13 Steps 

If you were a werewolf, would you feel bad about it?

GearHead 

GearHead is the story of Shelby Cooper as she struggles to come to terms with who her father was and what she is becoming. Oh yeah, she beats people up with wrench, too. Bi-monthly starting in 2007 from Arcana Studios.

The Kill 

Revenge is never about who fucked you over, it's about who you can fuck over. NSFW

Words and pics: Mellon, Inks: Ed Herrera

All "the Kill" pages, unless otherwise noted, were drawn over the past 2 years. forgive the style changes.

I just got "Thirteen Steps" #1 today and I must say that I am truly blown away. Your artwork was so gripping and just detailed enough. And there wasn't any panel waste either. So many artists and writers cut corners by copying drawings as if they were animation so it was great to see that everything you did was freshly drawn.

My compliments go to the writers too for what looks to be like a fresh and fun but meaningful look at what could have been a really hokey concept. It's great that you have a werewolf lead character but with so many monsters and weirdos in the cast that we haven't met yet, I can't wait to see what else lies in this world.

This series is already on my pull list and will be staying there for sometime. I'll be pushing it for my friends too.

Hey man,

Is the Gearhead issue #1 diamond code still good? Will my poor ol' little UK comic store be able to unearth a copy for me with it or is it gonna get rejected like my credit card?!

1 Reply [ Latest posted on January 22nd, 2007 6:10 PM ]

[ Posted by aimsatellite on Jan 22nd, 2007 6:10 PM ]... yeah, that code should be good indefinitely... let me know if you're having problems getting it ordered and i can see what we can do to get it to you.

If only I could have as many friends as you...

I'm impatiently awaiting my copy of GearHead. It better be as good as it looks!

[ Posted by aimsatellite on Dec 21st, 2006 6:22 PM ]... eh, it's not. I hack and hack and hack and hack... it's a neverending cycle. but at least the inks are good. the only thing that really sucks is that i drew the first issue in jan. of '06... and did the last issue over a month ago... big difference in quality, lemme tell ya.

[ Posted by thwip on Dec 19th, 2006 9:23 PM ]...

Hey Kevin,
The preview of Gear Head looked pretty cool. I met you a couple weeks ago at the Des Moines comic club small show, and you did a cool sketch of Wonder Woman in my sketchbook - thanks again!
