Something that occurred me recently is how much of my work has never been published. There are film scripts, as well as comics I’ve written for this or that company in the past that for no fault of theirs or mine, never saw the light of day. (Well, actually it was sometimes their fault.)
“So why not use this site to show some of them?” I thought. Indeed, why not. Film scripts are easy.

This original version of League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is something I remain proud of. As you’ll see it’s almost totally different from the film that made it to the screen. At the time I was given this as a writing assignment, I confess that I questioned making it into a big...

I found this the other day. I'd forgotten all about it before now, which is slightly surprising considering I did a good bit of (unpaid) work on the project. I have no idea if the Suicide Girls website is big or small nowadays, but there was a time when it was very much up and...
Definitely a "what might have been"...
I could go down the rabbit hole of bitching, moaning and criticizing the way things were handled during the New52 era at DC Comics, at least pertaining to me and how I was treated. But DC has moved on, the people in charge there at the time are gone, and the books seem more...
