"IN HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE, I PRACTICED DRAWING COMIC BOOK STORIES AND CREATED ONE THAT WAS COMPLETE IN ONLY A FEW PAGES. TIME GOES BY. I GRADUATED FROM ART CENTER COLLEGE OF DESIGN AND LANDED MY FIRST ASSIGNMENT WITH THE NEWLY STARTED COMIC BOOK PUBLISHER PACIFIC COMICS IN SAN DIEGO. IT WAS A BACK- UP STORY IN THE EDGE OF CHAOS, STARRING HERCULES. MY EARLY COMICS CREATION WAS APPROVED, BUT I COULD DO BETTER AS AN ARTIST SINCE VERSION 1.0 SO, I REDREW IT. ALLOW ME TO SHARE WITH YOU MY FIRST CREATOR-OWNED STORY, THE RESCUE. Visit adg.org/perspective to view the comic panels in full screen.
