My name is Todd Luck and I’ve been creating sequential art for as long as I can remember. When I was five I used crayon and notebook paper to create new adventures for my favorite TV heroes. In high school I used pencil and paper to create a slew of comics filled with my own creations.
In college I finally made my first real comic for a class project. Pencil and ink put to Bristol board, lettered by computer and printed in that odd size that only American comics are printed in. It was 15 pages of black and white comic bliss.
And then…nothing.
I got a job. I got busy. Life interfered.

I got a job. I got busy. Life interfered.
I spent a brief stint as a political cartoonist for a college paper when I got my second degree, but that was it for my cartooning.
But the urge to create comics never left me. I was still constantly coming up with plots and characters, new worlds were always forming in my head. I was always thinking, planning, jotting down ideas…dreaming.
And now I think it’s time to act on those dreams, to pursue them the best I can with what I have. I still work a full time job, but in my spare I can create short stories that I can put online. Probably just a few a year to start.
I’ll start with College Follies, a series of humor stories I began plotting in college. I’ll dust off that comic I printed in college, touch it up and add color. Then I’ll submit it to online digital comics sites who will sell the comic worldwide if they pick it up. If they don’t, I will make it available to read online somewhere. I promise.
And so you’re invited to come along on this journey. I’ll be posting whatever I’ve been working on. You’ll be able to see me progress through the stories I’m doing, and hopefully through something bigger too. I’m hoping to find artists to turn College Follies into an ongoing series and to help turn all the other concepts in my head into dreams made manifest.
So please visit often, I’ll try to update as much as I can. You can also follow along on various social media sites (Facebook, Twitter, Google + and YouTube), which you’ll see linked on the sidebar of this blog
Below is the newly colored cover for the first issue. It’s the first step towards putting out my first story with many more to come very soon.
See you in the funny pages.
