Liberteens on CO2
Former Elementals artist and long time friend of Bill and mine , Mike Leeke has joined with writer Robert Jackson Jr. to bring The Amazing Liberteens to CO2 Comics.
Our relationship with Mike goes back to our college days at Philadelphia College of Art (PCA) which is now the prestigious University of the Arts (UArts) He was part of the gang that produced Duckwork and eventually came aboard at Comico as penciler on ROBOTECH the Macross Saga and eventually Bill Willingham’s Elementals. After Comico Mike went on to work with Bob Layton at Valiant where he illustrated X-O Manowar, H.A.R.D. Corps, PSI-Lords, Deathmate, The Visitor, and Dr. Mirage.

Mike moved to Lone Star Press to provide art for Pantheon and then rejoined Bob Layton to work with Dick Giordano and David Michelinie on Freemind for Future Comics. One Look at The Amazing Liberteens and it is easy to see why Mike has been able to hang with some of the greats in the industry, not only is he an incredible draftsman he is a great visual storyteller.
His partner and creator of The Amazing Liberteens, Robert Jackson Jr. , is the author of the fantasy novels, Turn of the Circle and The Amazing Liberteens as well as the on-line comics Warrior Son and Anarchia. Mike and Robert have some big plans in store for you lucky readers of CO2 Comics so grab your shirt tails and dive into the adventures of the next hot teen super group and let us know what you think!
The Gutter | Welcome Joe Williams
Thursday, June 18th, 2009Joe 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!
