Welcome to Fair Weather Militia Comics.

We are a collective of writers and artists who have all come together to generate our own takes on something we love; namely, graphic forms.

Much of what we do is rooted deeply in the classic comics tradition, but with an eye toward what is possible. And yeah, we're kinda making a lot of it up as we go, so please be patient.

"STRAITS" is but one of what will eventually be several titles available under this banner. In addition, we will feature artists and writers who will be available for other projects. In time, we will have a dedicated website where you will be able to download issues, but for now, we're just trying to get this ship moving.

If you like what you see, tell us. Have a question? Ask it. Want to help? We're all ears.

Again, welcome.

@ the Screaming Tiki Con 2009

Well, folks, we made it.

After listening to a GPS that seemed to want to send us first to Detroit, then, possibly, McMurdo Station, we arrived in time to set up and hang out with other established artists.

And I got a picture taken with Edward James Olmos, which was pretty damn cool.

Also, I got to talk with Gary Friedrich, the creator of Ghost Rider, which was weird since I did a brief report on him for a class last semester.

Today, we are busy. And by busy, I mean that we're sitting behind this table, cracking wise with Sterling Clark, who has just been inducted in the African American Heritage Museum in Fort Wayne, Indiana. He's been in the game for quite a while, and has been quite gracious in giving advice and encouragement.

This is fun, folks. This is a great business. Where else can you go, what other industry is there, where the competition is on your side, and the fans are so gracious?

Stay tuned!
