What
is, Thieves &
Kings?
“Thoroughly
engrossing self-published black-and white fantasy saga. [. . .] This is
a story for fans of Bone, Elfquest, Nausicaa, or Harry Potter to fall
in love with; highly recommended for teen and adult fantasy readers
everywhere.”

For any given project, I often end up with mountains of sketches which rarely ever
see the light of day. I figured I'd post some here...

The Finished Cover
Fan art?? Whoa. Didn't see that coming. Andrew Power just created and sent the very first piece of Stardrop fan artwork ever. I'll post all such items down here in this space. If you have your own web comic, please also include the address so's I can link to ya. (Click on the link icon beneath the picture to visit the artist's site.)

Sample Chapter from, Thieves & Kings, Volume 3, "The Blue Book"
Thieves & Kings is not a webcomic. It is an all-ages fantasy/adventure graphic novel series which I've been working on since 1994. It is nearly done; I hope to wrap up the story in the 7th volume, (currently in production). The chapter featured here offers a good example of what it's like to read Thieves & Kings. --It's a peppy sequence, and it contains both regular comic pages, and some text pages. It doesn't show much of the title character, (Rubel) and none of the Shadow Lady, but Heath and Varkias carry the show quite nicely. I hope you enjoy this sample of my work!
Good morning! This is just a quick note to anybody in the Valley this morning who is wondering if they'll be able to catch me down at the Wolfville Farmer's Market. . . You can! Come on down and chat with me, check out my ever-growing stock of comic books and prints while I sketch! (Also, the Farm Market is just plain fun!)
Cheers and have a great Saturday. It looks like it's going to be a beautiful day!

Hey there!
Here's another video of me being sleepy while hamming it up in a video store with my visiting Niece, (which is why the camera is so low to the ground). . .
