Description

I first met Nick Pitarra at the late and not very lamented Space City Comic Con when it held its initial show at the Westin Galeria Hotel back in 2012! Manhattan Projects by Jonathan Hickman and Nick had been out for about 5 issues that I hand not picked up. Nick talked me into buying them and I was hooked.

Nick's art style is a clear descendant of Moebius by way of Frank Quitely with a smidge of Geof Darrow thrown in.

Nick recently decided to self-publish and self-fund his own original story through Zoop - Axe-Wielder Jon. The campaign was a huge success; he tired for $25K and ended up with about $250K! Read this for a few sample pages and some background.

Though the story isn't complete (yet), I jumped on it because of my faith in Nick. He's making steady progress with art being made available through Felix Comic Art.

This piece is in my Sheldon Mayer characters sketchbook. I suggested the the kids meet Jon.

I think Nick did a great job! Maybe Jon's not as bad a guy as he appears.

Really cool like they naturally belong in his care and under his protection.
