John Dudley & Big Shoulders Comic
Comics are cool. I wrote Big Shoulders and a few others!
- Mad Castle #1 Preview (KS pre-launch link below!): First dates are tense. Less so when they don’t include a trip through the Mad Castle. If only these two were so lucky…

- Packs of the Lowcountry is a story about resisting the urge to bunker down from a monstrous world. By myself and @doncardenasart.bsky.social I’ve added the 2nd chapter as free to read via Global Comix. You can access it (and the 1st chapter!) right here: globalcomix.com/read/cab058f...
- Packs of the Lowcountry #1 (of six) was just added to Global Comix to read digitally (for free!). This was the first full length comic I ever completed and I still maintain that it’s one hell of a fun ride: globalcomix.com/read/5b919eb...

- Warm your hands by the fire with these character introductions for Big Shoulders #1 🔥 The full first issue is available to read via the Global Comix link here (only until Dec 1st though!): www.kickstarter.com/projects/big...
- Conan, he’s so hot right now! Love how Zub is weaving a tale across time periods, all featuring characters created by Robert E. Howard. The main series, Battle of the Black Stone, and Savage Sword (seriously, grab #11 for Liam Sharp’s story!!), and now Scourge of the Serpent is also so, so choice 🐍🔥

- How cool is this? Need to make some Canadian pen pals stat!
- 2024 will be a pivot point for assessing all art available digitally. Any art that was released that year or later will (and should) be met with skepticism until its method of creation is verified. As such, @scott1gray.bsky.social and I made something immensely clear on the opening page of our book
- Warrior Con was incredible. There’s nothing that revs the creative engine more than a great small convention scene. I even got to hang with these two lil’ creatives!

- Reposted by John Dudley & Big Shoulders ComicBefore the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

- Reposted by John Dudley & Big Shoulders ComicYour art isn’t bad just because it’s not selling right now. We’re in a recession and people don’t know when they’re gonna eat next, nobody can afford fun things because the economy is crumbling. It’s going to be hard a while.
