Since I know you’re impatient and need to get little fixes before you ingest the entire issue, check out this sweet page from Reed Gunther and the Steak Snacking Snake!

I promise the other pages with have multiple panels and things.  Enjoy!

Hey Folks!

Thanks for checking out the brand new Reed Gunther website!  Chris and I are really excited to get this first issue out and into as many of your grabby hands as possible!

If you’re ready to snag a copy of your very own, head on over to the store to place your order!

If you’re not an immediate friend or family member of either Shane or Chris, you may be saying, “Hey! Why the heck would I want to read YOUR crummy book, stranger?”

And then I’d say, “Cause it’s really good, silly!  Just check out the First Five Pages of the first issue and see for yourself!”

Thanks for reading independent comics!

If you’re sick of hearing Chris and I blabber on about our comic, listen to comicbookbin.com reviewer, Andy Frisk blabber about Reed Gunther and the Steak Snacking Snake by reading his review here!

Andy was nice enough to read through a copy of our book and wrote a fantastic, in depth review.

Many thanks to Andy and the crew over at comicbookbin.com!

Hey Folks!

Chris and I are hard at work getting the second issue ready and we thought we’d let you get a little taste for what kind of adventures await for Reed Gunther and gang.

Here’s a page I received recently from Chris. After I write the script, Chris gives it a thorough read through then sketches out thumbnails of how he sees the page laying out. Then he moves on to the rough pencil stage where he draws out all the action in full size panels. After that, Chris sends me scans of each page and we talk through individual pages, beats, and characters expressions. Most of this talk is about you, the reader, and how we can best tickle your eyeballs with fun and exciting stories and images!

After that, Chris inks the pages and we make it available to you! Unfortunately, you will have to wait until August for issue #2 to be available, so here’s a peek at a rough pencil page from Reed Gunther in a Stalac-TIGHT Spot!

Chris has a great post over at his blog about how he created his very own Reed Gunther doll for the Mezco Mez-Itz Art Show for the 2009 San Diego Comic Con.

Chris has great photos of his progress as well as some daring shots of Reed fighting a ferocious beast (my cat) in the wild, wild wilderness of the rugged Mid-West!
