On The Board

in /by

I am so happy to be back to the world of Trekker that I wanted to share a glimpse as I am in the process of inking the first of the brand-new stories that will appear at trekkercomic.com once I have finished posted all the previously existing tales. I’ve been extremely pleased to find that it hasn’t taken long to feel that I have recaptured, I hope, the flavor of the series. If you want to see what I’m talking about, go to my Trekker website. The home page will bring up the posts of the “vintage” stories I am representing, and by clicking the “Spoiler Alert!” page from the top menu you can see some of the rough pencilled pages from the new stories in progress!

TREKKER at Emerald City Comic Con!

Just got word that my submission to the 2012 edition of the classy “Monsters and Dames” art book for Seattle’s Emerald City show has made it into the book. So, if you are at the con, please pick up a copy– it has 80 full-color pieces by a wide and wonderful assortment from many of the industry’s best artists– and bring it by my table where I will be signing.

My contribution to the book is this illustration, the first new piece of Trekker art that I have finished for publication in some time. It felt great to get back to drawing my own character, and I am in the midst of bringing her stories back to the light of day over at trekkercomic.com. The colors here are once again by the talented Jeremy Colwell, who brings just the right touch of atmosphere to Trekker’s often black-and-white world.

Saddled Up in the New Year

A busy last few months around here! Apart from launching the trekkercomic.com website, the holidays and moving to a wonderful new house and I’ve also kept my hand busy drawing a nifty Western comic mini-series! While not out yet, I thought I’d share a few pages here since the project called for me to use a different approach with the drawing that I’m finding a fun change. I’ll spread the word and more details about the project when the the issues start to see print!

Post-NYCC up-date

Back from the New York Comic Con, a wonderfully well-staged show. I was thrilled and inspired to meet so many fans, both old and new, who were happy to talk about the new TREKKER website, trekkercomic.com. Knowing that my labor-of-love sci-fi project strikes a chord in readers willing to look beyond the “mainstream” remains very rewarding. When I created Trekker, I knew it wasn’t a particularly “commercial” comic at the time (meaning no superheroes or skin-barring women). But I believed that if I liked it, others would as well. The trick would be getting the word out to them. And the website and going to conventions seems to be the way.

Apart from spreading the word about Trekker, I was able to spend time with some long-time friends from back in my New Jersey days, and sign, sketch and sell at my table. On top of all was hanging with my daughter, Lisa, who is something of a superhero in her own right. To wit:

Trekker Returns!

in /by


I am thrilled to announce that after a far-too-long absence, I am returning to Trekker, the series I created for Dark Horse back at the rise of the independent publishers. Today, I am launching the website trekkercomic.com, where I will be doing weekly posts of the adventures of Mercy St Clair. I will begin by posting the original stories as they first appeared and then continue on with all-new adventures. For long-time Trekker fans who are familiar with much of the existing work, I have some features on the site where I will be posting new or never-seen-before art, including some peeks at the pages of the first of the new stories that I am working on it right now.

Trekker has always remained the project closest to my heart. I feel it has always inspired my very best efforts. And based on the continuing inquiries I get about the series at every convention I attend, it seems to be my most memorable project to fans as well. I hope you’ll all check out the site, and enjoy the ride!
