#PortfolioDay? Hell yeah

I'm Jamil, a writer from Pittsburgh specializing in adventure fiction. I love me some antiheroes!

Since December, I've published eight short comics through the Western webcomic anthology All-True Outlaw (@alltrueoutlaw.bsky.social), with more to come!

FIRST ANGRY - an Acid Western

W: me👍
A: @jkroeg.bsky.social
L: @marinletters.bsky.social

Hamish is a deadbeat without a care...until he's confronted with a warrant for unpaid child support. Then he runs.

He didn't consent to this vision quest, but Old Man Coyote cares not.

First Angry - All-True Outlaw

It’s 1994 – Hamish “took too much” and is running from the cops. What weirdness will he discover in the Arizona desert?

From the Department of Wow Watchmen Really Keeps Surprising Me Decades Later:

I recently discovered that in this infamous panel, one of the best in the history of the medium, Adrian's arms are in the "five to midnight" position (with the Gordion Knot dilemma as a backdrop).

Unreal

Panel from Alan More and Dave Gibbons' Watchmen

Ozymandias shouts " I did it!". His arms are raised in victory, their positioning and the shadows on the wall evoke the Doomsday Clock being five minutes to "midnight"

A fresh comic from All-True Outlaw!

It's 1994 and perpetual fuck-up Hamish Hokee is running from the five-oh through the Arizona desert whilst under the influence of mystery drugs 🌀🏜️

#comicoop #comic #zine

I know there was better representation to be found but, as a kid in the 90s, I didn't have means to find them.

Panel 1 the first caption reads "The only elder queer representation I remember growing up was the Birdcage." The illustration depicts Robin Williams and Nathan Lane with arrows pointing to them that say 44 and 39. The second caption reads "And the other representation I got to see was interesting." What follow is a grid of characters from various movies. The list is Hanks from Philadelphia, Duane Whitaker from Pulp Fiction, Jaye Davidson from the Crying Game, Greg Kinnear from As Good As it Gets, and the scene from the movie Heather where the father says "I love my dead gay son!"

Howdy rowdies!

The new All-True Outlaw comic premiered today 🐺🏜️

"First Angry" follows a young burnout as he flees the law, responsibility and crazy ass visuals brought on by illicit hallucinogens!
