and "Floydd the Giant-Killer" will be printed in
Negative Burn,

book shops. To the right is the cover image. Click for a
larger image. The printed version, of the story, "Medusa", itself, will be in black & white, with only the cover in color, but I present the fully painted color version here on my website, below.

Medusa -- glutton for a challenge, I set out to try and create a masterpiece -- maybe hubris, pride, etc., but ya can't say I lack for ambition -- whether misguided or not, isn't for me to judge -- you tell me. What I won't tell you, is just how many hours, days, weeks... I spent on these six pages -- don't ask -- I ain't tellin'.

Floydd the Giant-Killer Sort of an antidote, for my psyche more than that of potential readers, to the serious tone of Medusa. I just needed to create something I found humorous after all the despair and fatalism, so having a giant step on a guy was just the thing.

This story was published in the Heavy Metal "Taboo Special" -- spring 2001.

This one saw print in the September 2002 issue of Heavy Metal.
The title refers to Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte D' Arthur, The best know collection of Arthurian tales. Personally, I prefer earlier versions of the stories, but partially quoting Malory's title served this story's intention.
