Ken Steacy runs a print on demand publishing company, (he recently brought the book "As I See" back in print) and is a fantastic comic book illustrator. Last week he put 600 of his best drawings on flickr. (as seen on drawn.ca)

God, I love Steacy's work.
I'm still hauling around copies
of Tempus Fugitive.
Excellent, excellent post.

I loved "Night and the enemy" the graphic novel he did with Harlan Ellison. This looks good.

I actually found a copy of Tempus Fugitive in a dollar bin here in Dublin. I was pretty excited as I always wondered what the story would be like as a kid but never saw the book on newstands. It's interesting that the techniques of airbrush work have not really been applied by computer-colored comics (other than the ubiquitous ugly gradient).

It is an interesting coincidence that both Ken Steacy and joelf live in Victoria, BC, and that both are artists and designers. I thought it was unkosher to promote friends' work on the front page, more or less equivalent to a self-link?

How much would it cost to commission a comic book based on a script, I wonder?
