Chris Howard

Chris Howard has been creating comics longer than he's been reading them. Introduced to home made comics by a grade school friend Chris was doomed from an early age. When said friend later opened a comic store, first out of his home and later a storefront, Chris got on the weekly comic shop ride and has never got off. He later returned to making home made comics during the 90's with the launch of Dressed For Success, and again in 2009 with the move to webcomics. When he's not immersed in comics he has a day job doing graphic design and IT, a night job as a children's librarian and a wife and son. He doesn't sleep much.

Lilith Dark

I love a good Walter Mitty story. And there have been some greats. Ralph Phillips from the old Warner Brothers cartoons, who dreamed up all sorts of adventures from everyday challenges. Hobbes very nature makes Calvin a Walter Mitty. I’ve…

Shrub Monkeys

Take journal comic and toss liberally with the absurd. Wrap it up in an animator side project box and you’ve got Shrub Monkeys.    The exploits of Katie Shanahan and her two younger siblings are presented weekly in a loose, strip…

Manta Man

Chad Sell himself admits he’s not 100% sure what Manta Man is. It’s a crazy, rambling tale of love, sex, naked ladies, and monkeys. […] It’s not exactly a superhero comic, and it’s only a little gay. Imagine something between Love &…

Outsider

Outsider is going straight into the ‘when is this going to be finished so I can buy the book’ category. Especially if they do a bit of tweaking to make the art consistent throughout. The story is familiar, Humanity begins space exploration…

Project Ballad

I’m not sure Project is the right term for this comic. I think Enterprise Ballad might be more fitting because this seems like something big. Really big. So big that in everything so far presented I can’t even begin to…

Bear Nuts

Bear Nuts is wrong. Cute fluffy animals doing unspeakable things wrong.  Seriously, when the cast list is: Prozac, Death, Gimp, Lech, Evil, Tanked, Gay, Nerd and Cracked Bear you know this is just wrong, wrong, wrong. And Alison Acton does…

Space Kid

We’re going back this week. Back in a retro sense, but also a bit of history. John MacLeod’s Space Kid is a throwback. And a self-aware one at that. If you enjoy 50’s science fiction, Astro Boy or rocket ships…

Specimen B28

This time we’re going out of this world. While at Wizard World I ran into Stephen Daymond whose work I had noticed before but hadn’t followed up on. Specimen B28 is a little bit 70’s UFO culture, a little bit Tripping…

Vengador

So an area I haven’t wandered into is webcomics doing what print comics have all sealed up. Superheroes. It’s a tough area, when you have a whole industry that is focused in on that one genre. You are putting yourself…

Boumeries

On Sunday my walkabout took me to the Toronto Wizard World show. A bit barren, but I did stumble across a few new finds. My first was one I was aware of before attending, but pleasantly pleased to find and…
