You may be surprised to learn that I don’t have much experience drawing superhero comics. Sure, I’ve made commissioned art featuring the capes & spandex crowd. But when it comes to actual sequential pages, my career has focused more on aliens, cyborgs and oddball humans.
However, I did have a five-year run drawing a super team called The Cyber Squad from 2016 to 2021. The general public never saw these comics because they were made for a corporate client and featured in calendars gifted to the company’s staff each year.
Straight-laced as that might sound, these comics were bonkers. The Cyber Squad was a trio of cybersecurity warriors, thundering through office parks to warn folks about the dangers of online scams and black hat hackers!
Nowadays, I look back on these comics with pride & joy. The client was utterly reliable. They trusted me to take their concept and have fun with it. And thankfully, they paid well.
To top it off, I was able to hire the illustrious Len O’Grady as my colorist. And sweet mercy, did he make these pages sing! Len is truly a wizard and a badass artist in his own right. You can see more of his work at LenOGrady.Art.
Similar to much of my animation work, I’ve been sitting on these comics for years. So I’m grateful that I get to share them with you now. Hope you enjoy!
Be well and stay tuned,

I love these! You and Len really kicked ass here.
Whaaat? These are amazing (as usual), Dave!
