Made a zine- my first in decades! 24 pages of my most obsessive fan art. I’ll have a few copies at my table at Rose City Comic Con @rosecitycc.bsky.social table B-06 in artist alley. #rccc #pdxcomics

The front cover of the zine, featuring J D Williams as Preston “Bodie” Broadus

The back cover of the zine, featuring a rough-lined pen and ink drawing of James Ransone as Chester Karol “Ziggy” Sobotka, wearing a two-thousand dollar coat.

You show me 6-8 pages of comics storytelling. I'll give you feedback based on my 30 years in comics. What works, what doesn't, how to tweak a panel for clarity or impact, tips for saving labor- the sort of advice your teacher at a comics class might offer.
