Three comics-related things I love:

Lettering: I letter on a freelance basis, often for very little if the project is great and the creators are poor. I love storytelling and design, and combining them is what lettering means to me.

Editing: I often hear that editing is what frustrated writers do for work. Not me -- I like to do both. Helping a writer bring a story to its fullest potential is a great part of the day. I used to say editing was my one marketable skill until I learned how to bake bread and letter comics. I have a special interest and knack for kids' comics from my time at Disney Adventures magazine.

Writing: I mainly write historical comics of varying stripes, some fictional, some non. All of them have heart -- I try to be more dramatic than didactic. And I love me some good old fashioned adventure yarns.

Feel free to drop me a line if you'd like my help on a project or if you just want to talk comics!

The Greater Escape

A short comic about Colditz Castle Fred and I made for the second Indie Spinner Rack anthology. All of it's true! And you can buy a copy here while feeling good about it since proceeds benefit the Center for Cartoon Studies.

Hair Pair -- Letters

I'm always honored to letter Charly LaGreca's hilarious kids comic, "The Hair Pair" for Disney Adventures magazine. Here are a few examples of abject silliness that I helped bring in to the world. © Charly LaGreca

Silver Mercedes -- Script and Letters

Fred Chao and I based this little story on a "Missed Connections" ad. It was meant for an anthology of such comics but alas, it didn't make the cut. The ad text is here verbatim. I made up what it could have meant. Fred brought it to life.

Robin Hood -- Script & Letters

Making Robin Hood comics for Disney was one of the best jobs I've ever had, mainly because of the stellar art team! I have bigger plans for Sherwood Forest that I hope will see the light one day. © Disney Enterprises, Inc.
