Small town Kentucky guy who creates his own comic, Man in the Mask. I also draw a LOT of golden age characters.
FINAL PART OF "DEVIL'S MARK!"

It's all been building to this. The crossover is Man in the Mask/Grendel. At 14, Tommy ISN'T the Man in the Mask. It just made sense that Grendel needed to meet the original.

Have fun and share away. Thanks. Only on the Millerton Gazette. All FREE.

Check out the second part of "Devil's Mark" over on my FREE newsletter.

I tried to treat this fan fiction, unofficial crossover with Matt Wagner's Grendel, as serious and respectful as I could. First rule of a crossover, make sure each side of the fandom has a decent idea who the other character is

GREEN HORNET-NOW

Years ago, just for fun, I asked my pal Ronald Fortier if he were to revisit his version of the Green Hornet today, what would it look like? He gave me some info and I did two quick sketches of the two main characters, Danny Reid and the rebellious Kid Kato.

Something might be considered "fan fiction" but that doesn't mean it can't count for something. Check out my post on the origins of "Devil's Mark."

330 pages of alternate history mystery/adventure, the first of three, all for thirty slim bucks. LAVENDER JACK had a long life as a Webtoon Original, but no one's seen it like this yet:

HEY CREATORS/PUBLISHERS!
Need that final touch to your comics? It's too cool to see lettering on all that hard work when that idea or story you had, becomes a comic. Give me a shout and let's make some cool comics.
