The Monster of Blackenstyne (not to be confused with Blackenstein)

The Monster of Blackenstyne (not to be confused with Blackenstein) is a short story that was done for an anthology called Shook (published by Dark Horse). I essentially did this story as a proof-of-concept, to see if the basic narrative worked. I’m currently working on a one-shot comic that will expand the story, and make you all fall in love with the Monster of Blackenstyne (not to be confused with Blackenstein).

One of My Favorite Characters…

I’ve created and co-created a lot of characters, but The Monster of Blackenstyne (not to be confused with Blackenstein) is one of my all-time favorites. Here are some original character designs, drawn by me. The inks were done by Aaron Beatty. I’m currently working on a one-shot comic starring The Monster, which will also include an amazing gallery of pin-ups by some of the most incredible artists you’ve ever seen?

Writing Comics – NIGHTHAWK #1, First Draft…

This is the first draft of my script for NIGHTHAWK #1…but it is not the actual first issue. Rather, this version of the script/story is very different from how it started. In fact, ever issue of this series went through a lot of changes at various points in time. You can see some of those changes here on certain pages. At some point, I’ll post a video about each issue of NIGHTHAWK, which was a very stressful series for me to write. But for now, I hope you enjoy the script.
