To the best of my limited knowledge, nobody has tackled the task of creating the first comic book for ATS. That mission seemed like one I needed to take up, and here is the result. I hope you enjoy what I've put together. If people dig it, I will deliver a second issue in the near future.

The title of my little series is-



And it deals with the familiar decent in to conspiracy that so many of us must understand by now. Well. Thanks to the site's owners for allowing me to put this up here, and thank you for checking it out. Well, here goes nothing. Good luck in there!

Well, that's it for now. I hope you enjoyed it because I have a lot of plans for continuing the series complete with ATS guest appearances and a whole slew of silliness to come.

Thanks for your time and energy. I hope it was well spent.

GOOD DAY ATS-ERS!

I like this a lot!!!

The art is great... I'm curious how it was made. Looks like you took photos and then used a program to make the photos look more like drawings. However it was done it must of taken a good deal of effort.

Thumbs up. Can't wait for part two.

Thanks very much! You are correct, most of the work is digital pics with some drawing to back it up and a whole lot of "messing around" in photoshop. Your comments made me very happy.

Effort was there, indeed, but it only took about two weeks to make.

Thanks for the great comments and I am so glad you enjoyed yourself. It is the best reward for doing anything creative. I love seeing people enjoy what I make.

Thank you! I really enjoyed making it, so at least I didn't waste my time. I hope to do a lot more along the lines of ATS comics, heck maybe even a fully drawn one one day (but that takes a lot of time and effort).

I have a few ideas for part 2. This one was just an introduction to the series, so if you enjoyed part one- I hope you return for part 2.,

I signed up just to tell you that you did an awesome job with that. Graphics were really good and it flowed very well.

Frankly this is the kind of thing the website should be investing in, as opposed to the not so good conspiracy chicks (for example).

Mr Mask. That was damn good stuff...artwork and script were just perfectly pitched. That's a fair bit of talent right!



Kissinger...you bastard!


This made me laugh when I only do scowls and cusses in the morning. Well done, very cool.

You planning on a 'Side-Kick' at some stage in your comic??

Perhaps utilize a Moderator as your s-kicker.

S&F Very entertaining.

Others have stated it already, but i cant help myself from saying it again; This was an awesome opening for a comic! You made the whole thing "flow" very well, which isn't often seen amongst single-man teams of comic makers. Keep up the good work!

Thank you everyone! The good reviews are all great to read with a morning cup of coffee by my side. I'm gunna try and answer some of these questions all in one shot-

Here goes.

The comic took about 2 weeks, but I only worked on it a few hours a day, and some of those days were spent ignoring the project.

Sidekick? Dunno about that...maybe! But what I DO want to accomplish in a few up coming issues is guest stars and cameo appearances from certain names people know and love (or love to hate), including some of our more famous debunkers and hopefully some staff members...of course with permission. So if you end up getting a U2U from me asking if I can "use you", it is nothing that disturbing.

Thank you to everyone who liked the "writing part". I was cramped for space and didn't want to litter the first issue with too many subjects. I went for a fast pace that simply explained my "fall into conspiracy" close enough to the truth of it.

The next issue will hopefully be posted by the end of next month. I still haven't finished writing it up nor have I began the "art process" on it. Each issue I want to focus on a part of "being a conspiracy theorist" and the paranoia and confusion that comes from it. It wont all be in jest, but obviously it wont all be "that" serious.


With all that said, really, thanks. When I started tooling around with this project I showed it to a few people around here and they convinced me it was a good idea.

I simply wanted to do a comic book (been wanting to do another one for years), and "conspiracy" seemed to be a perfect choice with a large audience already here.

So thanks so much for making me feel motivated and wanting to produce issue 2.

You guys n gals are awesome.

Thanks for making my morning. Really!

MM

PS- Whoever asked if I was using digital pictures, I sure was. Hand drawing a comic this big on my own would take months and months. So I decided to use digi pics.

So yeah...that really is me.
