Rich Douek became infatuated with comics at a young age, using his allowance and whatever spare change he could find to buy them off the rack at the candy store near his home in NYC. Years later, after building a successful career in copywriting (and filling up quite a few long boxes), he was able to realize a lifelong dream by publishing Gutter Magic , his first original comic, through IDW and Comics Experience. Since then, he has been pursuing further writing opportunities in the world of comic books, and beyond. Alex Cormack is an illustrator and animator whose works include the critically acclaimed SINK from ComixTribe Publishing, RED DOG from 451 media, the official prequel to the motion picture HARDCORE HENRY , HARDCORE AKAN from STX Entertainment and Bliss on Tap Publishing, and ROAD OF BONES from IDW Publishing. He has also done work for Adult Swim, Oni press, and KRS Comics.
