Hi All,

Thanks for stopping by. That's my website up above. A link to my Online Comics page. Basically websitecomics.com is a one panel comic strip type series that you would see in the paper.

I've been a comic book fan for so long, I can't even place when. Especially if you count all the related comic media, even back then.

A HUGE Marvel fan and of there '60's heroes. Especially the Silver Age creators. Such as Stan Lee, Ditko, Kirby, Romita Sr., Kane and the list goes on.

Recently been reading up on the DC Golden Age and really like the early work done with Superman and Batman in particular. And sure, of the DC crowd those are the few I'm a big fan of.

I consider myself an Idea man. Only trouble is getting what's in my head out there in tangible form for others to see. I've got a bunch of ideas.

I used to think a dream job would be working at Marvel or DC comics. Or any one in particular that can pay a full time financial income. So you can get by. But as you are probably aware, unless your connected, it's near impossible to get a "real" comics gig.

And while I'd be hard to put into words the feel of writing and actually making comic books published by such companies. Realistically, I wonder, what are the odds?

I also expanded my horizon in recent years and am a fan of comic book history and researching and learning who did what. And how my favorite heroes and villains were created. It's also helped shape my views on the industry and creators then and now.

One thing I realized is: Where are the new characters? Almost all the Marvel and DC villains are just recycled again and yet again. Yet the creators who made these characters are no longer around.

It inspired me to think beyond just using others characters, and to make my own characters. Which I've done. In terms of design, colors, powers, who they are type things.

And I guess I consider myself an idea man, as I said. And writer. But artistically I know I can't cut it, not by a longshot as a comic artist. At least not in the traditional superhero books we are used to in America sense.

So basically that's where it's been situation wise. With no connections or hookups.

Then I decided to recently go a completely different route. To start a comic series of comedy, non real world. A comic series such as you would see in the newspaper.

What I ended up with is a series which is one panel each. Such as a newspaper strip.

With it I used what art ability I have, with my writing to make my own and first official comic strip. It's a light theme focused on just having fun. As well as making fun: Of Celebrities, Musicians, Politicians, etc.

Basically the things we hear about everyday and are almost forced to hear because we can't avoid it. And to turn it around and make comedy jokes about them.

Though one day my main goal is to have a few of my main Superhero characters in there own 6 to 12 issue mini-series produced in regular comic book format. And then later released in a nice trade format.

Who knows, maybe one day right?

Thanks for reading.
