As a big fan of the Roger Rabbit comics, I was very excited to get in touch with Gary Martin, a freelance comic book inker and writer whose career spans over twenty years. He’s worked for all the major companies, including Marvel, DC, Dark Horse, Image, and Disney - and on such titles as, Spider-man, Hulk, X-men, Batman, Star Wars, and Mickey Mouse. Gary is best known for his popular how-to books entitled, “The Art Of Comic Book Inking”, and his ink work with Steve Rude on the Moth and Nexus. Currently, Gary is writing an eight volume graphic novel series he created for Zondervan publishing called, “Son Of Samson”. Find out more about this talented artist, and why the Roger comic was cancelled.
