I can't announce the title or publisher or anything about it until they tell me I can. But it can't hurt to show one crazy page out of context for a story I'm not describing!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also -- &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;3 Story: The Secret History of Giant Man&lt;/span&gt; is available now for pre-order &lt;a href="http://tinyurl.com/3story"&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition to the full length graphic novel I'm doing two short stories that will appear in July and August on Dark Horse's myspace comics page. I've already written them both and inked the first one and started to paint it. Here are a few panels from the first story...this is what my original art looks like before I letter it and clean it up or add the background old-papery effects that I used on &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Super Spy&lt;/span&gt; and parts of &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;3 Story&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;And finally...I did a short comic strip for a friend of mine that does a weekly strip called SubCulture.
