That's because James O'Barr did the artwork for it.

James is an interesting guy. He was really stoked for the first movie, and when Brandon Lee died, I think that ate away at him. He eventually came out of it though. I haven't seen him in many years.

Thats an interesting life you lead. I have to admit when i first saw 'Anarchy Press' in my watch list, i thought it was a play on the real thing. Nice to know that there are real people out there. I have admired the work anarchy press has done for several years, the selection of artists and the quality of the product. I'm still a little dazed.

You're very kind.
To my mind, I haven't been particularly interesting in a long awhile. It's nice to be creative again.

Its strange, I recall reading your work throughout the nineties, so maybe i have good memories for a reason.

So. Amazing. Guh! :drools:
Are you still in contact with O'Barr? Tell him he's amazing from me? xD

It made a killer shirt. I sold a lot of them at conventions.
I haven't spoken with James in probably close to 10 years. Sorry.

So. Was that a cover for a real book that you published?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, years ago. (I also used James's drawing for the back cover for the regular edition of Necromancer #2.) Back in the day, I wrote and published comic books. I also wrote comics stories for other publishers. If you look at my page, I have a lot of samples of my published comics work. "Lifeblood," for example, was published in Heavy Metal magazine. Most of the other work I've posted so far was published in a book called Glyph. Sadly, it died. I haven't posted any of my self-published work yet.

Well you should. You should also tell me where I can get my hands on Glyph. Graphic novels are losing their integrity since Manga hit the states. When I find work that actually means something, I want to collect it

I don't know where you would find Glyph these days. It didn't last long.
My self-published work had its moments, but for the most part, the stuff I'm posting here was better. I will post some select bits though.
And thanks again.
