The image above is the cover for Cy-Boar issue #1, the beginning
of this series. I first drew a cover for this story way back in 1989,
before drawing the story. As I gradually drew this tale, the I got
a little better. So, after I was done with the final page, I thought
the original cover looked terrible. So I drew this version.
Years
later, in 1999, I was involved in an internet comic book company
that wanted to publish Cy-Boar online. At that time I reworked
and revised this cover image. Unfortunately, that company fell
through and Cy-Boar never made it online.... Until now.
This
site will chronicle my Cy-Boar series of comics. As I mentioned
above, I started drawing this character and his adventures back
in 1989, when I was a sophmore in High school. At that time, I
had been drawing a Ninja Turtles based comic for my friends called "Trans-Dimensional
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles". A bunch of my friends were
interested in drawing comics at the time. My younger brother and
one of his middle school friends came up with a 6 page story about
this "Cy-Boar" character. FOr some reason which I now
forget, I thought it would be a good idea to redraw their story
and expand upon it.
After
I drew that first story, I kept drawing Cy-Boar comics through
the rest of high school years, through college and into the present.
These stories are usually a sideline to whatever else I am doing
in life. Usually Cy-Boar's latest adventure is relegated to a sketchbook
that I only work on when I'm in an airplane or on a roadtrip.
This
site will collect all of these Cy-Boar tales, in full color for
the first time. I will also rework the text and lettering to make
it all easier to read.
Please
check back here every THURSDAY and come along for the journey!
