While retrieving the “Eight-Legged Scarab”, an amulet that would unlock the “Web of Ages”, young Brigg Brown’s exuberance accidentally triggers a chain reaction that results in his father’s disappearance and scatters the pieces of the only artifact that can bring his dad back.

“The Adventures of the Araknid Kid” is a quirky, all-ages graphic novel set in the fictional boomtown “Obie City”, where old western aesthetics meet future technology – with bandits on mechanical horses to rodent-piloted robots. The title hero, donning mummy-wrap and his dad’s goggles, swings to the rescue using his trapeze-bar web-shooters and wit.

While wearing the “Eight-Legged Scarab”, Brigg Brown gains the climbing and agility attributes of a spider – but loses his ability to speak with words. Communicating only with picto-grams and rebus puzzles (a sort of hieroglyphics), reader’s are encouraged to solve the puzzles to figure out what the Kid is saying. (If the context clues aren’t enough of a hint – the suggested “answers” can be found on the bottom of the page.)

Araknid Kid first appeared on DC Comics Zuda site where it competed, American-Idol style, for a contract. While it didn’t get voted to the top, it was one of only a few of the comics to be voted back to compete a second time in the invitational.

It is currently being adapted to the long-form graphic novel format – but you can read the comic books here:

“Baxter Beaver’s Bad Breath” is a picture book about the importance of brushing your teeth – told with (mostly) alliteration.

When a mastermind is evil – and his goal is world domination – and he’s kidnapped a key member of the World Organization Of Defense (W.O.O.D) – he needs to be stopped. That’s exactly what the agency plans to do.

“Inspector Gadget” meets “MacGyver” in this action-packed, hilarious, middle grade graphic novel.

“Jump: Encouragement for Entrepreneurs on the Edge” is a graphic novel written as I prepared for my own plunge into self-employment. The ideas presented in the book include:

- There’s no cookie-cutter path to starting your own business

- People limit themselves to their own experiences, they generally don’t encourage you to go places they’ve never been

- Be aware of where advice from friends is coming from – it’s usually based on their own fears

- Facing the fear of failure. Failure isn’t “not succeeding” – failure is not learning from mistakes and adjusting accordingly.

- Taking risks doesn’t mean acting recklessly – it’s important to make well-informed decisions

- Fighting Worries and Doubts – these can be suffocating, but are largely imaginary and are a waste of time to give any attention to

- Focus on strengths, not weaknesses
