Creator Spotlight: Garth Ennis by Chris.Dot

Beautiful people,

Thank you for tuning into another issue of Love Letters on the Walls. This issue will be brief as I’m working on a couple projects at this time; including Ronin Craftsman and a short story for my fellow “Bonehead” crew, but I still want to publish these, no matter the content.

SO LET’S DIVE RIGHT IN!

As aforementioned, I’m currently editing and preparing Ronin Craftsman, which is on track to be released late 2025/ early 2026. Also in the works, a short story in collaboration with the guys over at Bonehead Publications, whom I’ve written and published the short The Curse of the Damnesville Wolf with. This time, we’re headed to a mysterious shop where trinkets and gadgets for the peculiar are often found called, Cobwebs & Curios. To be released sometime in the upcoming months, I find it fun and challenging to write in both realms of comics as well as novelizations. and encourage all aspiring writers/creators to practice the same.

Many authors come to mind

when you ask me what’re some memorable arcs from some of my favorite characters. From Jim Shooter and the first run of Marvel’s Secret Wars to all things Alan Moore did at DC Studios and then some. Stories that push the envelope on “what is a comic book?” is, always drew me deeper into the tale.

One of my favorite, modern authors who tend to bend the norm is Garth Ennis. A lot of you readers may recognize his name as one of the co-creators and writer of The Boys, but I was introduced to him back in the early 2000’s with Vertigo Studios’ Preacher. Following a small town preacher who discovers he has the literal “voice of god” and can make people do whatever or say anything at his will and command. Reading Preacher for the first time I got a glimpse of odd characters like Eugene Root, who had one of the most endearing and relatable stories, yet an absolutely bonkers of a character design.

From illustrations to the shit show his characters tend to create/fall into, Garth Ennnis is constantly showing just how deep and gritty the rabbit hole gets when you pick up one of his books, which includes his most recent run in Marvel with Get Fury.

Welp,

that’s all the time I have for today as I continue on with these stories. Again, I love and enjoy each and everyone. Yes, that includes him or her, because if I don’t then who will? Remember, with empathy and compassion as the foundation.

Thanks for reading!
