I’m really excited for my 2026 in comics. ORLA! released on 21st April, but also fresh Kickstarters and direct market releases for SINK and GRAWLGORE & SHANKS on the horizon!

I guess the β€œHarris will let them be murdered slower” didn’t convince them. But at least they didn’t try anything to sway the voters otherwise.

After 22 years as a letterer, I now only have enough regular lettering work to keep me busy for 2 days per week. So if you’re staffing a new project, please keep me in mind as your letterer! Or request me via your editor! Recent clients include DC, Marvel, BOOM, Dark Horse, 2000AD, etc.
Thank you πŸ™πŸ»

That guy that got whooped by high school kids in Texas is interesting because the students essentially used active shooter drills to defend another student.

Orla Bard, looking radiant, poses for a selfie, with the series title "ORLA!" above her and credits below.

Orla and Gwyn sit facing each other at the coffee shop, Orla nervous and Gwyn happy, while The Ick looms over them, crouched on the table, holding a coffee cup that looks comically small in her massive hands. The ORLA! title is below them and Chapter 2 is written in the top corner.

The Ick is sat in a pile of innards, a severed leg in her hands, looking nervously across at the door, slightly ajar, where Gwyn - dressed in a nurse Halloween costume - is peering through. ORLA! is written up top, and on the door is written, "Chapter 3: House of Horrors."

Gwyn lies on his bed, still in the white dress and fishnet stockings of his nurse costume, the top of his leg bleeding from anxious scratching. Next to him lies a (symbolic) ravaged body in segments. ORLA! is written up top, with the credits below, and "Chapter Four: Fireworks" written across Gwyn's torso.

One thing I’ve loved about working on ORLA! is getting to enjoy @sallycantirino.bsky.social, @dearbhlala.bsky.social & @letteringbear.bsky.social (& @robutoid.bsky.social!) crafting beautiful title/credits splash pages for each issue.

(And the one we have lined up for issue #5 is another cracker!)
