6 Questions with Mark Stokes Creator of Zombie Boy Comics

by

Mark Stokes is an exceptional individual who created one of my favorite web comics, Misoprostol no prescription with mastercard Zombie Boy. Originally, Mark created cytotec online purchase Zombie Boy in 1987 in comic book form. Take a look at his website to see the difference between Zombie Boy then and now. This comic mixes the supernatural world and comedy seamlessly. I’ve never been a fan of voodoo-related stories but Mark has a way about writing that brings me back every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. His unique art style and cast are memorable, to say the least. His comic overall has a touch of old school comic strip class that lacks in our comic and most others today. Mark was also classy enough to include a bonus image of the Gentlemen and Zombie Boy as the JSA, take a look at the end of this interview!

The OG: Zombie Boy started out as an indie black and white comic book in the 90s. What made you decide to move Zombie Boy into web comics?

Mark Stokes: This year marks the 25th anniversary of the character Zombie Boy, I self-published my first book back in 1987. My next book, Zombie Boy’s
Hoodoo Tales #1 came out in 1989, then I did Zombie Boy Rises Again in
1994 and finally had a one-shot Zombie Boy issue published by Antarctic
Press back in 1996. After years on hiatus, not drawing or even thinking
about him, I began to notice all these other Zombie Boys popping up all
over the web. There’s this guy in Canada that is tattooed up all over his
body who goes by the name Zombie Boy and about a half dozen comic books
with that title. I figured I wanted to take the name and character back,
so I revived him once again as a webcomic. I wanted people to know the
original Zombie Boy.

Dragon Ball Revisited: The Goku Saga

by

When I was in grade school, you were either into Pokemon, Digimon or Dragon Ball Z. I was one of those kids that were into all three, but when it came time to choose sides, it was always Dragon Ball Z. My eldest brother, James, introduced it to me via VHS cassettes that we would watch together. Shortly after, I discovered Toonami, and I became hooked. There was something in Dragon Ball Z that just captivated me and thousands of other kids; some sort of magic that can’t really be explained and maybe shouldn’t. All we knew was that Dragon Ball Z was awesome and that it always would be. There was something odd, though, something that most kids my age didn’t know. Where on Earth did Dragon Ball Z come from?

6 Questions with George Ford Creator of Addanac City

by

Addanac City is a daily comic that I have always admired. George has hit over 1,000 strips creating 5 comics a week, which is something we could never do. If we’re lucky, we’ll get to 300. Addanac City contains a huge cast of characters that George uses to serve each strip’s purposes. In some strange way, my character even exists in their world due to a guest strip that he did for us awhile back. With this variety, George is able to make Addanac City a different comic each day or week. George’s work ethic is one to be admired and is admired by many other web cartoonists.

The OG: You’ve been drawing since you were 3 years old and eventually went on to do comics for your local newspaper. What do you like about publishing your own comics versus being published in someone else’s paper?

George: I love the creative freedom of publishing my own stuff. I don’t have anyone leaning over my shoulder making suggestions that are irrelevant, inconsequential, or just downright unnecessary to me.
