The original idea behind AFC STUDIO
was to provide an avenue for local talent to promote
and publish their work. I had no intention of being
anything other than a facilitator/editor and as I got
to know which of my customers had the drive to get into
the comic industry I shared my plan. Thus AFC Studio
began to take shape.
On a fateful day in December of 1998, an artist by
the name of Albert Silva forced my hand by telling me
that he and a friend had created some characters that
they really wanted to work into a comic but they were
unable to come up with a story. We discussed his characters
and some ideas I had worked on years before when I had
aspirations of being a screenwriter. He liked what he
heard and a few days later asked me if I'd be interested
in working with him and thus was begat THE
END.
THE END, debuted as a Limited
Edition Preview at the San Diego Comic Convention in
August 1999, and was redrawn and accepted for distribution
by Diamond Comics in April 2000, was our first published
comic work.
Currently I am concluding work on the prose vampire
novel, WASTING THE DAWN, written
by San Diegan David Hurwitz and featuring illustrations
by Los Angelino, Bobby Breed. If you thought Anne Rice
was good, just wait til you see this! Wasting the Dawn
was such a grand project I felt it needed more attention
than I could give it, so I will be releasing this through
IDW Publishing in June of 2005.

OK, OK, I'll tell you what AFC stands for! Every day
I am besieged by e-mail. phone calls and snail mail
by people who want me to carry their comic, most of
which look like they were produced by monkeys. My reaction
to these books lately has come to be, "Great, that's
all we need, Another Fuc#!ng Comic Studio"! So
now when an AFC book shows up and the person holding
it utters those famous words "Great, that's all
we need, Another Fuc#!ng Comic", we can happily
say, "You're absolutely right and here it is! Of
course it also helps that San Diego is known as America's
Finest City" ! Now you know .
What will set AFC STUDIO apart from
the rest ?
- This is a labor of love for me. I am sick over the
way many of my favorite titles are being reborn, relaunched
or worse, retired! I don't care what the latest fad
is, I just want to put an exciting story in your hands.
It's my money and my name being put on the line and
I'm not beholden to advertisers or shareholders to
pump out garbage month after month.
- AFC STUDIO stands poised to bring
the best illustrated and prose stories it can find
to press. We hope to produce a diverse line of entertainment
from comics to illustrated novels to multimedia software
and the only constant will be the quality of the content
and a totally unique presentation.
- Our projects will be chosen based on their strengths.
We will not limit ourselves to being to any one genre
or style. We hope to produce a diverse line of entertainment
from comics to illustrated novels to multimedia software
and the only constant will be the quality of the content
and a totally unique presentation.
