've never really been in this position before. Being able to say, "Hey, I know this is crazy, but can we...", and having a publisher say, "Sure." I've been making comics long enough to know that it won't last forever, but man... I could get used to this.
