One of the titles at Silverwolf which Tim Vigil worked on was Nightmaster, a book about an American ninja in California.
The issue has an amazing cover by Vigil, with only 21 B&W interior pages.

A while back I had a commission piece done by Roman (which was posted here on Moby’s) and I have been meaning to interview him about his time working for Greater Mercury Comics, but never got around to it until recently.
Roman Morales III was published in Assassin Force #2 and in the Grips Special #1 by GMC, as well as the portfolio artwork for the for the character Edge.

He was a police officer for about a decade and a half, and is currently a starring member on Mun2′s spanish-language bounty hunter reality show Fugitivos De La Ley Los Angeles (Fugitives Of the Law).

Again, I cannot thank Brian enough for his willingness to share his unpublished art with us fans, giving us all a chance to see ‘what might have been’. Continue reading »
