Action Fuckin' Hank

I've been pretty 'mums the word' about this one, but I played a small part in the production of an (adult) comic based on Dexter's Lab...featuring Action Hank, Dexter's Mom, and Lisa (from the 'Babysitter Blues' episode).  I did the re-inks, primary edits, and a small amount of coloring...no big whoop.  This being the first (completed) comic I've ever worked on.

"The Adventures of Action Fuckin' Hank" has been out on Jab Comix since the middle of June with a new page posted every coupla days.  Having been on vacation the past few weeks in a locale that doesn't have wifi and has little (if any) cell service (that's not a bad thing), today was the first I'd heard of the comic being up and running.

Yeah, sorry, it's a pay site...


In case anyone is wondering (as I'm sure some of you are), yes, I did make a little money from this during the production process....enough to pay one month's power bill.  As for Jab, no, I don't make any residual profits from him/them.  To be quite honest, it's hardly the gold mine one might think it is...and if this wasn't just a hobby and I didn't have a regular nine-to-five job, the term "starving artist" would definitely apply.

    1. By and large, Jab is sold comix by artists who have a style similar to his own. I use to think it was all done be him too, but given the shear amount of comix...yeah, too much for one man, even if just doing the roughs and farming out the rest.

      Well, just the one comic for free...it doesn't exactly give me an all-access pass to Jab's site.
