Colossus is here




Welcome to my first Blog. That's right I am totally new to this. Anyway enough of the editorial, this blog is to commemorate the publishing of my graphic novel COLOSSUS. There may be fans out there who already have the book first published way back in 2000. But this is a new and improved COLOSSUS, filled with 100 more pages of story and a whole new gallery section by some of the best artists you have never heard of.

I will be at the San Deigo Comicon this summer with th erest of my compadres E-ville press. We'll have a booth and if you find us you will also find yourself ready to buy COLOSSUS, a COLOSSUS T-shirt and also original COLOSSUS artwork ( from the first book, the COLOSSUS redux was entirely created on the computer.) Anyway enough talking posted below are some sample pgs to wet your appitite. Feel free to comment and or contact me.

Mark, this looks great!

Dragons, medieval settings, and a sweet looking character with kick ass combat moves/weapons ... all the makings for an exciting comic adventure.

Hmm.. something tells me there's room for a future "Tales of Colossus" video game :-)

Looks great Mark!
I am using a Wacom Cintiq now and threw out all my paper and pencils.

The first Colossus was published by Scott Morse through Crazyfish I believe.

OMG this looks fantastic. I am absolutely sold.

The only thing though, is the dialogue balloons. They don't look very professional. Otherwise, PHENOMENAL.

dryponder-thanks for the comment, and yaknow Im not a professional, and I aint trying to be. Just havin fun and sharing with the rest of the world. Besides, for me, my time goes into the image more than the ballons. Ballons are a nessecery evil.


Mbiv- I tip my titanic hat to you. Thanks for the comment



venam1- again thanks for the comment. I'll keep my fingers crossed..... NOT!

Mush-- thanks for the comments. get me an address and I can get you a book. or ( and this goes for everyone overseas or elsewhere in the states) I will be getting a link set up so you can purchase Colossus on line. So keep checking the blog for updates.


Shine- thanks for the reports I will check them out. Comicon was wild, although a little underwhelming. Me and the E-ville guys had a good flow at our tables but nothing overwhelming or crazy like I had anticipated. We sold well though. As for continuing to make more comics????? If theres a story buring a hole in my pocket I will.

Paulsketch---- Thanks. If you'd like a copy Im selling them on line if you got a paypal account.



David Maas----- Like I mentioned to Paul above, you can get one on line- just click on the button fill out the form make a paypal account and voila' your very own copy. I am currently looking into distributers but you may have to wait awhile to see it show up in Europe!


Mandrews out!
