If you're allergic to dust I suggest you crack open a window, because some of these go waaaaay back! That's how it's going to be, at least, until I get around to uploading some new comics - - although don't hold your breath - - I'm a very busy guy! heh...
What you see here is a collection of some comic book work that I've done either on my own or in collaboration with someone - usually my school buddy, Lloyd! One comic, in fact, goes as far back as 1976! Back then we started a little "company" we called Wow Incorporated, and we sold our comics for 50 cents an issue! Looking back at the art today I cringe a little - but hey, funny is funny no matter how "cheap" the drawings - and as you get closer and closer to present day, you might notice the art gets more and more involved! Still, I love the early stuff - it reminds me of a simpler time when we abbreviated the word "doofus" to "doof" and created a whole new type of character that no one's quite seen the likes of before or since! No really, it was quite the craze in High School, believe me! Even the Raven had his fans!
It seems my entire youth was spent drawing doofs, superheroes and monsters! Hey, that could be the title of my autobiography! I'll admit though, I was never good at drawing anatomically correct super heroes - too much to remember - or perhaps it's because of the time I was emotionally scarred by Burne Hogarth - I'm not sure... but our superheroes tended to be a bit more like Ralph Bakshi's Mighty Superheroes - cartoon-like and somewhat (dare I say it) cuddly? So with doofs, superheroes and monsters to choose from you're sure to find something here to your liking... just click below and enjoy yourselves!

The Kill Organization Strikes!
Our heroes Spooky and Supersnooper make their official debut in this first issue of Wow Incorporated Magazine, circa 1976 - in which they face daily nuisances fighting an organization comprised entirely out of morons.
Doof Nightmare!
See how the other half lives as this story follows one doof through a typical day. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out things don't go well!

Day At The Zoo
The most bizarre story in the issue - I'm kind of surprised how this one didn't immediately prompt some sort of emergency therapy intervention!
When Strikes The Raven
Our heroes face their toughest battle and are forced to team up with an unearthly affiliate, when confronted by the Raven - another being from a distant galaxy with powers far beyond their comprehension.
Although undated, I think this one was done in the late 80s! You'll see how it ends abruptly there towards the end - and just when things were really heating up! But stick with it for a lil' surprise explanation of sorts!

The Raven
Kind of a generic introduction to the Raven done years before he was to become a member of our little gang of superheroes. This was really nothing more than an assignment to do a color, 5 page comic for Mr. Strauss' cartooning class.
Oh, and as a side note - the Raven was also the subject of a super 8 sound film we never got to finish! Yes, really!
Action (packed) Comix
Just like the title says, you want action - you've GOT it! Spooky and Supersnooper show you how it's done - in near 3-D eye popping graphics! (No 3-D glasses required).

The Horror of Tiddlyville, a henpecked husband of an abusive wife goes on a rampage... and lastly, Yummy Yummy Yummy I Got Jimmy In My Tummy, a look at a strange young man and his newfound culinary tastes for human flesh!
