Welcome to Camden's Comics

Comic books have always been my first love.

Camden's Comics began in 2013 because I love making comics. I love talking about them, I love teaching them, and they generally make me very happy. I hope to share this passion for comics with everyone. It is my sincere hope that you not only enjoy THE BOLT and/or ANOMALY but that you feel inspired to create something of your own.

Welcome to Camden's Comics. Thanks for being here.

And now that Skull Boy #1 is released to the world… it’s time to get back to The Bolt!

Chimera is the ultimate villain of the Boltverse and the focus of issue 12. I’m fascinated with cults and why people would ever willingly subject themselves to it. Chimera is a master manipulator who dwells in the shadows and has others fight for him. He’s a cult leader who approaches you at your most vulnerable and offers you a chance at real power. The power comes from a serum, of which he alone controls the production and distribution. As long as you remain loyal to his cause, you can continue to have power. From the dregs of society, Chimera has fashioned an army, willing to help him take control of Camden!

Skull Boy is now available on www.camdenscomics.com

Thanks to everyone who already picked up a copy. I’m so glad everyone has embraced this little guy. It means the world to the 5th grader in me.

Introducing Gentleman T-Rex! Devilish and stylish, this Tyrannosaurus Rex just wants to restore dinosaurs to the top of the food chain, never mind that extinction business.

Introducing Mayor Stone! As an elected official, it’s his job to take care of the city and he does so by RELYING HEAVILY on Skull Boy!

Now I know what you’re thinking and the answer is no. Because Mayor Stone is neither cruel nor malicious. He’s just incredibly dumb.

Meet Cheekers, the dutiful lackey of Evil Squirrel! He’s so eager to help his maniacal boss, you could almost mistake him for a go’fer!

Introducing Evil Squirrel, Skull Boy’s archnemesis. This diabolical critter is determined to rule the world, but first, he has to rid himself of that infernal Skull Boy!

And here he is, the eponymous hero (that just means the book is named after him) and the first in my series of character bios.

Skull Boy is the ultimate good guy. Some might say the good-est guy.

Wake up, squad. I’ve made another comic.
I’m elated to finally bring you Skull Boy in his debut issue! It’s silly, it’s chaotic, it’s laugh-out-loud funny. My wife and kids absolutely love him and they are the driving force behind me being able to write/pencil/ink/color Skull Boy for all of us. This is the time to pick up the first printing run of Skull Boy (Y’know in case you wanted to get in on the ground floor cuz this rocket only goes up!)

Some people talk about getting in touch with their inner child but I’ve been here the whole time.

There’s a lot of Spider-man to talk about but I’ll be dealing with my favorite era of Spidey: the 90s. I will not be ranting about One More Day or how everything has gone downhill since we lost MJ. I just wish the writers loved Spidey as much as you and I.

In the last issue, the Bolt was revealed to the world in a very public downtown brawl. Now, the Bolt doubles his efforts, taking the fight underground right into the Chimera’s lair! A bold move or a tactical error? We’ll find out in The Bolt #12!

The Bolt in freefall.
Just having some fun sketching and seeing where it takes me. AI could never.

The electrifying Bolt! This dude is back on my mind, back on the page as I begin work on issue 12!

#TheBoltComic #SuperheroSketch #IndieComicsArt #DynamicPoseDrawing #CamdensComics

There’s a lotta bad outta there and sometimes a bad guy will think he deserves to get his way. But all it takes is for one good person (or robot) to stand in his way. So remember to get in evil’s way as much as you can.

Also Anomaly #7 is now in print and available at Camdenscomics.com

This pic was inspired by the Ryan Coogler’s Sinners. I saw it in July and I’m still thinking about it. Still listening to the soundtrack. I hope this reel gives you an idea of what was happening in my head when I wrote and drew Anomaly #7

This Saturday, I’ll be at the Rutgers-Camden Comic Con! Always excited to return to my alma mater (and the place where I drew The Bolt #1). This con is always a great time, especially because it’s a FREE con open to the public! As always I’ll have The Bolt and Anomaly physical issues for sale and maybe a few surprises as well. Hope to see you there!

Big news! Camden’s Comics now has a YouTube channel. Check the linktree!
Everyone kept telling me to make one so I finally listened. It’s a channel where I talk about my comics and I show how to make comics. A fun time.

Thanks to my brother-in-law @thekennylieur for setting up my camera and lighting. Also all of my videos are recorded in the dead of night for REASONS.

Anomaly #7 is officially done and off to the printer! And now, having used up all my creative energy, I return to the real world for a few weeks before the passion takes me again. What do you do for fun around here?

Putting the finishing touches on Anomaly #7. Just checking some color matching. Remember everyone: if it’s for online, use RGB. But when you print, use CMYK.

Today’s letter is P as I continue alphabetizing/numbering my comic book collection and we’re talking about everyone’s favorite anti-hero!

I’m here in Downtown Camden at the Nilsa Cruz-Perez branch, talking about how to draw comics!

I just read the new Batman #1 by Fraction and Jimenez and I think the Dark Knight is in good hands.

Back to organizing my comic book collection and today, I’m covering N & O. We’re talking New Mutants, Nightwing, and Onslaught!

Upcoming dates for my Fall Tour as I close out the year. I’ll be back at the library teaching comic book lessons for all ages. Feel free to DM me if you have any questions.

On my summer tour, a Mom DM’d me because her kid fell outside the age range, but since I don’t set the age ranges, I don’t acknowledge them either. I won’t turn anyone away. Comics are for everyone!

Fists of steel. A heart of gold.

Anomaly may be an artificial intelligence but he’s the fun kind. The kind of robots I love are the ones that have your back. Like R2 and Threepio. Artoo’s not stealing your art. He’s stopping the trash compactor. He’s locating the princess. He’s locking down that stabilizer.

In short, miss me with that AI art.

When I’m startled awake during a hard nap

How it feels when you get caught with your hand in the cookie jar…

“I went inside the computer and all I got was this lousy uniform”.

I like the idea of the holodeck from ST:TNG. It also makes for some great episodes. The one time Data and Geordi use it to play Sherlock Holmes, the Moriarty construct gains sentience. He’s alive. They go and get Picard and he’s like “Oh wow, new life”. Moriarty wants to exist outside the holodeck but since he’s a construct, he cannot leave. So they save him to a USB and roll credits.

Onryō bringing up Anomaly’s stats.

Happy to announce the inking is done for Anomaly #7 and I’m moving onto lettering.

Comic book writing is hard. Who wrote it better? @heymessyjessi is #1, @ryan_m_brady’s is #2.

Onryō, the vengeful spirit in the machine, is relentless! He’s taken control of the building. He’s invaded the system. There is no escape.

A cool 2-page spread from The Bolt #10. Bullman, Kinetica, and Trashman blow up Julius King’s spot, the first battle in the war for Camden.

It was a busy weekend and I’m happy to say I’m on the last page of Anomaly #7. The super talented @heymessyjessi has also been putting in the work, handing in some more colored pages. Anomaly is speeding right along and soon “The Black Cloud: Part One” will be in your hands!

Racing to the finish line! More colors for Anomaly #7 by @heymessyjessi . I’m finishing up the last pages now, coloring is going so smoothly, I think we’ll have this one in print before Halloween. Then it’s back to the Bolt!
