'December 3rd 1967: An Alien Encounter' goes live on Comixology - Dec. 3rd 2014 - It's 47th Anniversary!

Iphone and tablet users!.. 'December 3rd 1967: An Alien Encounter', one of my proudest achievements, comes to www.comixology.com this Wednesday, December 3rd marking Herbert Schirmer's 1967 encounter anniversary of 47 years.

Originally released with a successful Kickstarter campaign, the idea first found me while exploring some U.F.O. contactee sound files - of which, Herbert's audio storytelling was beautifully told and captured. Below and above is HIS dialogue, transcribed word for word.

I'm working on getting physical copies back in print. Stay tuned for that announcement and more!...

Where have all the panel dynamics gone?... Misfit Wrestling Federation #6 Page 20

Well, they're not in current wrestling comics. Yes, I have *ahem* competitors as of late with the commercial market -- WWE is now putting out a comic book with even, pro wrestlers scribing the tales. Sounds awesome but where's the panel dynamics?.. The only thing that could truly show the art form of pro wrestling in a sequential form?.. Not in their full-colored, ad-ridden adventure.

Yes, my work is black and white BUT it does have panel dynamics. 

What is panel dynamics?...

My own definition of panel dynamics is letting the objects dictate the panel motion and flow. This, combined with proper (emphasis on clarity) balloon placement, a page not only can get dynamic, but it also allows for an "environment wrapping" manifesto of the objects... All the while, the eye is literally on a ride around the page. Something only comics can do and can be embraced whole-heartedly in any line of pro wrestling comics. 

Just my opinion ^_^

www.bombshell-comics.com has a new website look up!... Check out my living room!.. 

Wrestling relationships and a finished page #5 from M.W.F. #6!...

Another mode i'm playing with, let's call it, in Misfit Wrestling Federation is the idea of the wrestling relationship -- beyond physicality. A common theme in our every day lives, but what about with wrestlers?.. Are they still all "over-the-top" outside of the ring?...

 Mmm... Not necessarily, but it sure can make a journey!...

Here, Bald-Headed Freak - a long time wrestler, and the figure head of the M.W.F. from his notoriety, reflects back to hearing gossip of Big Dongrel Mongrel (Big Don)'s days of using his own rules in the ring.

All the while, Mad Mike is doing his best to catch up with 'the Freak', but are they just business partners at different sides of the spectrum or is there something else going on that can't let them "gel"?...

A now lettered, inked, and toned Page #5 from M.W.F. #6 !

Stay tuned for more frames from the latest projects!...

A "Half & Half" (Half pencils/half inks) from M.W.F. Issue #6

Here's another half & half from my unlimited series, Misfit Wrestling Federation. In issue #6 i'm still pushing the bearers of what comics can only do.

 I guess that's how I can explain this half & half page layout below.. and really, a large substantial part that is the makeup to this series... Other than, loose-canon and crazy-fit (from steroids or not?) characters like the Bald-Headed Freak (below) to obsessive compulsive "head of the company" mad-men, Mad Mike (below). The cast runs the gamut of off-beat personas that you wrestling fans would really enjoy.

 Learn about them in the M.W.F. - Misfit Wrestling Federation series, still available thru Paypal at my website: www.bombshell-comics.com ~~

If you look closely at this page, you'll find some written dialogue that could "take place" in this future world i'm bring you in to / if you so choose!...

Enjoy !...

Cover for M.W.F. #6 + I'm filling you in!...

Hi everybody,

I've been hard at work over here on a few different fun, exciting and challenging projects. I'm looking forward to sharing them all of course, but i still don't want to give you away all too much!... This passed month, I had the pleasure of working on business card cartoons, full colored comic pages, storyboards and some web application illustrations that all went very well. Today, I delivered a personal birthday gift for a friend to his friends, which was quite interesting. He let me have free reign to interpret the couple presented, so I took it to space of course, put them on a unicorn among a celestial sky fighting creepy bi-pedal humanoids and voila!.... .. Just your average birthday gift ; )

Below, you'll find the cover of M.W.F. #6, because yes, it's still being done and yes, i'm doing two books at once. But they're entirely two different "animals" so chill out @_@/ www.bombshell-comics.com for what i've done so far on this planet!...

The only current pro wrestling comic book series in print?... maybe?...

Enjoy!..
MJ
