Rich's latest work has been inking Ninjas vs. Zombies starting with issue #6. Rich's dream job would be to ink George Perez.
Bruce Dwayne - Art Director, Letterer
After drawing in margins of homework assignments in school, Bruce Dwayne finally drew for his work as a student of the Kubert School. His artistic expressions span from graphic arts, photography, digital manipulations, & fight choreography. His drawing style is influenced by martial art & anime movements mixed with noir & spiritual themes. His first published work was the self owned Captain Liberty & Flame in the Champion newspaper for Liberty University. Other works include movie storyboards, company logo designs, and shirt and tattoo designs. Bruce's current works include editing and lettering for Azure Press and self-published webcomics, the martial art Cloud Eagle and survival humor D.E.A.D. Beat.
