Original Comics

Here are some of the comics I've worked on in the past few years. My earliest comics were self-published in the late 90's under the name Jerkbox Studios, and since then I've been involved in a bunch of other various comic projects and collaborations, the largest one being Boo! Halloween Stories with Calamity Jon Morris. Here are a comics (some samples, some full-length) I've worked on...


True Porn 2

My first real comics work (i.e. not published by me) was an autobiographical short story in the second True Porn anthology, called Menage-à-Duh!

I'm so stupid!
 
Menage-à-Duh!
7 pages, written and illustrated by Manning L. Krull
Man, is this story ever embarrassing. For now, I'm just posting a few pages as a teaser. You can buy the book to read the rest! My story is in the second volume, but both are awesome.
 


Abe Scott: Boy's Life

I had the honor of participating in this daunting anthology project spearheaded by Jon Morris. Jon challenged a bunch of comic artists to illustrate entries from our good friend Abe Scott's incredible, hilarious LiveJournal, and put the whole thing together as a surprise gift for his birthday. The result was an amazing 65-page limited-edition comic about Abe's exploits. Here's my contribution:


 
Iggy Pop Fan-Fiction
10 pages, written by Abe Scott and Mickey Chiechi,
illustrated by Manning L. Krull

This is some of the most insane and offensive stuff I've ever drawn! The script comes verbatim from Abe's LiveJournal, you gotta believe me. Man, this thing...

Boo! is a big ol' Halloween anthology I do every year or two with my good pal Jon Morris, sometimes online, sometimes as a printed book, sometimes both!
