I’m thrilled to return to comics, with inker and co-host Kurt Brugel, livestreaming the creation of our sci-fi comic Turbo Pit-Fighter every Sunday at 10am EST on the Making Turbo Pit-Fighter Youtube channel. What’s different about us? We pencil and ink live in split-screen as we discuss all aspects of the comic from the plot, to world-building, dialog and lettering as well as the influences, art techniques and comic culture from the perspective of two art teachers. Basically, it’s a comic being made on a podcast!

But wait, there’s more. In 2024 we launched the DoomMags Substack for fans of sci-fi writing. The posts comprise a mind-map of the Turbo prequel world, a society clearly in decline as conflicts of the future intensify, delving into the future of quantum mechanics and anomalous scientific discoveries, a conflict between multi-trillionaire fascists and a resistance led by scientists who enhance a super-squadron of females. The The End of The World Timeline starts with the advent of pleasure-bots reshaping human relations which leads inevitably to all-out gender war, corporate takeover of USGOV, the rise of the Twosday cults and ultimately the unprecedented devastation of the megapocalypse!

All of this and more is covered in our weekly Making Turbo Pit-Fighter podcast, diving into the storylines and characters. But read on, there’s more…

The second Turbo Teaser comic is now available, a 16 page mag format compiling the first 12 pages of Turbo Pit-Fighter with bonus material.

Copies $3 plus shipping for printed edition (less than 10 left!)
$3 for digital PDF at kurtbrugel.com

LOVE COMIC ART? Making comics requires inspiration, so we also regularly tape episodes of COMICS THAT INFLUENCE, where we flip-through comics, admiring the books that shape our own storytelling and bring back memories. Whether it’s a classic artist, a rare indie gem or a recent haul, we connect the rich history of comic art to our work and other influences. But wait, there’s more…

In our INDIE CREATOR EXCHANGE series, Kurt and I interview the coolest indie creators, reviewers, retailers and collaborators to learn and exchange ideas about the biz. Check out the past episodes and check back often – each week we post a new episode of either the Indie Creator Exchange, or Comics That Influence, so you can’t lose! Creators interested in appearing in an episode can fill out this form.

Thanks for the visit and finally, stay in touch on the socials!
