![]() Before comics, what did you do? If you’re still doing it, what are you doing? ![]() Two of the big guns from mainstream works that stand out in my mind in my ability to reread their stories a lot is Peter David’s Multiple Man/X-Factor book and my all time fave, Jame’s Robinson’s Starman. This is one of those questions where we are supposed to wax poetically about the big names, legends in the industry and so forthright? Well I can agree that they all played a part in how I view, read and somewhat, write Auroraman but if I really must name influences outside of Andrew it’ll be other indie based creators – Jason Loo from Pitiful Human Lizard, Donovan Yaciuk from Spacepig Hamadeus, James Zintel on Shump, Gary Boyarski from Jack Grimm, Davis Dewsbury from Auric of the Great White North…this list could really go on and on. Well obviously first and foremost would be Andrew, I really like how his stories flow. After some consideration, I jumped in with both feet and am thrilled to be here now! Who would you say is your comic book inspiration as a writer? Then he flipped the script on me and suggested that I write the character myself instead of it just being a secondary character in his books. He really liked the main points of Auroraman and helped smooth out the pieces that needed some work. He and I talked about the character back and forth and then I took the concept to Andrew. A short time later I was presented with what would be the very early concept of Auroraman by a Facebook friend named Ted Green, who lives in Macon, Georgia. Through this, I met tons of people creating awesome books, most notably Andrew Lorenz and his book Canadian Corps. As my interest in what was happening in the mainstream superhero comics was starting to fade I really started digging into more independent comics, mainly Canadian made ones, along with the history of Canadian comic books. I have been a comics fan for most of my life, I absolutely love the medium. ![]() A real plus to the industry What was your reason for getting into comics? That is, how did you end up involved in comics?
