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!

RED & WHITE SHOW THIS WEEKEND!

Posted on September 7, 2016 by twogargs
calgaryredandwhiteSo you remember how I was saying I have two shows back-to-back in September?  Well, now there’s THREE. I will be exhibiting at the Calgary Red & White Expo this weekend on Sunday, September 11th.  Details are on the website at http://www.comicandtoy.ca/shows-list/2016/9/11/fall-comic-toy-expo ! It’s a one-day-only show, smaller and more intimate than the other Expo-type shows I exhibit at, but the great thing is that gives me more time to connect with fans and the fans, more time to browse without feeling hurried or rushed or intimidated by crowds.  It’s a real feel-good atmosphere for everyone and I always love being at this show! I’m launching some new items this month, including copies of Gloaming #2, and a special convention edition of Spectrum #1! Other new merchandise at the con will include:  Krampuspresso buttons, and a new corporate-logo button:  GARBUCKS.  That’s right, Gargoyles have taken over your local Starbucks and re-branded it.  If you like green apron coffee and supernatural creatures, you’ve simply got to stop by the Two Gargoyles table at the Expo. And hey, remember your ABC’s– you know my Superhero Groins and Superheroine Boobs posters?  Well now, I’ve made a deck of playing cards– that’s right, playing cards– all 52 guy and gal parts now adorn a deck you can play with! Also, don’t forget there will be scads of poster prints available as well as stickers and magnets!  Come on down and see– doors open at 10 a.m. and the show runs til 5!

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
