The Amazing, Invincible, Super Comic Book Project!

This past June, I started teaching a comic book class at the Ollie Webb Center in Omaha, Nebraska. Over the summer, my three students wrote and illustrated their own comic book stories. We collected the stories in this book, which is only the first volume. I’m very proud and excited to share their work with the rest of the world. All of this was made possible by my friends Jim Hoggatt, Dena Launderville, Laurie Ackermann, and everyone at Ollie Webb and Art of Imagination. Another big thanks to Tom Kealy at Barnhart Press for helping us print these beautiful books.

Feint Peace

 

Here’s a cover for a book that my friend Christopher McLucas wrote. He’s a talented, ambitious young writer who will soon be publishing this collection of his science fiction stories. You can look forward to seeing this on shelves in the near future. Will post an update when they land.

The Batman

The Batman has alot going for him. Simple yet distinct origin story and suit. Genuinely challenging and interesting foes. And an unending supply of tools, weapons, and vehicles. I am thrilled with Nolan’s take on the Bat-mythology. The Dark Knight trilogy has risen the bar very high for all comic super-hero movies. It also leaves the door wide open for other even more interesting interpretations of the character and the story of Gotham. I hope that Bat-movies in the future will continue to explore other artists versions of that universe. I also hope that more and more people will discover the comics that have already been doing this for decades.

Don’t forget to pick up a comic book at your local comic book store after the show!

Page work

With everything that’s going on right now I’m still managing to work on pages for the new book. This is an example of that. I’m planning on a 5 (comic) book series for this story. Makin’ funny books is hard work!

Couldn’t help myself

The anticipation is building! Had to do an Avengers piece. I just had to.

Another character

Another main character from the story that I’m working on for my next book. Who wouldn’t want to go on an adventure with this guy?
