Leilah wants to be a monster hunter. She wants to do it so bad, she's pretending to be the notorious monster hunter known as The Scarred Rider in hopes she may meet the legend herself. But when her first hunt turns out to be way more dangerous than she can handle, Leilah may not live long enough to meet the Rider or, worse yet, she just might.
This post-apocalyptic monster-hunting western is written by award-winning writer Jeremy Whitley, Illustrated by Alex Smith and Jorge Santiago. Colored by Kelly Fitzpatrick and lettered by Taylor Esposito. It's the first chapter of an epic about coming of age soaked in blood and monster guts and the dangers of meeting your heroes in the dark woods while you're impersonating them.
In 2023, journalist/ writer Rory Milne contacted me to ask if I was aware that it was 50 years since my first comic strip (of sorts) appeared in print, and suggested we do an interview. I agreed, and we had a 90 minute phone chat, which barely got us started. So we went on to have 5 more long chats, Rory transcribed them, and by this time we decided we were possibly looking at a book. I began designing and laying out the book - at that time tentatively titled “50 Years Underground”. Well, I was doing this work in my downtime, so 50 years have now become 50-plus years, but the book is well on towards completion.
Our phone calls covered a lot of ground, from my earliest attempts at comix, through many years and many pages, and seemed to involve a lot of laughing. I'm including as much illustration as I can, using comix and illustrations that have not been widely seen, and the book is now pushing 210+ pages.
