1941 the movie adaptation with Steve Bissette
The One limited series from Epic (and available in a King Hell Press edition)
Abraxas and the Earthman more Epic work now available in a King Hell Press edition
Further miscellaneous stories for Epic Illustrated
Swamp Thing as artist for Alan Moore and later as writer/artist, and by the end writer with others drawing.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The River probably not available anywhere any more.
Bratpack miniseries/graphic novel and one of the greatest revisionist superhero comics ever, the troubles of kid sidekicks (and available in a King Hell yadda yadda yadda)
Maximortal continuing the revisionism with an examination of the Superman icon, this series was collected in graphic novel form (available in a King Hell Press edition) and was supposed to have been followed up with further series, bridged by the two issues of Bratpack/Maximortal, but other problems derailed these plans.
Rare Bit Fiends, dream comics and Veitch's 'dream' project.
The Question A limited series starring Steve Ditko's philosophical superhero character
Aquaman giving this character another series.
(as artist) Supreme with writer Alan Moore, a thinly-veiled Superman rip-off that's more fun than Superman has been in decades and more meangful than he's ever been.
1963 A likewise fun Marvel rip-off from the earliest days of Image.
Greyshirt A likewise fun Spirit rip-off in Tomorrow Stories from ABC comics.
Greyshirt: the miniseries as writer/artist, exploring themes introduced in the series.

Well, for a top-of-my-head list, that's not too bad. I know I missed some stuff (like drawing Sgt. Rock stories while a student at the Joe Kubert School, or Heartburst) but on the whole that's pretty good.

My whole life is passing before my eyes!

Chris left out one major project; Teknophage with Brian Talbot at Tekno Comics.

Abraxas and the Earthman will be solicited in the July Previews for September ship in a full color King Hell edition. If all goes well it will be followed in 2007 with a companion volume of the other Epic work, probably including Heartburst.

Hey, you forgot CY-GOR and CABOT: BLOOD HUNTER!!!

There was one issue of CABOT, which was followed by a back-up or two in SUPREME, and then it disappeared. I liked what I saw of it. Had a cool story and great art.

CY-GOR was never given the chance to see its full potential. There were elements of both SWAMP THING and GREYSHIRT in there, but was tied a little too tightly to Spawn-tinuity to really take off. I loved the story of the homicidal performance artist (and the one with the guy drivin' around with a car-full of dead bodies too).

Well, since I seem to have access to a man who is where I want to be, and has been where I am,
; Mr. Veitch how do I break into writing comic books? Who could I submit writings to that might look at my work, and actually consider hiring an unknown?

Scott,

Well, I waaaas going to say, "Non, please meet Sequitor," but then I decided against it.

--------------------

Rick,

To hear that Heartburst will probably be reprinted in full color is wonderful. I may still try to track down the original graphic novel edition, tho, since I already have all the material from Epic Illustrated, and because of the issue of dimensions. If I recall correctly, Marvel/Epic graphic novels were printed at slightly different dimensions than Epic Illustrated, which, itself, of course, was printed larger than the regalah comic book.

Do you know what size at which the companion book will be printed?

Matthew

Matthew, the store I got my copy at had a couple extra, if you need to be hooked up.

I have heard NON SEQUITUR before,but have never looked it up before... and I still don't understand. Do you mean my assumption that Mr. Veitch would respond was non sequitur? Or did you mean that my assumption that I chased everyone away with my newbie question was a NON SEQUITUR? If I didn't chase EVERYONE away that's great, otherwise I am embarrassed.

Chris,

Oh, HAY-YELL, thanx! I've got to go to my shop to get my newphew a graduation present. I hope to do that this holiday weekend. If it's not there, then I'll contact you? Thanx again!

---------------------

Scott,

Your appeal to Mr. Veitch on the 25th, while hardly a major crime or anything, just seemed like a jarring turn in the thread. At least to me. It was very out of the blue.

Matthew
