Today’s post is page 2 (of 3) of the short story “Stranger in a Strange Land“, by guest creators Thane Benson and Michael Axt. The concluding page will post on Wednesday, August 4.

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT:
Michael Axt

Michael Axt was born with a cheese steak in one hand and a pencil in the other.  At the tender age of 5 he drew his first picture of Spider-Man which has blossomed into a surprisingly healthy spandex fetish.  After learning everything he possibly could in just one year at the Savannah College of Art and Design, he decided his efforts were better suited in restaurants bringing overpriced entrees to overweight tourists.  All the while honing his artistic skills to a rather dull edge.  He now splits most of his time between drawing and raising Panda Force agent Elyse Pompei-Axt.  Oh and he also really likes chicken wings.

Panda Force is proud to present the first page of “Stranger in a Strange Land“, written by Thane Benson and illustrated by Michael Axt, with letters by Sean Causley. The next page of this epic short will post on Friday, July 30.

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT:
Thane Benson

Thane Frederick Benson is the creator of “Azz’s Inferno” and “Quick, The Clockwork Knight” both of which were formerly featured on DC’s Zuda Comics and are now available on his website at www.clockworkknight.blogspot.com where Thane posts updates on current projects. When not writing or drawing, Thane enjoys thinking about writing and drawing and occasionally he eats and sleeps. The much repeated rumor that Thane once knocked Alan Moore unconscious with a pool cue during a London barroom brawl is entirely fictional and has no basis in truth. However, that little incident with Neil Gaiman and the sack of potatoes in that alley in Brussels totally happened.

Today Panda Force comic dot com features the one page short “Tea Time“, written by Sean Causley and illustrated by Darrin Stephens. The next short will begin on Wednesday, July 28.
