I mostly talk about Cheapjack Gentlemen, but I have a TON of OCs/comic ideas that never made it. One was a story following the staff of a power plant in the netherworld, powered by human souls. It's a bit like Styx, if it was a factory. A mix of death-related mythology from different cultures.

Carl Tanzler was a German-American radiographer who became disturbingly obsessed with his patient, Elena Milagro de Hoyos - even after her death. He lived with her body for years, rebuilding her decomposing corpse. He danced with it, serenaded it, and…I’ll leave the rest up to your imagination.

The visual designs of the main protagonists of Cheapjack Gentlemen (Wilkinson and Edmund) are based on a crow and a vulture -- birds of prey associated with death.

The original comic was part of an anthology kickstarter that failed to fund. I thought I lost the whole comic since, but I managed to find it on my old computer.
I can’t look at it without cringing, but I can’t deny that it’s technically the pilot comic of Cheapjack Gentlemen.

Cheapjack Gentlemen pages 9-12. Still slowly working on reformatting/relettering, it's getting there! All that's left is fixing up the lettering.
Meanwhile, you can read the entire thing in vertical scroll format over on Tapas, Globalcomix, and Comicfury.

I read an entire speech from a surgeon to his apprentices circa 1820's for these couple of lines, hahaha.
I might go a little overboard with research for writing. What else am I going to do with my time, though? Socialize to convince everyone I'm a human? ...Which I am, I swear.
