Welcome to the official website of The Crimson Terror.
This comic was created by my friend and project partner, Tom Powers, whom recently passed away. I have taken over ownership so that I can carry on the adventure. I hope you enjoy the series and appreciate you checking it out.
As you read through the current issue of the comic, starting right here on this very page, I am leaving some editorial commentary along the way, as to share some insights and touch on the process of the look of the series.
While keeping with the classic golden age vibe Tom originally wanted with the character, I took it up a notch with a very fast paced graphic flow. Even though this is a mild talking head kinda starting point, it was very important that it moved like an action comic.
I designed the overall look of the story as if you are reading not only a comic but a tabloid magazine of the time, which this opening page is a prime example of that format. That's also the reason for it working as a self cover.
