The website for my personal imprint, Atypical Comics is now LIVE. Pretty soon there will be comics, both print and digital, by me, for you to purchase there.
As for now, it’s also the home of There Is A Light that me and John Keogh did ages ago, which has been offline since sometime last year. So, there’s that.
Check it out, and stay tuned!
Over three years since my pitch was commissioned, little over two-and-a-half since I submitted my draft, 2 years since the final draft, a year-and-a-half since the art was completed… it’s finally coming!
OUTLAW TERRITORY 3 cover by Ryan Sook
OUTLAW TERRITORY 3 is the third and final volume in the best-selling Western comic anthology series edited by Michael Woods, being released by Image Comics this June. Among such industry luminaries as my friend Rob Williams (JUDGE DREDD, GHOST RIDER), Joshua Hale Fialkov (I, VAMPIRE; DOCTOR WHO), Chris Ryall (IDW), Tradd Moore (LUTHER STRODE), and multitudinous others, are 8 pages written by me, drawn by Michael Bills, called “Problem Solver”. It’s a darkly comic about a man name of Saul Petersen, and he’s got a story to tell, by golly.

Join us one last time as the critically acclaimed anthology Outlaw Territory returns with it’s largest volume ever! Thirty-five tales of the Old West from some of the biggest and brightest talent in the industry today. A wonderful addition to any comic lover or Western enthusiast’s bookshelf. Overlooking such an extraordinary collection of graphic storytelling would be downright criminal!
Twenty-five bucks gets you close to 300 pages of high plains excitement. Go git ‘em.
I am unbelievably shocked and dismayed to hear about the death of manga/anime translation pioneer Toren Smith at the too-young age of 52.
If you’ve ever enjoyed reading any manga in English, chances are he had something to do with it on some level. His name was on so many bestsellers, like Appleseed, Akira, Lone Wolf & Cub… he and Studio Proteus literally founded a sub-industry in the American comics business. Can’t overstate his impact.
Hello hello. Yes, a silent period once more. And then I just tried to spruce up the place a bit, and ended up making a mess of it, so reverting back to this design until I can remember how to cobble a website together.
In the meantime…
Today, March 5, 2013, is Creator Owned Day 2013, so what better way to cap that off that by showing you THIS:
TAKEDOWN cover by Zach Bassett
It’s the cover for something I’m working VERY VERY HARD to get to you by C2E2, called TAKEDOWN. Imagine Judge Dredd vs. Darth Vader. Yes. Pencil/ink art by a fine young man named Zach Bassett who I met through my homeboy Larry Watts. More information SOON. But for now, here’s the first look at TAKEDOWN. Enjoy, and Happy Creator Owned Day.
