Comics By My Friend Troy Gillogly


I have known Troy Gillogly for about ten years. He, another friend of mine named Roy Dornbusch and I published a comic book back in 1997 called “Area 13”. Well, ten years later I’m still planning and working on ideas for other comic book projects and Troy has now published two projects, “Snuffy, The Vampire Rabbit” and “Wild Breed”.

Wild Breed is a project that Troy has had in the works since before I even knew him, which he has now brought to life. The story takes in medieval times with a demon setting the stage for his people, the Appolyons, to rule the kingdom of Asria. It is filled with interesting characters and a good story.

Snuffy, The Vampire Rabbit is about a hitman rabbit that is send on what he thinks is an ordinary hit job, but he soon finds out different. Snuffy discoveries that the man he is sent to kill is a vampire. Although he kills the vampire he is bitten and starts to go through some weird changes. Now, Snuffy is on a mission to find out if his boss knew the victim was a vampire and if he sent Snuffy there to be killed.

Both projects are out now, Snuffy with two issues done and Wild Breed with its first issue. All three books have great artwork. Although I have always been a big fan of Troy’s art, it’s still amazing to see how much he’s grown.

You can get more info and contact Troy at Comic Space.

I will be doing a interview with Troy in the near future so watch out for that.

Jim Lee One Of The Best


I’m a comic book fan from way back. I go back to the hay days of Jack Kirby, Jim Steranko, Neal Adams and Steve Ditko just to name a few. There are some of today’s comic book artists that I like and one of the top ones is Jim Lee. He is one of those artists that seem to put a lot of thought and effort into his drawings.

His use of angles and perspective when he draws the human figure reminds me sometimes of Jim Streranko’s stuff back when he was doing “Nick Fury, Agent of Shield”. Jim has a great flair for dramatic poses and his backgrounds are simply fantastic. When you put Jim Lee’s pencils with Scott Williams inks you have yourself an unbeatable combination.

I’m not a big fan of Jim Lee’s writing, but I love his artwork so he goes down as one of my top favorites. Be sure to Check out his work. You can also see Jim Lee in action at my new Comic Book Video site.

Alex Ross, Nuff Said


I think what I’m going to do is each week I will talk about a comic book artist I like. I want to start of with an artist I whose work I absolutely love and who is obviously who my comic book superhero paintings influenced by.

Alex Ross was the first to artist to breath life into comic book superheroes. People like Neal Adams and Gene Colan drew superheroes realistically, but Ross made them come alive, he made them real tangible people. His first “Marvels” cover made you wonder if it was somehow some trick photography done to make a man look like he was on fire to be the Human Torch.

Since then Ross has gone on to do some other great works. Kingdom Come, his covers for Astro City and his over sized books on Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and the Justice Leauge, all of which I have collected.

I must admit that Alex Ross was a big influence on me to do my superhero portraits, although there are other influences that affect my other comic book art and I will talk about them later.
