A while back, Dave, Jason, Ethan and I had the pleasure of hanging out with Tom Mandrake at the Mid-Ohio con. Tom is a great guy and one of my favorite artists of all time so I was stoked that Dave somehow talked him into not only drawing the cover for the War anthology, but also writing and drawing a short story for Silent Screams, the horror anthology published by Dave and Jason’s Saddle Tramp Press (both are available in the store, by the way).

Tom was also gracious enough to let us post his story here on our site. You can find it in the Short Stories section or just follow this link.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

You may have noticed some minor changes around here lately. First, we’ve created a forum so stop by and check it out when you have a chance.

Also, Gnorm has his own site now, along with a new title for the strip. As the Grass Grows has just launched and will be updating every Monday. There were a couple of reasons for moving it to a new site. I think the format of the comics here on oddnik is better suited for long form stories with chapters or “books” that you can browse around. As the Grass Grows is going to be a more traditional “strip” style webcomic, so I think the new site will accomodate that better. I also wanted to change the look of it a little, so this gave me an opportunity to re-work the couple strips that already existed and to create a new style going forward, so let me know what you think of the new site/strip.

Last but definitely not least, we’ll be attending the Baltimore Comicon on the 27th and 28th of Sept (which is next week, yikes). I’m really looking forward to it since we haven’t been to a con in a long time. Dave, Jason and I will be there, so stop by our table and say hi if you can make it. I’ve never been to the Baltimore show even though I’ve been working in or around Baltimore for about 7 years now. Should be fun.

Hi, and welcome to our little webcomics site. We plan to do some cool stuff here, starting with reprinting the critically acclaimed HOLLIDAY series from Dave Samuelson and Jason Wright originally published by Saddle Tramp Press. The series takes real events in the Life of Doc Holliday and fills in the unexplained gaps with supernatural elements. We started it off by publishing the backup stories from HOLLIDAY #6 and #7 that looks at the relationship between Doc and Wyatt Earp. Click Here to read it now.

We’ll also be doing a regular (hopefully weekly) Gnorm the Gnome strip. You can read Gnorm’s original minicomic here, or the beginning of the new strip here.

Last but not least, we’re starting a new comic called U.N.O. that is an action/spy story about a government agency that deals with super-powered operations. You can read it here.

Thanks for taking the time to check out our site and comics and feel free to let us know what you think.
