The Curated List: Crowdfunding Campaigns

The Listener: Beginnings

When did Adi’s grandfather become the original Listener? How? In this issue we delve into these very mysteries, along with who the demon was that Sani was walking with in the end of When Winds Weep.

The Listener follows Aditsan, a Native American soldier who inherits the ability to see and interact with spirits (good and evil). Listener is a title handed down from one generation to the next, but unfortunately for Adi, he didn’t believe in those things. To him as a child, his grandfather was just strange. As his grandfather passed, his father seemed to be just as strange until he lost himself in alcohol. Adi inherits the mantle in the middle of a battle between his unit and Japanese insurgents in When Winds Weep.

I invite you to join us and the many other Listeners as we continue our adventures.

Heel Turn #1 – Pro Wrestling meets Dexter!

Everybody Needs a Hobby, Right? Meet Ethan Johnson, a mild mannered individual who works as a call center rep during the week and is an independent professional wrestler on the weekends.

But what sets off Ethan to turn into a sadistic serial killer? Well Ethan was raised in an abusive family and was taught from a young age about the rage that is built up in a person.

With my history behind the scenes in professional wrestling as the former head of media for the National Wrestling Alliance, under Bruce Tharpe. My goal is to give a little behind the scenes look at the world of independent professional wrestling while keeping the mystery and suspense of a horror comic. 

The Bubba Patrol – Issue 4

The first three issues just set the stage for this final act to the first mini series. Issues one and two introduced you to the Bubbas. Issue three showed you the origin of the First Bubba, Cypress and proved that the greatest superpower a hero can have, is heart. Issue four is the first of a two part finale for the volume one mini series of the Greatest Comic Book In The World.

As some of you may know, the Bubbas are my real life family members. They have been with me through some of my lowest moments and my greatest achievements.

This comic book is the legacy I am making for them. During the creation of issue four, Foley lived a lifetime’s worth of adventure. From first donning the cape in issue 3, to having his Grandma Marilyn create him his very own Mister Woobie costume, Foley guided his little brother Grayson, on the ins and outs of being a hero.

The duo appeared in a 2021 calendar for Arizona entertainment super store, Bookmans in full superhero garb. On March 6, 2021 after more than a year long battle with cancer, Foley’s physical being transitioned from this world. He was surrounded by those who loved him. Cradled in my arms, and wearing his Mister Woobie cape, Foley made me promise I would see this project through.

Pitter Patter

Welcome to the world of two purrfect friends, Buddy and Dude, and all their furry friends. It’s Garfield meets Tom and Jerry!

Pitter Patter follows the adventures of Buddy and Dude. Two cats from different sides of the tracks.

In the first issue, we meet Dude’s new friend Dizzy who offers the cats some tasty treats. While Dude has never met a stranger, Buddy is not so sure if Dizzy is to be trusted with his tuna lickin’ good temptations. While this short story is written as good, clean fun, it gives a glimpse into the two’s differing perspectives on life and who a cat can trust.

The second issue allows us to peel the onion back a little more in Buddy and Dude’s first full length tale. Here we learn how Buddy came to live with the BDO after his time on the mean streets. While he now enjoys the spoils of being a house cat, things were not always so easy for him. Dude, being a sheltered rescue kitten, thinks that being an outside cat would be fun and is shocked to hear Buddy’s tales of life in the wild. They also teach us about their favorite game, Name-That-Sound!

If you have a cat, love a cat, know a cat, or even hate cats, this is tale for you!
