Starship Troopers 

Markosia's "Starship Troopers" comic, written by Tony Lee, follows the exploits of Will Tanner, his brother Max, Career Sergeant Zim, and the Tigers, Tanner's Mobile Infrantry unit. Previewing pages from upcoming books

Markosia cover gallery 

Check out covers for upcoming Markosia TPBs and single issues that I slapped logos and copy on. Series logos are by various creators. The Markosia logo is by Rich Emms but I re-did it in Illustrator and it's a bit more symmetrical than the original.

Dracula vs. Capone 

1929, Prohibition-era Chicago. The streets run red with blood in Al Capone's war against government crusader Eliot Ness. No one can challenge Capone's rule...unless they are invited...

All sorts of shizzle! I decided to drop 2D art altogether and switch to 3D and it's been a total pain in the buttocks! But I'm getting there... (I think. Eep.)

Was the New Orleans: Hope one the one that I did that greyscaling on? I was wondering what happened with that. Ever since ComicReview went down, I've been missing out on what's going on with everyone...

	[ Posted by thomasmauer on Mar 11th, 2007 1:12 PM ]... Yup, that's exactly the one. We couldn't get a move on with Diamond until now, but now it looks like we're finally getting somewhere, the book out there soon and off my mind. :)
	[ Posted by daniellundie on Mar 11th, 2007 3:23 PM ]... HUZZAH! Let me know when it's coming out! I think it'll actually be my first thing through Diamond! All landmarky and such. :)

	[ Posted by TheHumungusStudio on Feb 22nd, 2007 10:29 AM ]... Gah! Gross oversight! It's fixed now, oh wise and hard working letter monkey. Now get back to work! ::crack!::

	[ Posted by thomasmauer on Feb 18th, 2007 2:37 PM ]... Hi, Mary and David, thanks for the kind words! The art in your gallery is stunning. Page 15 makes me wish you guys would do Wonder Woman (that'd be a reason for me to actually pick up that book). Btw, the Hildebrandt Star Wars covers are my absolute favorites! I'm happy to see the talent continues to run in the family. :D (Isn't it funny that you're making money in the German market while I do in the American/UK market?)
	[ Posted by LimeManga on Feb 18th, 2007 4:31 PM ]... Yeah...that is weird. We went about the manga thing in a unique way. We did contact the US office first but then David realized Jo Kaps was head of the German office. He and David go back to the German fanzine days so the choice was obvious. David did sooo many Wonder Woman commissions and almost took on a book for DC but chose to create his own stories. Not knocking work for hire but owning your own copyright is a huge plus. My work is very different from my fathers and that's a good thing...I felt like a shadow artist for many years...now I found my own voice! Thanks Thomas! Take care and maybe one day we'll hook up...David and I are looking into going to a few German shows...just hafta catch up on deadlines! Mary
	[ Posted by thomasmauer on Feb 19th, 2007 3:37 AM ]... We might be able to hang out in SDCC. I'm planning on going but need to work on the money end for that. If Markosia plans to go to one of the German shows, I'll also be there helping to man the tables. :)
