CRABLOR & MONKEY MOD - The End?

Is this really the end? Please let Mark and I know, in the comments below, if you would like to see more of the continuing madcap adventures of CRABLOR & MONKEY MOD!

In the meantime, I'll be busy working on getting the first issue of The Monkey Mod & Friends Show finished.

See you next time!

A few years ago, my friend, Mark Rudolph and I were asked to do a comic for an anthology in which the theme was hot rods and horror. I had desperately wanted to get back to working on a new Monkey Mod comic and Mark had recently done an illustration, that I absolutely loved, of his monstrous character Crablor with Monkey Mod. So I thought... Hey! Let's just do the comic about our characters together! Crablor is a monster, so there's the horror aspect, and Monkey Mod can drive a souped up mod era sports car or something...

 Being sick of all the grim and grittiness, in comics at the time, and wanting to do something more fun and goofy than I had done with Monkey Mod Unmasked, we set out to write our story, Crablor & Monkey Mod. The resulting story didn't end up being particularly horrific or center around hot rods at all. We just wanted to tell a story that made us laugh. So we backed out of the anthology.

We got as far as getting all the pages inked and about half were even grey toned. Then the project stalled out and sat in limbo for a few years. It wasn't until recently that we decided to dust it off and finally finish it. This time in color. 

Mark and I wrote it together. He did the pencils & letters and I did the inks & colors. We've both come a long way, artistically speaking, since we first started this comic, but I still dig it. I hope you will dig it too!

The all-new MONKEY MOD & FRIENDS SHOW is coming!

I'm currently working on a new 3-4 issue story arc. As each issue is finished, I'm going to post the pages here. I'm not sure what the schedule will be just yet, but it'll probably be two pages a week per issue. I'll make each issue available for purchase for any of you who don't want to wait for the the issues to update in their entirety. That's the plan anyway...

MONKEY MOD UNMASKED -THE END!

This concludes the Monkey Mod Unmasked mini comic. I'm currently working on a new story arc that I will start posting as soon as its finished... hopefully by the beginning of Summer 2014. Fingers crossed.

The new Monkey Mod & Friends Show adventure stories will be much less introspective than this one, the character design has changed, there will be an ever growing cast of characters, its going to be way more action packed than this one, and its going to be weirder.

Here's an Easter Egg of sorts... Its the Monkey Mod gig poster. The image and pose of Monkey Mod is based on the very first character design I did of him (pictured below). The date, August 29th, is my birthday. The address 924 Gilman Street is the address of the punk rock club, The Gilman Street Project in Berkeley, CA, that was my home away from home from 1987 until I moved away in 2006.
