Usually when I'm writing a biographical graphic novel for TidalWave Comics, I take the job very seriously-- tapping into my journalism background & taking extra-special care to get every date/name/fact correct.

With FAME: CHUCK NORRIS... I took a different approach.

If you’re looking for a Día De Los Muertos gift to impress that goth Latina in the office who you have a crush on, might I suggest picking up a copy of FANTASMAGORÍA?

One of my favorite books I’ve ever worked on! It’s basically a Chicano TALES FROM THE CRYPT.

I have been reminded (by Facebook) that it’s the 9 year anniversary of me bringing SONIC WAKU WAKU PATROL CAR into the comic book canon, in issue #288 of the Archie series

In the Waku Waku universe, Sonic is a cop who hates speeding! Can you even believe that?
