The Night Watchman Returns

 I'm not the first to spoof Frank Miller's iconic drawing of Batman and Robin swinging across Gotham City's skyline, but I am the first to add a wolfman, one of my own characters from The Night Watchman. Mick Shaw's female sidekick has yet to be named, but she will be an S & T University student studying the nighttime ecology of the spring & surrounding park, overlapping Mick's shift as Night Watchman. I gave her Robin/Carrie Kelly's slingshot from Dark Knight Returns and drew bats in the background to further my homage, replacing Gotham's skyline in the background with chimneys from the old Meramec Ironworks which stand to this day in Meramec State Park.

Apotheosis Comics and Wizard's Wagon Now Carrying G.H.O.S.T. Agents, Night Watchman Sketchbook

Apotheosis Comics & Lounge is now also carrying G.H.O.S.T. Agents: Crimson Reckoning & my Spring/Summer 2023 Night Watchman Sketchbook! Crimson Reckoning (Cosmic Lion Productions) is a spy-fi anthology capturing the energy that some comics had in the mid-60s and throughout the '70s with an element of danger! This 9 x 13” Treasury Edition -sized comic includes several other artists and I with writer Rocko Jerome! (Ghost.Agents.Net)

The Night Watchman sketchbook is a 20 page inside preview of my own sci-fi/horror tale centered around the retiree Mick Shaw, who becomes its unwitting defender against the otherworldly threats lurking beneath Meramec Springs!

The Wizard’s Wagon was already selling both my books and is also an exciting gathering place with a ton of recommendations on what to read!
