Fiction-writing is essentially an auto-hypnotic process. No story is real to the reader unless it is real to the writer, and the only experience we know to be unreal but feel to be real is a dream. The writer is a person whose mind will split in two, so that he can dream and be awake at the same time.
--Rose Wilder Lane

About Me
I'm an amateur comics writer looking to go pro. There are a few projects I'm working on but nothing is set yet. However, I am always looking for artists to work with. If you're interested then read some of my scripts on my Deviant Art page. I can send you more examples if you're interested. Contact me at byron.dunn@gmail.com. Also, look at my profile on ComicJobz.com.

If you can't tell, I made the little logo for this page by myself! Cool, huh?

I'm also in charge of a little Kansas City area gathering called...

Monthly Comics I'm Reading:
The Amazing Wolf-Man - I'm a sucker for werewolves!
Thirteen Steps - See above. Also, the writing is great and the artist is phenomenal
She-Hulk - I was pissed to see Dan Slott and his world get replaced with Peter David. And then, that bastard David went and started telling a good story. Damn you, David. Damn you!
Xombie - The only zombie comic I will ever read. I hate zombies.
Fables - Probably the single best comic book being made right now. I only read the trade paperbacks, however. I hate ads more than zombies!

Favorite Creators:
Neil Gaiman - A master writer but his comics are probably his best works.
Alan Moore - Completely nuts and that's what makes him brilliant.
Dan Slott - I'm just discovering him thanks to She-Hulk.
Bill Willingham - Just does a bang up job with Fables.
Yoshihiro Tatsumi - A brilliant mangaka, one of the founders of the genkiga style of manga.
