In commemoration of the upcoming story written by Brian Babyok, I’ve decided to break out a story from the vaults about GD7. GD7 is a superhero group created for my universe by Brian. The following story is written by me about an incident mentioned in “The Great Jaguar Paw“.
This story has been available only in print and on my Patreon, until, now
No new comics for a few weeks as I work on preliminary sketches and designs on a couple stories. Here’s what I’m working on, this week!
And that’s my big reveal. Shouldn’t be a big surprise if you’ve ever read my Timeline.
This story continues in the upcoming, “Council of Phins”, which will post for free on my Patreon.
“And the In-Phin-ite Jest” storyline will continue. I’m just getting started.
Next, though, will be “Queen of the Cold Night”, in May. Written By Brian Babyok, it’s a full fledged graphic novel, and will be a lot of fun.
Stay tuned for updates and more comics.
The completed “Night Before X-mas” is our newest bonus story, exclusively posted on our Patreon for our Patrons. It’s inexpensive to join, you get hundreds of bonus pages and my undying thanks for the support!
How many guessed that?
As the last few pages of “Boy Wizards” are finished, I’ll be moving onto a few new comic projects.
I’ll be starting work on the new Phineus graphic novel, “Queen of the Cold Night” with Brian Babyok starting sometime in May. Once “Boy Wizard” is finished up, I’ll have design work and thumbnailing to do to get ready for the story to begin posting. As usual all my preliminary and work up stuff can be seen first on my Patreon. Check out Brian’s novel here on Amazon.
Next up, I’ll be starting a new Bonus story (also posting exclusively on my Patreon) that will go into what will be my next Trade paperback, The first volume of The Complete Magician for Hire. This story is called “Council of Phin’s”.
And thirdly, I’ll begin design work and thumbnails for the crossover between Phineus and Explorers of the Unknown with Shawn Atkins. This should be fun, as we’re doing a story plotted by Shawn, drawn the old Marvel way by me and inked by Shawn. Should be a lot of fun. Check out Shawn’s stuff here.
It’s going to be a fun year of new comics, new stories and new collaborations.
This week check back for the exciting finish to “Boy Wizards”!
See you, soon!
Wait?! Is that COLE?!
Taking a little break and doing another Sketch card comic. This time, a rematch of Phin and Rotwang from Issue#6 “Rotwang”.
New Boy Wizard page up tomorrow (Friday).
I did some more of these little guys. They’re fun. We’ll see how they sell. I like doing them, any way.
Just stumbled on this relic from days gone by. That time Combo Magazine reviewed our Role-Playing Game… favorably. Fun stuff!
The 2nd edition, Phineus Roleplaying Game is available for sale on Amazon!
Buy one here: Phineus: The Role Playing Game: Backwaters of Mysticism (Phineus + Magician for Hire)
I got an idea off insta Nicolas Giacondino to do sketch card comics. Tiny little original comicbook pages! Fun stuff!
I may do a series of these, mini mini comics. They’ll be sold with my other sketch cards at conventions and shows.
Here’s the cover for the BRAND NEW trade paperback for Maynard and Grimm! It’s available for sale at Amazon! Click HERE
It includes all 6 seasons of the 7×7 series, a bonus story, “Night Before X-Mas ” & the original 2009 “Maynard & Grimm” one shot.
And now, the super villain!!!
OH, NOES!!
I’m playing with penciling on paper, inking and coloring digitally. Mix things up a bit. I like digital art, but im trying to recapture something I lost in the transition.
Gotta be weird to talk to your younger self…
And that is the end of our Maynard and Grimm storyline. It was started as an experiment for the local Pittsburgh comic group, 7X7. We disbanded in 2020, but I never like to keep anything unfinished, so I finished it. I am still working on the last few pages of the M&G bonus story over at my Patreon, “Night Before X-mas”. All will be included in a trade paperback, that may be available this spring!
Here are my actual character sheets of the comics heroes, that I actually played in game. Rugnar was actually a character in a fantasy world campaign.
I have a whole tabletop RPG, but I’d like to develop a miniature based tabletop game along the lines of a Talisman or Space Weirdos. I’ll continue to fiddle and test things out at a gaming weekend I have coming up this summer.

Guess who?
This month into April, I’ll be finishing up the year long commission story I’ve been working on, as well completing “Maynard and Grimm” and “Boy Wizards”. I just finished up “Barcrawl of the Damned”, recently, as well. All these projects dragged on far too long, due to my car accident and also dealing with my depression and anxiety. I apologize for that.
Once these loose ends are all tied up, I’ll be starting on 2 new projects, both collaborations with friends of mine.
The regular ongoing story will be “Queen of the Cold Night”, written by Brian Babyok and art by me. This will post MWF on the main site, starting in May.
The bonus story will be “The Midnight Isle/ isla de medianoche” a collaboration with Shawn Atkins and is a crossover of Phineus and his Explorers of the Unknown. He’s written a treatment, I’ll be drawing the story and Shawn will color and dialog. Updates will post jointly on both of our Patreons. This should also start in May.
So, that’s our plan. I want back to multiple pages a week, and regularity in making.
Wish me luck.
Phin, meet…Phin!
