 If the pandemic has taught me anything, it's that we need to adapt to this ever changing world if we wish to survive. This is no longer a mere saying or business model. Everything has changed. And that's as grim as this post will get. We are adapting and evolving at Junction Comics Group. We've decided to make our books available to online customers that will make buying and reading comics fun again. Currently available are our award nominated first two issues of The Gather Place and we are also taking pre-orders on issue #3 of The Gathering Place in our  shop . You can preview the interior artwork  here  for the entire series.

Happy Holidays

 It's been quite the incredible year.  Too many "Ups and Downs" to mention but forever grateful to have gone through those experiences and to be here now.   Just received this year's family Christmas cards from the printer and thought I'd post these cards from the past few years.  Hopefully they put a smile on your face as they do mine.  Should be rather easy to spot my influences. 2020 2019 2018
