The next creator involved in the
second SENTINELS Anthology is someone who can be blamed, I mean, is responsible
for introducing me to Luciano Vecchio! That’s right, without Marcus Mebes, the creative
team for SENTINELS would never would have met.
So, depending on your opinion, lol, you can either thank him or send
hate mail. But in all seriousness, I owe a great deal of gratitude to Marcus
for introducing me to one of my best friends and collaborators, Luciano.
So, when it came time to gather
people together for the Anthology, I knew I wanted to involve Marcus. And it
wasn’t just because he introduced Luciano and I; it was because Marcus is also
a talented and experienced writer (who draws too!). I was impressed with the
volume of material Marcus has written, from many different Oz related stories and
prose to his own book, Rats. He publishes long-lost books and new stories under
his Pumpernickel Pickle imprint at www.lulu.com/spotlight/baringer
Marcus happily agreed to write Heartache’s story
for the Anthology and even though it’s a short story, he definitely put a lot
of thought into it and wrote much more than I was able to fit it. Marcus
understands characters and is able to add just the right touch to make you
connect with them quickly. And when you see the art by Penny Gaylord and
Gabriel Cassatta, for his story, you’ll see how great a team they make! And
when Marcus isn’t writing, you can find him at the gym at insane hours of the
night or morning pumping iron! Thanks for being involved in the Anthology,
Marcus!
