The first of my cosmic horror novels
For the first of my cosmic horror novels, I originally intended to include over 30 drawings, but I ultimately opted for far fewer since the full splash pages took considerable time to illustrate. I increasingly perceived the work as a novel, rather than merely a text-heavy graphic novel. One initial drawing depicting an alien ship in a bunker is a remnant from the graphic novel version I pitched to DC Comics in 1998. I am running a crowdfunding campaign to help market my whole cosmic horror series-you can check that out here

Cover for my new anthology
I’m debating which of these two paintings to use as the back cover for my new anthology. The first one was used as the cover for an obscure indie magazine in 2014, the other was never used.
The smaller image on the bottom will be the front cover.
Opinions?
Keep up with the progress here.

possible alternatives for the new Dan henk anthology “The Joke is on Mankind”.

My new podcast with Adan Smale
Former NASA engineer turned writer is featured in my new podcast with Alan Smale. In it, he discusses his alternative history books and current sci-fi series.
What if the Roman empire never faded and instead made it to North America with the help of the Norse? What if the chief Russian scientist behind their space program never died, they made it to the moon at the same time we did, and war broke out? Alan Smale talks about just that Russia vs. the US topic!
It’s great that he not only has a hard science background, and a long history in publishing but also that he does extensive research in every new subject he delves into; Check out his work on his website.
