"The World's Worst Assassin" Mini-Comic Cover

"The World's Worst Assassin"

Above, I've posted the art for the first two pages of my new mini-comic, "The World's Worst Assassin", without the lettering. You'll have to see the finished comic to read it later. I think (or at least hope...) that I have been successful in conveying the gist of the story with the images. This is something I think about when I'm creating my comics & believe that it is an important consideration to keep in mind in comic book storytelling creation.

The concept for this comic has been kicking around in my head since way before I started working on Monkey Mod. The problem with the initial concept was that I had no story to go with it. So, for almost a year, "The World's Worst Assassin" has just been a string of words I wrote down in my sketchbook. Until, like a cliche bolt of lightning, the story hit me just as I was about to fall asleep. Within a 36 hour period of writing the story, the two pages I'm sharing here were completed. I'm hoping to have this comic available for sale at APE 2009. But, since I leave for the convention in about a week, this is going to be quite a task considering all the other pressing commitments on my plate at the moment.

In closing, I want to make a point. So many artists tell me that they want to make comics or a webcomic, but they "just don't have the time". To them, I say this: If you really want to make comics, you will find the time.

Moral: You can do eet!
