Hey #portfolioday, I am Doug Wood! I am a disabled comic creator from KC. I write, letter and flat comics.

I’d love to write on crime stories or YA/MG graphic novels. So consider hiring me!

Here is my portfolio:

US holiday sees an increase in new writers wanting to make comics so I tried to take new writers through an easy step by step process with examples on how to turn their idea into a script.

Also a few scripts on there available for artists to practice or collabs.

Seeing indie superhero story successes in Invincible cartoon and the Dispatch video game makes me wish it wasn’t so hard to get people interested in indie/self published superhero comics.

I know they both have real budgets so that helps but on Kickstarter its one of the deadest categories

My comics anniversary is this week, so some new writing, flatting, or editing projects would be timely!
It's Jordan Alsaqa, Comic Writer!

In addition to original works like Cooking with Monsters and Raise Hell!, I've worked on numerous IP such as Apex Legends and Borderlands. I've had credits at IDW, Comixology, and Insight Editions, and I'm open to new work!

Went to my 10 year old nephew’s wrestling practice. Definitely made me miss it.

I volunteer coached at a middle school when I was in the army. And wrestled a tournament after assisting with hurricane Katrina. Miss those times

The script said "We've only seen transwarp a few times in the history of Trek - so it would be exciting to build a really unique visual framework for it here." so I thought it'd be awesome to play with the distortion of the image and its coloring, glithcing the space and time.
Heather Moore rocks.

It's getting to be that year-end time of year (great turn of phrase, dave) and I hope people consider SPECTRUM and PLAGUE HOUSE on their BEST COMICS OF 2025 lists. Two uncompromising books that absolutely rip and deserve to be on your shelves or some other surface

A comics discord group I am in has been talking about doing a writing challenge for December.

I really want to push myself. So I am going to attempt to write 20 pages a week, basically a new issue 1 per week. Got to start prepping now! I have some ideas

Inking with a brush pen is fun but so challenging to get consistent line weights. Yes there are mistakes but I won’t learn unless I keep at it.

Been advised to try some of the old masters work. I will soon as I finished these I already paid for
