About

Hi, I'm Charlie. I draw monsters and stuff. I also draw the comic book series Lilith Dark, which is about a little girl who battles the beasties who live in a mysterious old tree. I created Lilith Dark so that my daughter and other kids her age could have a kick-butt comic book character to root for that wasn't gender stereotyped or overtly sexualized.

I've since been able to successfully fund a trade paperback colection of the first six issues via Kickstarter. The book, Lilith Dark and the Beastie Tree, will be available in stores in May 2014. Single issues of Lilith Dark are also available via Comixology.

Hi, I'm Charlie. I'm making Lilith Dark comics for kids because kids love comics!



OK, so what's this comic all about?
Lilith Dark stars a young girl who prefers adventure to tea parties. While seeking said adventure, Lilith discovers an underworld of wicked beasties who plan to eat her and her family for supper. It's up to Lilith to save the day and make sure her brother and sister don't end up on the beasties' menu.

What made you start this comic?
I created Lilith Dark after visiting my local comic shop with my daughter and quickly realizing that there was practically nothing on the shelf for a girl her age to read, and of the small selection of kids' comics available, virtually nothing featuring a female in the lead role. My goal with this series is to help fill a gap in the world of comics by releasing comic books and graphic novels that are appropriate for kids 12 and under, so that they too can experience the awesomness that is comics!

Sounds awesome! How can I help?
I've loved every minute I've spent working on Lilith Dark since 2009, but make no mistake, creating comics is hard work! That's where you can help.



By becoming a Patron, you'll help provide the financial support needed to create even more Lilith Dark adventures!

Your support will help fund the creation of the second volume of Lilith Dark, and will also go toward ensuring these stories will be enjoyed by a wider audience than I could ever reach on my own. You'll be helping supply the extra income required for advertising, web hosting and maintenance, travel expenses, convention fees, and whatever other charges are hidden in the fine print.
As a Patron, you'll have access to my exclusive Patron Only blog, featuring concept art and design notes for all of my current and upcoming comic projects. You'll also receive exclusive access to Lilith Dark pages as they're completed, and other Patron Only perks. Most importantly, you'll be the very first to see these creations come to life, typos and all!

Becoming a Patron is completely optional. If you don't have the money to pitch in, that's OK. You can still help by spreading the word on Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus or anywhere else you see fit. And while there will be some Patron exclusive content, the comics that are created will eventually be released for everyone, either digitally, in print, or both!

Thank you for your support. I sincerely appreciate it.
~Charlie
