The Eye of Mongombo (reboot) #1 is Available now!

The Eye of Mongombo was my first original comic book, and it was first published 30 years ago. It was cancelled before the story was completed (a mutual decision between me and the publisher) I had always wanted to go back to it and complete the story, but I needed to do some heavy editing to the existing material first. I didn't want to cut too much of the old gags that people liked, but needed to fix the parts that caused story problems (unresolved story elements, characters who change drastically too quickly, etc) Also, my drawing style has changed enough over the years that I knew I would have to draw the earlier chapters over again. But now I have a complete story, and have started to pull the whole thing together.

EDIT: Do NOT buy this book from Lulu.com. They redesigned their site recently and practically destroyed everything over there. I really can't tell you that you would receive a good quality book from them at this time. In the meantime, you can buy a digital copy here:

Old Comics: Turtle Boy in "Cirque de Soulmates"

This is an old story from a mini-comic titled My Freakish Love that I did back around 2005.

Some old Disney comics scripts...

From 2005-2009 I was working on Disney comics, something I hadn't done since the early 1990s. This time, though, I was able to work with the classic characters, not just the Disney Afternoon titles! At that time Disney comics were only being produced by the large publisher in Denmark, Egmont.

My body of work is pretty small compared to other Disney writers, so it's unlikely that many of my stories will ever be reprinted in the United States; but I was happy with how they turned out so I thought I would post a few of the script/roughs here. Egmont called these story layouts "scribbles".

Donald Duck in Two Angry Men

Pluto in On Duty

Magica de Spell in The High Cost of Hexing

Huey, Dewey and Louie in Ready-to-Werewolf

Darkwing Duck: "Cat in a Hot Tin Suit" revisited

 

I posted the original, printed version of this story in an earlier post...for comparisons, you can read that story here.

This "Director's Cut" restores cut sight gags and missing panels...which especially helps scenes like the one on page 15, where Fluffy hits Darkwing with rockets, and DW responds, "That's a felony, mister!" Originally, Fluffy was to blow up a mailbox with those rockets, thus committing the felony. I also tried to add better clarity to some of the existing panels where it is very hard to see what is going on (the cats' invasion of the Grocerama, for example). And there were also some little details that have always bothered me, like having Al (a normal cat) run on his hind legs on page 23.

Cat in a Hot Tin Suit originally ran in Disney Adventures #3-12 (October 1993):
