Having discovered comic books in 1980 at the age of 14, I recall that my first purchase of a comic book was Marvel's Moon Knight number 1, because I thought the Moon Knight Charater looked cool on the cover (God I loved Bill Sienkiewicz's art). I began to frequent Comic Book World in Florence, KY. The Store owner Paul Mullins introduced me to a world that caught me and held on with a deathly tight grip until my mid twenties. After 10 years of buying, reading and trying to copy the art I saw, it paid off and I landed my first stint as the "Lettering Guy" on a few independent comics(Infinity Tales, House Of The Dark Secrets, Small Joe). A year later I penciled a two page back up story (Gonzales Lives!) in the final issue of Infinity Tales. I went into private commission work via ebay and some other online venues until a few years ago. Now I am taking the advice of the pros I have met (Tim Bradstreet) or know personally(Joe Martin, Jeff Smith and David Mack)and have started this studio with the hopes of showcasing my talents with a title of my own.

Jesse Galaxtic
Im Jesse Galaxtic. Young, awkward, funny looking, different, comic writer. I absolutely love writing,
thinking, oranzing, reading, and living. I'm not really confident in alot of things I do, but writing
is perhaps the only talent I'll admit too. I'm currently working on a graphic novel titled Beyond Thunderball.
I believe with the right dedication and teamwork on it, could possibly be the new epic comic for todays
readers. Only problem is that I dont have an artist O.O
so Im inviting artists from wherever to show me their art, and Im hoping that I can team up with one of you
to create this comic dream of mine. You can reach me at my page on myspace or you can email at 
ideajesse@yahoo.com
thanks for reading!

Ray Mullikin
Ray Mullikin was born in San Luis Obispo and moved to Cambria with his family when he was four. His father was a maintenance supervisor at Hearst Castle and his mother worked an Elementary School. He is the eldest of four children, two boys and two girls. Mullikin has been interested in drawing from an early age. Here is what he said was the reason he got into cartooning: "Most of my life I wanted to be a cartoonist, which basically has roots during the time I was in Kindergarten. It was close to Halloween and our class was working on an art project for Halloween. I remember spending a lot of my time on my art project, trying to make it exceed what I considered to be the art teacher’s expectations. I don’t know if it actually did or not, but the teacher gave a compliment on my artwork. This boosted my pride and I considered drawing a talent that I should be more focused on. This shows how a few simple words made by a teacher or parent can have such a deep impact on a child’s life. It certainly did for me. I’ve been drawing ever since." For many years of his youth Mullikin spent submitting artwork to businesses in Cambria, resulting with many of his drawings in the Cambrian in the advertising sections. One of his drawings in Middle School was even used by the Cambria Youth Center as their logo. In high school he made short animated films for many of his classes trying to squeeze extra credit out of his teachers. A couple of his films have been shown in Independent Film Theaters. After highschool he has published cartoons in magazines, Newspapers, and e-cards in the US and Canada. The most noteable being “The Tumbleweed Trail” which lasted for several issues of Bluemoon Comics magazine. In 2005 he published a couple comic books called Quackup starring his most known comic character Jonathin Quackup. In 2006 he published a comic-styled children’s book called “2 Many Parakeets”, a goofy comic-book-styled children's story, starring two crazy parakeets featuring bright and colorful cartoon-style drawings set against soft-focus, almost impressionistic backgrounds. In May 2007, Ray released the first issue of his magazine series called "Raytoons Cartoon Revue", taking in comic book writers and artists, whose art and writings would be rejected by larger comic book companies. The magazine would also be a place for creators to advertise their work in any way that they choose.
