I’m please to say that I have finally completed all of the issue art for ORCS! The Curse. That’s 200 pages written, laid out, inked, and colored since March. In addition to painting four issue covers. It was a lot of work in a short time. Unfortunately, it kept me away from posting issue previews like I did for Volume 1.
So, for the uninitiated, and everyone else wondering What the heck is ORCS!? I wanted to do a post with all if the issue summaries and a small preview.

The former would have been a lovely, moody piece, but the latter – with only one figure and the worst of my worries being a great glob of glowing goo – seemed the piece I could turn around the fastest.

ORCS! is an homage to the fantasy genre, written with affection and irreverence, where minions and monsters are explored beyond the usual antagonist or cannon fodder. I hope very much that you will all join me on this adventure!
