Good day, all! My story is that I'm an ex-cartoonist/illustrator who draws pretty much for fun now. I enjoy writing and drawing, and hanging with my pals over at COMICOPIA, our fine APA. I distinguish the group by being the only member from the State of Arizona in an APA that primarily consists of Canadian members! What th-?

In the late 80's, I was the Art Director of Another Rainbow Publishing, the publisher (at that time) of the CARL BARKS LIBRARY, MICKEY MOUSE IN COLOR and the Carl Barks and Frank Frazetta lithograph series. I have also been a staff illustrator for the ARIZONA REPUBLIC newspaper, and have had my illustrations appear in various science fiction and horror books and calendars.

I've also done some writing for various Internet sites,BACKISSUE and ALTER EGO magazines from TwoMorrows Publishing, and general fiction when I have the time.

I'm a longtime fan of DC Comics, but I loves the Marvel books as well. I became a huge fan of the Batman fan at the age of six, after receiving my first comic book, BATMAN #180, the famous "Death Knocks Three Times" story, which was also, coincidentally enough, the first comic book of writer Mark Waid's career.

I'm currently a huge fan of DC's altered universe, especially the Batman by Morrison and Kubert, the Superman books, and the amazing JSA by Geoff Johns. I buy anything that comes from TwoMorrows publishing, and am a huge fan of artists Neal Adams, Darwyn Cooke, the Kuberts, Alex Ross, Jim Lee, John Cassaday and many more.

Hey Jay!

Welcome to ComicSpace! So nice to have you around! I never knew you worked for Another Rainbow, that's very cool.

Hey Mark - Thanks very much. I'll have to discuss the Another Rainbow gig some more in future 'Copias. It was both cool and insane at the same time, while it lasted.

Jay
