I started professional work in 1991 with my full-page cartoon feature "The Adventures of Bumpkin Buzz" in the Comics Buyer's Guide. By 1996, I was also working with Wizard Entertainment on their superhero calendar poster series and have since worked with Wizard on a number of humor pieces, scavenger hunt puzzles, and contributed to their other publications, including Inquest Gamer, Toyfare, Sci Fi Invasion and a variety of special editions. I am currently fortunate enough to be working with Randall Kirby, a brilliantly talented and hilariously funny writer/cartoonist from Oregon, on his four-issue Adventure-Humor creation Disco Ninja. More fun cannot be had. My greatest love is superhero comics, and I must admit I'm growing a bit weary of the revolving door editorial staffing at the Big Two and am becoming winded trying to keep up with which trends are in vogue so my latest pitches can appeal to whomever's in charge at the moment. Thus, I've  [More...]

Hushicho (sometimes known as P. Roberts) got his start as an editor for romance novels and went from there to freelance authorship with literary celebrity interviews and short fiction, mainly in the science-fiction category. An artist from the start, he began to cultivate a style suited to sequential art while working as an assistant to a professional American comic artist (an inker, specifically) and then subsequently developed more during his investigation and work with other creators the world over, including Europe and Japan. After several years of comics updated multiple times weekly on a number of websites, as well as aesthetic web design, he decided to take steps outside his usual comfort zone and worked on solo comics on other sites and in print, effectively taking every production role upon himself for the projects. Not just comics but also novels, including the wide-distribution novel Shirayuri, were released, and his newly-founded studio Hushicho Pro released an art  [More...]

I've been a comic book fan since seventh grade. I became a comic book creator by accident. I spent 10 years acting in New York City. I studied with the great Fred Kareman, and I worked quite a bit. I even wrote, produced, and starred in a one man show, Up, Up & Away!, based on my lifelong passion for comics. As an actor, I almost always had a side job to make ends meet. A few years ago, I ended up bartending in a local gay bar. By this writing, I have bartended in several gay bars. These days, I do occasional voice-over acting, but most of my creative energy goes to my comic strip, From The Cellar. Inspired by my front seat view of New York City Gay Nightlife, I created From The Cellar on a whim. It kinda took over from there. Many talented artists have participated, and I can't wait to publish it as a Graphic Novel when it's finished. From The Cellar's mix of fiction and fact baffles even me, so I find it hard to describe my comic; but I'm very proud  [More...]
