Uh, oh… So, Adam left for New York today, and Vero will return to Argentina tomorrow. We spent the weekend signing over 2500 books for the Kickstarter, and then we had a couple days to just hang out together, for the very first time. I brought them to my favorite restaurants, we talked about co...

This time I'm sharing the pin-up inks from The Annihilator's Origin Card, again by artist Gabriel Mayorga. The Origin card pin-ups show early uses of a character's powers.
Before The Annihilator became the notorious super-villain we've all grown to love, he got his start as a young man working enfo...

With all the excitement about hitting the Milestone Goal and posting the Spooky story and having Adam and Vero in town for signing 2500 books, I totally forgot to post the comic update and its penciled page here on Patreon. Sorry! Hope you enjoy this! :)

Where is she going with this? Since the last page, y’all blasted past the Milestone Goal of $3750/month for the Patreon, and so all Patrons can now read the “How Spooky Got His Cap” story on the Patreon page. So far reactions to that story have been “This is so much more than awesome that...

From the August 12th issue of The New Amsterdamer, “Talk About Town” section:

Spooky Jones strode into the bustling cafe bundled up with his reversed baseball cap, hoodie and Burberry trench, as oblivious to the 85 degree SoCal city heat as he seemed to be to the sudden appearance of mo...

I thought you might like to see Gabriel's Mayorga's pencil work, before he inks. This image is hot off the press -- it's the pencils for Red Hot's Origin Card, which shows one of the very first uses of his powers. After quelling a number of forest fires, Kyle made an early name for himself in the h...

So, based on your feedback from the survey, I've added a new Milestone Goal to this Patreon.
If we hit $3750, all Patrons will get sent a short prose (non-comic) story about how fan-favorite character Spooky Jones got his special cap and why he wears it everywhere.
Have you ever wondered about th...

It's no secret that I love a complicated villain and The Platinum Priestess is no exception. She's lived for 6000 years and it's been a very full life. What you're seeing here is artist Gabriel Mayorga's inked page for The Platinum Priestess's Origin Card, which shows one of the first use of her pow...

This image of Spooky was actually the first image that came to my mind when I thought of creating the Romance Card Art as calendar pin-up type pics: Spooky in his boxers, pulling the classic rabbit from a hat.
