Get Ready for D.A.N.G.E.R.!!

Posted by Rob M. Worley on Jan 28, 2011 in Agent of Danger, Featured | 0 comments

Entering into a top-secret pact with Shannon Denton, Jon Lewis and Phil Hester is risky business. But I have. And now Comic Book Resources has exposed our secret society with their article:

Meet Agent of D.A.N.G.E.R.

That’s right. I’m an Agent of D.A.N.G.E.R. That’s the name of our little think tank/writers studio. We’ll be generating family-friendly books, comics and stories from our secret clubhouse at the bottom of an undisclosed body of water.

My first two AoD titles are. All Robots Must Die and Adventure-O-Matic! Hit AgentOfDanger.com for more info. For now, here is some preliminary artwork from both:

ADVENTURE-O-MATIC

ALL ROBOTS MUST DIE

Loki & Heimdall Cover Art

The last two story books that I authored for Magic Wagon’s Short Tales line focus on the characters of Norse Myth: Loki and Heimdall. They’re available for pre-order now on Amazon for a September release.

These books were fun to write. They required a bit of research as I’m not as versed in Norse mythology as I am in Greek. I didn’t really realize when I drew this pair that their stories overlapped so much, with Heimdall clashing directly with Loki at Ragnarok.

The covers below are the first artwork I’ve seen from them. In fact, it’s from them that I’m learning that comic book artist Brandon McKinney (Spider-Man, Godzilla!!!) illustrated the Loki book. Comic book artist Shawn Moll (She-Hulk, Friday the 13th) drew the Heimdall book. Can’t wait to see the interiors.

Other books in the line include Odin by Shannon Eric Denton and Mark Bloodworth, Thor by Denton and Mateus Santolouco, Freya by Christopher E. Long and Mike Dubisch and Tyr by Long and Dubisch.

GRUNTS Comin’ at ya!

Woo-hoo. The GRUNTS: WAR STORIES trade paperback is coming from Arcana this April. It’s a collection of short stories based on Shannon Eric Denton & Keith Giffen’s squad of resourceful U.S. Amry guys who encounter strange things on the World War II battlefield.

I’m psyched because I’ve got a short story contained within.  Mine is a straight-ahead tale of three of the grunts taking on a platoon of Nazis to recover a stolen document.

You’ve also got stories from great comic writers like Marc Bernardin, Adam Freeman, Kevin Grevioux, Dwight MacPherson and Christopher E. Long to name a few.

The tireless Matt “More Red Bull” Jacobs drew the whole thing.

It’s 9 new stories plus pinups and extras.

Be sure to ask your retailer about it and give them Diamond ordering code JAN10 0720

Here’s the official description and cover:
