“QUASAR BLASTERS” is the daily newspaper comic strip I drew for the Brown Daily Herald (Providence, RI) in the 1990s. It was the first serious long-term comics project I ever completed, and I learned SOOOOO MUCH over three years of nightly deadlines…
ON THE DRAWING BOARD:
I’m scanning all the old pages & putting together a COMPLETE QUASAR BLASTERS VOL. 1 book! It’ll include ALL the original strips, plus some new artwork, & notes on what I learned in the process of drawing my first long-format comics series… Check the PATREON for updates →
