It feels good to complete a full story, especially after persevering through opposition and obstacles for years. This Sunday, Randolph Dixon & I offer up our FINISHED graphic novel - The Absentee - in deluxe hardcover format. Every single panel of the 120-page tale written by me and expertly illustrated by Rando (colors by Kate Frizzell & Vito Potenza).

The Absentee is a story of demonic possession but set in a science fiction world with a twist: while the demon possesses our hero's body, our hero also possesses the demon's.
