CO2 COMICS BLOG

Joe is a friend from way back in our days at the Philadelphia College of Art (PCA) currently named The University of the Arts (UArts.) He was an illustration major with a penchant for comics like all of our pals who had gathered together to work on a publication called Duckwork which was more of an excuse to draw comics and create mayhem around the school than anything else.

We were a prolific group that, besides Joe Williams, included myself (Slaughterman), Bill Cucinotta (Skrog), Matt Wagner (Grendel, Mage, Trinity), Mike Leeke (Robotech, Elementals, Fathom), Dave Johnson (Robotech), and Joe Matt (Jam, Peepshow) just to name the guys who went on to work in comics.

Joe presents us with a fun short story called Deadline that was originally created as a promotional tool and does a great job displaying Joe’s talents as an illustrator with a comic flair. We expect to see more of Joe’s stylings on future projects but for now, kick back and enjoy the pressure that every professional artist endures when it comes down to the dreaded Deadline!
