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.

Screaming Tiki Con inspired art

Kev here,
Just wanted to share a few images that I created while at the con
(I'll leave the wordsmithing about the event to Sam ;)

"Knuckle Working"
(click image for larger version)
This image is Knuckle (a major character in our book STRAITS) doing some work in the dark of night.


"Step On It"
(click image for larger version)
As far as I can remember, this is my first ever original drawing of a super hero. Besides not really being into the classic super heros as much as other stuff, I never felt quite worthy. I decided that I wanted my first ever drawing of the Dark Knight to be different that the classic poses that we all see him in all the time ;)



"The View"
(click image for larger version)
This last image was inspired by one of the dancers at The View in Cleveland where we had a very cool appreciation party. Fire breathing, sparks flying, amazing DJ's (including Sam) and great dancing, including this girl who, along with her unique outfit, had an amazing style of movement.

I learned a lot, met some very cool people, really enjoyed the party, danced for the first time in a very long time, saw some famous people and had fun with Sam, Jess and Kevin (another Kevin).

It was a great time.
