Art or Else!

It occured to me that I had not made the announcement here, where I could reach lots of folks at once…

My team and I scored a big break. In the current issue of  Heavy Metal magazine, we have a story. (May 2007, green HM logo)

Now, the reason this is a big deal:
Heavy Metal has the largest circulation of any graphic arts or comic book in the world, with the possible exception of Superman – a quarter of a million international sales, with versions in french, spanish and god knows what other languages.
And- they want more stories from us.

Look for Heavy Metal on the newstands. My story, Family Man, is an exception to the usual tits-and-guns stuff which is the standard fare for HM; an unpleasant little horror story with three more followups on the way.
Next isssue look for a second story, Occam’s Razor, also from my incredibly talented team at Art or Else, Henry Martinez (Pencils)
and my oldest friend, Danny Rivera (Inks and letters)

With any luck, this could really go somewhere good.

    Holy crap! That’s awesome. I remember you telling me a little of the story for “Occam’s Razor” — I don’t know if I ever even saw any of the art for it. At this rate, I’m going to have to get a subscription.
