Original Comics

I edited Scifies: The 2019 Anthology, a science fiction comics anthology written and drawn by a diverse array of creators.

I contributed a short, magical realist story entitled “Laser Eyes” to Create Destroy Repeat: An Anthology of Rebirth and Redemption.

I wrote a humorous minicomic called BENNY BECK: VAMPIRE KILLER with art by cartoonist Jonah Newman.

I am currently editing two exciting comics from talented creative teams that I can’t talk about yet due to NDA.
