A Rainbow Of Fun Comics!

Comic Tracts

You’ve probably seen those little religious tracts that people leave in public spaces, hoping to ensnare your soul for the purposes of saving it.  We decided that was a pretty good idea– only not with religion, but with comics and […]

Diaperman

A fun superhero-parody comic set in a world where all the heroes and villains are really just closet fetishists—only they don’t realize it, leading to hilarious battles on the streets of Megopolis! Lighthearted, ridiculous and joyful! If you liked The […]

Gloaming

A creepy horror comic about a journalist who comes to a small town looking for a world-famous rock star that never existed, and stumbles on even deeper, weirder secrets. Spooky, creepy and dark. If you liked House Of Mystery, you’ll […]

In The Wings

Lean, mean and behind the scenes! The meta adventures of the Two Gargoyles Comics characters (and creators) getting real in the break room.

Spectrum

An LGBT-themed comic about a young man who is ready to come out as being gay—and gets superpowers at the same time, adding more complications to his journey of self-discovery. If you liked Young Heroes in Love you’ll like Spectrum!

The Magickal Mister Punch

Adrian Whitingham discovers a mysterious key which unlocks his future—a future filled with wizards, magic, strange new worlds and beings from beyond! If you liked Books of Magic, you’ll love Mister Punch!

Thunder

A young man returns to Canada after a youth spent in mythic Asgard; Devon Wells steps on the path to becoming a hero as Thunder! Fun, adventurous, humorous and sensitive! If you liked Invincible, you’ll love Thunder!

Twilight Detective Agency

Ostracized from their people, gargoyles Hawkstone and Riverdale have become part of humanity as best they know how: by setting up a detective agency that never meets its clients, never shows its face, and never fails to solve a case.

Xanthus

An alien energy being fuses its essence with a despairing man named Sean Preston and together they attempt to return joy to the world. Reflective and hopeful. If you liked Superman, you’ll love Xanthus!

Spectrum01banner I’ve made a promise to myself that I will now begin to make posts every Wednesday, to connect with my readers and keep you all abreast on what’s happening in the Twogargs world! The indie comics world (at least for Twogargs) is never static; there’s always something going on!  Books are being either written, drawn, inked, colored or lettered before being published; merchandise is being created and produced in an effort to subsidize the aforementioned books; conventions are being attended to promote the books and the brand: fighting for that all-important recognition in a sea of talent and creativity. It’s a rush.  There’s really no other way to put it.  Each time something gets completed, I feel like an actor who’s rehearsed for weeks, finally getting that two minutes of applause at the end of that night’s show: it makes it all worth it. I have two “current” books:  The second issue of my horror comic, Gloaming, is complete and indeed is available to read online (one new page per week) on the site:  https://twogargs.com/comic/gloaming-2-page-01/ to start at the beginning.  (If you haven’t yet read the first issue, then start at https://twogargs.com/comic/gloaming-1-01/ ) The second is Spectrum, an LGBT teen superhero comic.  I wanted to debut this at Pride-Con this year but a) the con was cancelled and b) I couldn’t get it coloured in time.  What I did do is create a special “convention preview” issue, all in black and white, to introduce folks to the comic while waiting for the colour version to come out. Those black and white issues are only available from me at conventions; once the colouring (done by the fabulous Gav Heryng — https://twitter.com/GavHeryng) is done, I will begin to publish the pages here on the site just as I do for all my other comics. However, my Patrons get to see a sneak preview of the comic!  If you haven’t considered supporting indie comics before, this would be a great way to start– for as little as a dollar a month you can see the first three pages of the comic, plus more in-progress behind-the-scenes stuff every month!

Two Shows in September!

Posted on August 22, 2016 by twogargs
Hey, Gargeteers! Are you ready for September?  Back to School, a flurry of activity–and no less so for Two Gargoyles, as we will be at TWO shows, back-to-back, in September! Saskatoon Expo logo Firstly, on September 17-18, Kyle Burles and I will both be at Saskatoon Expo for the very first time!  It’s always exciting to try a new show, meet new people, and exhibit our work for a new audience!  Looking forward to seeing what Saskatoon has to offer!  Look for Two Gargoyles at Table 1215 in Artist’s Alley! Edmonton Expo logo Then, the very next weekend, Jeremy Thew joins me at my table for Edmonton Expo!  Our friends Kyle, Lisa, Mike and Sara are all heading up to Artist’s Alley — Two Gargoyles will be at table F10!  Our friends are all a bit spread out this year, but that means you get to have more fun exploring the Alley to find them all! September promises to be a very exciting month with these two shows so close to one another; it may be tiring but it definitely promises to be exciting as well!  And with two fabulous opportunities such as these, I sure hope to see you in September!

PRIDE-CON CANCELLED!

Posted on July 21, 2016 by twogargs
PrideconH-RGB-300x101 Imagine my surprise, dear readers, as I went through my checklist of preparations for Pride-Con next week, went to their website to confirm some details, and found this letter detailing their sudden, last-minute cancellation. On the one hand, I’m crushed.  Pride-Con looked like it might be a worthy successor to Bent-Con, another LGBT+ comics convention in the Southern California area, and after losing Bent-Con I was more than happy to sign up for a con that might replace it. Too, it was encouraging and promising that the convention was using IndieGoGo to finance itself– it seemed marvelous that it had received all the funding it needed. But it didn’t. I was under the impression that it had, and that’s why there was a Pride-Con at all, but it turns out the reason it was cancelled was because it didn’t reach its IndieGoGo funding goal ONE WEEK BEFORE THE SHOW. Which brings me to the other hand– where, instead of feeling crushed, I feel pissed off. It’s incredible to me that the show’s organizers, H8 M3 NOT Enterprises, did not schedule the go/no-go cutoff for funding two or three months before the show.  To hold out til the last minute is not only unprofessional, but downright disrespectful to con-goers and exhibitors alike. Hotel reservations.  Plane tickets.  Time off work.  Child care.  All of these are factors and expenses that go into getting ready for a convention and some of them are non-refundable, or have non-refundable deposits. And then, of course, H8 M3 NOT apologizes that it ‘cannot offer refunds.’  Well, I paid for my table and membership thru PayPal, so you better believe I’ve opened a dispute. It is frustrating that a convention such as this one, with such an important theme of diversity, should be so mismanaged.  As frustrated as I am, my heart goes out to all those who were looking forward to sharing a weekend of inclusivity and fun, enjoying what artists had to offer as well as meeting social media celebrities who increase, with their online presence, knowledge and visibility for us all. Needless to say, you won’t be seeing Two Gargoyles Comics in Anaheim on the 29th. Regretfully, Michael

JULY UPDATE!

Posted on July 12, 2016 by twogargs
lilthunderconstructExciting news from the office of Two Gargoyles! Thanks to your support, I’m working on a new webcomic series to debut soon here on the twogargs.com website.  The working title is “Lil’ Wings Playschool,” and it’s meant to be an all-ages accessible comic for the whole family. One of the things I enjoy most about being a writer is the ability to dip into different genres; to be able to write horror, parody, superheroes, slice-of-life as well as family fare.  I guess you could say I adore versatility, and am always striving to challenge myself to ensure I can maintain that! Two Gargoyles will be attending Pride-Con in Anaheim on the weekend of July 29th; I’ll be debuting Spectrum #1, our LGBT superhero comic there.  I’m very excited about it!  It will also be the convention debut of Gloaming #2, thanks to some last-minute printing miracles by the good folks at Ka-Blam. PrideconH-RGB-300x101As I said, I love writing many and varied genres of story; but in order to make them into comics, I need to hire artists and that takes funding– which is where you, my generous fans, come in. Thanks to Patreon, I’m able to offer you the opportunity to subsidize independent creativity in comics by helping me get my creations out to you, the readers.  $1.00 a month is enough to get you “behind the curtain” to see all the upcoming events before they’re published on the site, and larger donations earn you rewards!  But the biggest reward of all is knowing that you’re directly feeding the independent creative market– helping the little guy. The Two Gargoyles Patreon is available at https://www.patreon.com/twogargs . Please take a moment to donate, and share the news with friends.  Even friends that don’t normally read comics might enjoy reading something non-mainstream, something that concerns itself with storytelling more than, say, toy sales. And don’t forget– there are new comic pages every week on Twogargs.com — Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday! In gratitude, Michael
