CURRENT CREATORS

Brandon J. Carr

Brandon J. Carr entered the world of webcomics with a bang in late 2001 with his surprisingly popular strip Between The Panels. Brandon followed up his grueling four-strip Between The Panels run with Crater City with Jeff Kidd in a format that allowed him to experiment with various styles and presentations. In 2004, Brandon created tangential toons in his strip Iago's Scrambled Tales for PVComics. In 2005, Brandon has brought back Between The Panels and is the artist for Chuck Morrison's Quantum.

Away from the keyboard, Brandon is a husband and father with far too little time on his hands. Brandon attempts to keep the world abreast of his ever-thrilling exploits on his oft-neglected personal site.

Phillip Chan

Born in the mythic land of Tax-Free Shopping, Phil Chan was exiled to the land called the Garden State where he and Joe Dunn forged a partnership of the ages called Digital Pimp.

Contrary to popular belief (and four years of college) Phil does not put the “Digital” in Digital Pimp nor the “Pimp.” He does, however, hear voices in his head which he occasionally commits to paper to share them with the world in the form of comics.

Logan DeAngelis

Logan DeAngelis was raised by a nomadic tribe of advertising executives in the swamps of New Jersey. Given a steady diet of silver age comics and Warner Brothers cartoons, some say it was inevitable that he eventually attempt to take over the world through sequential art. His webcomic KU-2 has been a fan favorite since its first appearance in March 2001, followed in 2002 with a glimpse at his political sword & sorcery tale Wyrms. Today he is the chief cook and bottle washer here at PV Comics as well as one of the creators making the comics, and one of the partners at ComiXpress, making print comics an option for small press and indie creators.

Logan would like to thank his loving wife and 4 small house daemons for giving him the time to make the comics he loves; their support makes it all possible — And another big shout out to Jimbo and Alice for all their love and support, wherever they are.

At any given moment Logan either has a pencil, a cup of coffee or a pint of Guinness in his hand.

Joe Dunn

Joe Dunn, from the Digital Pimp crew, is a freelance artist living in New York City. After graduating from Parsons School of Design, at the New School University, he and lifelong pal Phillip Chan decided it was high time they took over the world of comic books. Since May 2003, Digital Pimp Online has flourished with its weekly web comics (Free Lunch written and drawn by Dunn, and Matriculated which Dunn also does the art for). The Pimps have even ventured into the world of Print comics with their anthology series "Tales from the Pimp." What's in the future for Dunn and the Pimps? More of the same, but on a larger level, thanks to the PV comics family.

Irvsher Fabor

Irvsher Fabor, or "Irv" as he is so lovingly called, is a New York native who is part of the Digital Pimp Collective at PV Comics. A lifelong artist further trained in the hallowed halls of Parsons School of Design, he is an illustrator and painter who writes and draws "Fishtank Tango." This steaming cup of HOT CHOCOLATE puts the pimp in Digital Pimp!

Matt Johnson

The product of a nomadic childhood and a well-rounded liberal arts education, “dewclaw” creator Matt Johnson works as a graphic designer by day and a cartoonist whenever he has time. When he’s not working on “dewclaw”, he can be found in the company of his lovely wife or spending time with his crew of Huskies and Akitas.

In addition to working as a designer and cartoonist, Matt leads an active lifestyle based on the idea that the human body wasn't designed to sit behind a desk all day. An avid runner, Matt has been known to participate in 10K and half-marathon races, as well as the occasional marathon.

Freddy Lopez

Freddy Lopez is an illustrator living in San Antonio, Texas. He's been drawing ever since he discovered the beautiful marks his crayons left on his Mom's kitchen walls. Eventually he discovered that Comics and Role Playing Games provided the perfect outlet for his creativity. This led to work for several indie RPG & Comic companies such as the manga comic Witch Girls and more recently the online interactive horror story Dead Ends.

He joined the PV Comics team to contribute his artistic talents to a variety of projects including covers for the print volumes and promotional materials.

When's he's not busy filling the walls with crayon drawings, Freddy likes to tinker with his homemade Illudium PU-36 Space Modulator and dream of world domination...

Brian Meredith

During the day, the not-so-mild-mannered retailer known as Brian Meredith owns and operates a successful comic book store in the Seattle area called the Comic Stop (comicstoponline.com). By night, He spends most of his time toiling away at writing stories of all kinds and creating universes. He has a God Complex, but it’s a little one.

Brian is also the creator and main writer of Modern Pulp Comics (modernpulp.com), which has been a series of online comics for the last few years. Within this moderately sized universe of his, he has created many different comic serials, starring a plethora of characters, such as Sprecken, Lucifer Fawkes, The Jade Mummy, and Gibson Dent, to name but a few.

Besides Modern Pulp Comics, Brian is also working on a few other projects, such as co-writing The Mask of the Gargoyle for Rapid Comix and doing character development for Trusty Fedora Productions (trustyfedora.com). For PV Comics, Brian is writing several new creator-owned series, such as Western Pulp, Terran Divisional Navy, and Steve Lawlis.

Jay Mcleod

Jay Mcleod spent most of his life moving place to place, until he settled in New Jersey with his wife and menagerie of animals. He spends most of his free time dedicated to creating comics, and trying to teach his dog to computer color the pages he produces. Damn opposable thumbs!

After a year run on the weekly Migrayn webcomic, Jay Mcleod brings the popular main character to PV Comics. This is Jay's first company project after self publishing Migrayn in 2002.

Nate Piekos

Nate Piekos graduated from Rhode Island College in 1998 and instead of putting his graphic design degree to good use, he spent all his time playing guitar and drawing comics. He soon realized good, affordable comic fonts were hard to find, so he created a few to use in his indie book, The Whole Enchilada. On a whim, he put them online and KAPOW!!! Blambot Comic Fonts suddenly existed. Since then, Nate has become type designer to Harvey Award Winner, Mike "Madman" Allred, as well as having his designs licensed by such companies as Microsft, Sierra Software, New Yorker Magazine and The Gap.

Steven James Taylor

Steve Taylor is the creator of The Nephilum and has been studying art, and comics in general since he could hold crayons. With work starting on The Nephilum in 1999, he initially created the story to hone his craft. Wanting to get the story out there, he started publishing online in 2000. Four years later and The Nephilum includes three thirty page books now available at PVComics. Steve Taylor is currently pursuing a Fine Arts Degree from Massachusetts College of Art.

PV COMICS ALUMNI

D.J. Coffman

D.J. Coffman brings Yirmumah to PV Comics. No, not the mother that loved and raised you, we're talking the mother of all comics here. Well, at least to some people ... Yirmumah was an underground mini comic that D.J. did in the Pittsburgh area in the 90's. Yirmumah was created after a couple years worth of frustration trying to "Break In" the comics business. The idea was simply, Kick the industry door in, give everyone the finger and leave. That was Yirmumah the comic. After attending some comic shows with said book, more and more jobs and publishing deals came his way. To this day D.J. is pretty busy drawing for other people, but has always felt like he's neglected his bastard-child-like comics. Now, with the aid of evil technology, probably sent from the future to destroy us all, Mr. Coffman gladly gives more of his time to entertain readers via the web. You can keep up on the latest Yirmumah news at yirmumah.net or DJ's other projects at djcoffman.com

Bob Corona

Athlete, scholar, entrepreneur, statesman -- these are some of the many career options Bob Corona passed up in order to pursue a lifelong passion for the comical arts. That passion has found expression in print for major and independent publishers around the World, such as DC Vertigo and Digital Webbing in the States, Aardvark-Vanaheim in Canada, Egmont Fleetway and Deadline Ltd in the UK, and Antipodes Publishing in New Zealand.

Since 2001, Bob has been producing online comics including collaborations with Modern Pulp's Brian Meredith and Steven (Critical Thinking, Crackles of Speech) Withrow. His ongoing comic strip series Welcome to Heck is an attempt to marry the highest levels of comic craft with an unapologetically uplifting brand of humour. New episodes of Welcome to Heck now appear exclusively at PVComics.com, with Volume 1 also available in archive form at KomikWerks.com.

A non-native New Zealander since 1997, Bob lives in the city of Dunedin with his beautiful wife Ailsa, daughter Jeannie and baby son Paolo.

Amy Kim Ganter

Amy Kim Ganter is the author and artist of "Amy's Suitcase" and the epic series "Reman Mythology". She loves to make comics, and she loves to make people feel better with her stories. She also loves citron tea.

Dan Larson

Born and raised in a military family, Dan learned early on what it meant to rely on the companionship and confidence of his imaginary friends. After graduating from college in the small New England city of Providence, Dan went on to bang his head against the wall known as "life" for 2 to 3 solid years before beginning his self-publishing empire which now spans over one and a half drawing desks in his small Manchester, New Hampshire apartment.

By day Dan is a partner in a New Hampshire based custom picture framing company. The things he can do with custom matting and good underpinner will make your head spin. Follow his framing exploits or help grow the framing industry over at Iris Custom Framing.

To find out more about the projects that Dan has in store for this little, lonely sphere called Earth, go to circlecomics, or just keep watching COPS, he's bound to turn up sooner or later.

Bob McDeavitt

Bob McDeavitt is the almost inhumanly genius writer of the single greatest comic creation EVER made, "Yirmumah". Working with D.J. Coffman on "Yirmumah", Bob has also been the writer extradonaire alongside Coffman with the other well known comic titles such as the syndicated daily strip "Gravity", "Space Ape", and the graphic novel, "Zombieopolis". Bob has also dabbled in childrens novels and other random rantings throughout the creative spectrum.

When not creating works of comedic genius Bob can be found competing in marathons and weightlifting contests throughout the tri-state area. Okay. I just lied. Bob can be found on the nearest couch. Snoring. Forgive me.

James Patrick

James Patrick is a writer. It’s that simple.

However, how and how he writes what would be a neurotic, tangled mass which would be impossible to unravel.

What James has written is a little simpler. In 2000 there was Crackurz #1 to much praise and critical success, which was followed by a brief stint at Kevin Smith’s Movie Poop Shoot and the strip Soda, which didn’t get much recognition unless women were calling him a sexist or Christian groups were calling him insensitive. There was a nomination for an online cartooning award, but James doesn’t like to brag. It was a national cartooning award. There are some columns to his credit at Comic Book Galaxy, Grayhaven, Sequential Tart and Pop Image, some more strips, one about Mark Waid and Bill Jemas and which got so much traffic it crashed a website. James just finished doing backups for the critically acclaimed, much-buzzed Hero Happy Hour comic – including the Super Special. He currently has turned his attention to print comics and is putting out Lionxor bimonthly with PV Comics, and, as of October 2004, is writing two series (one is Eclipse and Vega: Sophomore Seasons) in a work-for-hire capacity, and is developing too many projects to mention. A couple with some prominent companies. Though he doesn’t like to brag. Crackurz Comics #1 and issues of Lionxor can be found at comixpress.com, archives of Soda can be found at Moviepoopshoot.com, and upcoming projects, news and free content can be found at crackurz.com

When he’s not writing comics, James is juggling his twins (one-handed) and not bragging to his wife about how great he is.

Oh, and did I mention he’ll be writing a television show come winter?

Jon Plante

A self-professed skeptic, believer and hypocrite, Jon Plante entered the online comic scene on January 1st, 2001. His madman manifesto, "Two-Headed Tales," soon wooed an audience in the 10s with mysterious tales of irony mixed with bad science.

Last year Jon was arrested for the attempted murder of a reptilian shapeshifter masquerading as a bear at the Columbus Zoo. He's currently out on bail.

But all of this is sadly a lie. Jon Plante died on December 31st, 2000. His comics are made by his ghost.

Stuart Robertson

Stuart Robertson is a web designer living in Ontario, Canada with his lovely wife and house full of pets. Stuart joined the PV Comics team to help with the website and back-end systems. When not tinkering with pixels and code, he likes to dabble in illustration and painting.

Stuart has written articles on Web Design for A List Apart magazine, Netscape DevEdge, and Webreference.com. His work is featured in the book "Speed Up Your Site: Web Site Optimization" by Andy King.

Tom Stackpole

Residing in a remote region of Massachusetts, Tom Stackpole does what he can, always staying one step ahead of the law. He wonders what the future will bring, and expects to be surprised.

In the meantime, Tom Stackpole is the creator of The Bone Dancer, an ongoing tale which recounts the exciting, humourous, and mundane existence of an aspiring necromancer and his zombie.

Tom Stackpole draws his passion for storytelling from a conviction that the real world isn't quite good enough, or at least, could use some better pacing.
