A book-length tragicomedy (for mature audiences)
inspired by the gentrification of Times Square, HINKLEY
was originally slated for publication in Steve Bissette's compilation series
TABOO.
It was finally released in 1996 as a one-shot by the Aeon arm of MU Press.

Three strips of mine appeared in HEAVY
METAL during the eighties, and there was a series of about seven ZOE
strips for HIGH TIMES during the same period. The latter were unique
in that they were rendered in full color in gouache and magic marker.

Since 1991, I have been a regular contributor
to the ongoing
Eureka Productions paperback series, GRAPHIC CLASSICS. Adapting the stories of these classic authors has made the quality of my work grow leaps and bounds, and has been instrumental in helping me find my new style. Previews from these volumes can still be seen on this site:

The Ninja Turtles comics were an enjoyable experience; there was absolute artistic and editorial freedom, and, flush with its success, the parent company was extremely generous with its money. The first issue was written Marvel-style by Robert Loren Fleming; the second by myself. A third (the Turtles meet the Honeymooners) was completed and paid for before the Turtle bubble burst.

I tend to dislike illustrating another person's scripts,
but unless you're one of their Megastars,that's what Marvel insists you
do. Pictured below is the cover of the second Mighty Mouse story I rendered.
(The first being an 8-page strip written
& drawn for the short-lived publisher Spotlight in 1987.) The Marvel
book is partly devoted to references to Ralph Bakshi's then-current incarnation
of the character, and greatly devoted to parodying Todd McFarlane's then-current
incarnation of Spiderman. So direct a parody it was that I, not being a
True Believer, didn't understand half of what I was pencilling. (Marie
Severin inked the whole series, including a three part BatBat back-up story
I drew for subsequent issues.)
