Okay, so I’ve been getting a lot of feedback from reviewers telling me how much they LOVE the character of Hecubus Moriarty, the evil android criminal genius in my Earthman Jack book. I gotta admit, I’ve always loved Evil Geniuses and their Evil Geniusing (Pinky & The Brain anyone?) so I have a special sort of affinity for Heckubus. He’s a lot of fun to write. But he seems to be especially finding favor with readers of The Ghost Planet. One reviewer even calls him “inspired,” which I’m sure Heckubus would completely agree with, lol.
My illustrator, Sunny Lee, who is hard at work on the cover for the illustrated version of EJvTGP, created an awesome sketch which I think perfectly encapsulates Heckubus and what he looks like in all his evil genius glory. He and I worked very closely coming up with the final design, and I think he nailed it! This is really the Heckubus I see in my head when I write now. Check him out for yourself and let me know what you think!
