As a writer, I sometimes feel left out of art-stuff that has to do with comics– so I decided to do this year’s “Art Vs. Artist” with the characters I wrote! Art is by Jeremy Thew, Kyle Burles, Mark Marvida and Zazo Aguiar.

Artner-in-crime Kyle Burles and I canvassed all across Calgary to get our books into stores last week, and I will now share with you the stores that carry them!
But first, for you DIGITAL enthusiasts, all digital versions of our comics are currently available through IndyPlanet.com at: http://www.indyplanet.us/?s=Michael+McAdam — But look for an announcement about that coming soon!

Chris the owner is often talked about as being a great friend to the local creators. I found this to be true!
