March 6th, 2007 Update: Today I have a severally cropped and uncolored cover of my forthcoming Graphic Novel up. I would've had it completed already, but I have seasonal work this time of year and it has slowed me a bit. But I should have it done within the next day or two. Three at most if I get colorin'-crazy. Come back daily, Chrusher-maniacs! I've been plotting this one for fifteen years! But while you wait, here are shotcuts to the main story cycles of my old, mostly comedic Chrusher book. Keep in mind, over 1,000 pages and nearly fifty episodes. Oh, and please don't just start with the first episode of the first or second volume and leave. That is oh, so lame, and common of 99.99999999% of visitors. Break the mold of the masses and sample around. Every issue is wildly different because I created them over many years. The stories and art vary a great deal. Here... this should help. But whethere you like my early stuff or not, be back in a day or two! Thanks!
Introduction to the Three Volumes of ChrusherComix
ChrusherComix is a comic book series
separated into three volumes. Although they are interrelated, they are
absolutely not interdependent. One could start from any of the
selections noted below, though I deeply insist that the average visitor
new to this book should exclusively read the dramatic third volume, as it was the
only one created for not just my friends, but specifically for a large
audience.
Come back soon, as the dramatic
Graphic Novel begins next!
Part I
Part II
Part III
Part IV
Part V
Volume One is essentially a comedy that
contains the introductions of many of the main characters. It was
poorly written and illustrated by me when I was fourteen though nineteen years
old and is essentially my practice, though it does contain a storyline.
It is provided online only for archival purposes, as most visitors will
have little to no interest in most of it other than some of my high school
classmates who were parodied in it, or people interested in watching an
amateur teenage cartoonist's artwork steadily improve. Then again,
0.000001% of visitors have never read more than 3% of it because they
leave after the silly and poorly drawn opening cycles.
Volume Two was written and illustrated during my twenties. Like its
predecessor, was only written and illustrated for my artistic practice
and the amusement of my friends, and is still not well-suited for a
wider audience. It continues the story introduced in the first volume,
but with superior artwork and additional characters. Though it is
largely a comedy, I placed dramatic elements within it to advance the
story of the forthcoming third volume between the humor, but then, to
simply amuse my best friends, gave way completely to little more than
juvenile humor as the volume concluded. Again, 0.000001% of visitors
have never read more than 3% of it because they leave when they don't
understand the characters in the opening episode.
Volume Three is a departure from the largely comedic initial volumes
of the book. It is a new and dramatic story meant to stand completely
on its own as an original graphic novel, but yet draw from certain
elements from the first two volumes. One will not need to read the first
two volumes to understand or enjoy the third, though a new reader may
venture back and visit the characters and their origins if they so
choose to. It is a drama that I have plotted for over a decade, and I am
debuting it on this website for a worldwide audience. Please respect
this description and I hope that you read and enjoy!
As for now, here is the newest page, an
unreleased conclusion to an old storyline with new art.
March 9th, 2007 Update: The cover is almost completed. It would've been finished earlier today but I had a family/work problem. It's around 95% complete. The B&W version doesn't do it any justice. My only problem now is whether or not to keep the nudity on the main page. Hmmm.... Well, be back later today or tonight!

"Classic Crusher Comics" was produced between 1988-1999 as an
unpublished "sketchbook with a storyline" amateur comic book
while the author was in school and for a short period thereafter. In 2005, it was reborn,
reprinted entirely for the world wide web as a webcomic. Now, a new graphic novel debuted, though interrelated,
not interdependent to the old archival comic books. Enjoy any
and all!
