25 years ago today, SPIRITED AWAY premiered.

Isn't that neat?

Anyways, I thought I'd do a little doodlin' to celebrate.

(...the older I get, the more I empathize with that boiler man.)

Description:

Left Illustration: An illustration of Kohaku from SPIRITED AWAY in his dragon form. His body is coiled at the top as his neck and head extend away from the rest of himself downward. Text reads in English and Japanese 'SPIRITED AWAY'. As well as 'Studio Ghibli, 124 minutes, 2001' The colors are flat shades of blue, off white, and maroon.

Right Illustration: An illustration of Kamaji from SPIRITED AWAY. He looks to the camera from his perch manning the boilers. The glow from the fires spreading across him and his room, casting a large shadow. Text shows the title for SPIRITED AWAY and 2001, the year of its release.

I rarely post about my own work here and have been feeling like I should do a better job of that. So here is a look at an upcoming comic book series that I wrote, The Foundry: In Peril on the Seas, a Victorian-era adventure that takes place in the world of Mike Mignola's Hellboy. The line art is by Christopher Mitten with colors by Michelle Madsen, and the story features characters introduced in the pages of Witchfinder and Hellboy: The Silver Lantern Club, chief among them the heroic Major Karam Singh.

The first issue goes on sale August 12, 2026. For the full press release and more details, go here.
