Recently, up-and-coming comics artist Ming Doyle posted a picture on the Internet. It was a picture of Piggy Gaga, and once you see it, you will not be able to un-see it. When she's not making our heads explode with nightmarish creations like Piggy, Ming keeps busy drawing just about everything. In addition to collaborating with Kevin Church (who we interviewed earlier this week) on the webcomic The Loneliest Astronauts, Ming has contributed to anthologies (Secret Identities: The Asian-American Superhero Anthology, Image's Popgun and Outlaw Territory, BOOM!'s Zombie Tales) adaptations of films (Jennifer's Body with BOOM!), and lots of other odds and ends. Perhaps her most high-profile gig to date was bringing the BAMF to a Nightcrawler story in the recently-released Girl Comics #1, an anthology series that spotlights some of the industry's top female talent.

When we first met Somerville resident Kevin Church (pictured!) back in 2005, he was primarily responsible for BeaucoupKevin, a blog where he offers his own whiskey-drenched take on the comics industry. Over the last few years Kevin's gone from a rodeo clown commentator to a bronco-busting comic cowboy: in addition to getting paid cash money to write word balloons for BOOM! Studios, he's also assembled an impressive roster of webcomics over at Agreeable Comics. Titles include The Rack, Lydia, She Died In Terrebonne, and The Loneliest Astronauts (among others). In recent months, Kevin has continued Phase One of his comics industry takeover, printing and designing his Agreeable wares into collections that offer just as much bang for your buck as titles put out by the bigger companies, plus the added satisfaction of supporting a local business.
