What’s this?! I actually finished a Gilbert Marlowe piece?!
First time for everything.
Gilbert Marlowe and the Siege of the World Tree
Black Jack!
So I’m pretty close to redrawing a chapter of Black Jack for the hell of it, much like Urasawa’s Pluto, or Brandon Graham and Emily Carrolls Archie comic.

Part 2 of 2
Hot of the back of Storm Chasers release. This was my first real experience working with a writer. A strange difficulty curve, but it got much easier when I decided what I wanted to do with it.
Comics.

Guys. My book.

Working on the grey tones for the new Storm Chasers pages, and this happened.
So, I dunno… pre-order/subscribe to see the finished single page of this 40 page story?
Hey! I haven’t posted an update on Tumblr about my webcomic in a while. Well, it’s still going, and I’m back after a 3 week hiatus after TCAF.
BUT I can’t remember where I left off here on Tumblr, so here’s a link to the start of the chapter
I really need to sort out my archive…
It’s high time I talked properly about this.
So Storm Chasers is getting a printed edition, courtesy of Paddy Lynch and his Cardboard Press imprint.
Now, I said way back when that Storm Chasers was digital-only, but then it sold dreadfully, and another option presented itself to get it back on its feet. So I took it, because gosh darn it, I’m proud of it. Maybe the most proud, but it was Paddy himself who insisted on Storm Chasers.
This version in particular will be a print exclusive EXPANDED edition, featuring 2 chunks of story I omitted from the original release because of reasons. There’ll also be some editing on occasion.
Now, I don’t know much about the other stuff coming out(We’re all still working on them), but if I ever knew anyone in this country who KNOWS comics, then you can trust that the other books will be fantastic. And most likely a bargain at the price.
So what’re ya waiting for?
Let’s soft launch this baby. You should check this out and subscribe…(because I’m involved, and you like me, don’t you?)And now for something completely similar…
I’m still doing these, it seems.
Someone asked if I was gonna make comics about this guy.
Maybe some day, but now, all he gets is these… Let’s call them one-panel-adventures.
Oh yeah, his name is Gilbert Marlowe. He exists in a confused state of me never knowing what story I want to tell with him, because he’s like the stock character I shove into every concept until it forms into what it’s meant to be.
And 2 of these are references to Book of the New Sun, by Gene Wolfe.
So, while I’ve been at TCAF, this is what I’ve been working on. I’ve been posting these on my Instagram, to prove I’m not slacking!
