The Ghost of Charles Pallentine

Hey, folks!

It’s been just over a week since the end of the first TotR story, “Sea of the Dead!”, and I’m happy to report that the scripting for the next story, an 8-page short called “The Fleshless Legion”, is nearly complete! Although it will be short, I can promise that it will be packed with excitement. There will be trains, mummified soldiers from the civil war, flesh-eating gas, graveyards, and of course, ghosts!

A change I’m making in this story is that I actually intend to show the ghost of Charles Pallentine, not just Eddie talking to a disembodied voice from the ring. In case you’ve ever wondered what Charles might have looked like, here’s a sneak peek!

End of "Sea of the Dead!"

Well folks, after 8 months of working every day, the first Revenant story has come to a close. It’s been a great learning experience, and I’ve met some wonderful people.

…and I’m ready for more!

So..what’s next?

Well, I just finished the illustrations to a great pulp book, Volume two of “Episodes from the Zero Hour!”

Ron has put together an awesome story in “Warrior’s Heart”…..when I read it, I had to do the illustrations! It’s on sale right now at Lulu.com!

Ain’t that a great cover?)

Now, with the obligation complete, I’m ready to begin work on the next “Tales of the Revenant” story, which I intend to submit to DC Comic’s webcomic imprint Zuda Comics in October!

In the meantime, I’m investigating a piece of software called “Comic Life“, which is a comic creation program that is typically out for Mac users, but is now at a beta stage. It’s built a bit on the campy side, but there’s some amazingly functional tools. Here’s something that I just threw together as I was testing it out…..I thought it was pretty fun!

Anyway, I’ll update as I get more information!
