Convention Sketches

Pages from my convention sketchbook. I asked various artists to draw specific characters "immediately after having their a$$es kicked by ninjas."

Smuggling Spirits (First 5 Pages) 

Original Graphic Novel from Ambrosia Publishing.

A nightmarish vision of Prohibition-era America where humans live in fear of the deadly monstrosities lurking just outside their windows.

Me and My Shadow

Short horror comic originally printed in the Dark Horrors Anthology by Arcana Studio and subsequently printed in the Winter 2007 Journal by 20dissidents Publishing.

Lost and Frond

Need a pet detective who specializes in ... unusual beasties? Family velociraptor ran away? Someone kidnap your pure-breed Deep One? Frond's your man. Provided you've got the cash.

Published by Viper Comics in Dummy's Guide to Danger #2.

RE: OfficeMonkey Noir

Wow, it's very different from everything else out there (which is already, I think, a reason to do it).

[ Posted by BenFisher on Mar 27th, 2007 3:47 PM ]... Thanks, Robert. Do me a favor and make sure you send me a message as your Arcana comics are solicited. The pitches for the series that I've seen so far are excellent.

[ Posted by BenFisher on Mar 27th, 2007 10:35 AM ]... Thanks -- we appreciate the comment. It takes a surprising amount of work to put together a single page, but it's also fun as hell (maybe we just like wearing costumes ...). If there is enough interest, we fully intend to publish it as an on-going serial. Thanks again for leaving your thoughts.

[ Posted by BenFisher on Mar 21st, 2007 5:19 PM ]... Thanks. And I agree -- Mike Henderson (the artist for Smuggling Spirits) really has a wonderful style. He's been a lot of fun to work with on that project.

Hi Ben, thanks for checking out my work and sending the friend request. Really appreciated. Look forward to checking out more of your work too :)

I love your comics, they're delightfully disturbing... as odd a sentance as that is to say. I like the gritty feel they've got them as well as your use of light and dark.

[ Posted by BenFisher on Mar 14th, 2007 1:03 AM ]... Thank for the kind words. I should say that I cannot take credit for the art -- the pencils were done by the talented Mike Henderson. I should say that, as it would only be fair to Mike ... but since he's too lazy to set up his own ComicSpace page, I'll go ahead and claim full responsibility. Just don't ask me to sketch anything ... I have the drawing skills of an apricot (which, to be fair, is the most artistically gifted of all the wrinkled fruit). I sincerely do appreciate the comments, and look forward to many more Adagissimo pages.

Hi, Ben -- looks like you're having some success getting your stories out there, and I imagine the best is yet to come! :)
