Ellery Queen

Written by Tom Roberts

Last year I was approached to provide a cover for the Double Size fall issue of Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine. A number of my assignments in recent years have been for detective collections, and I was thrilled to have the opportunity to create an image for this long-running cornerstone periodical of the mystery genre.

I'm looking forward to additional assignments from them in the future.

Rip Kirby: The First Modern Detective

Written by Tom Roberts

I recently provided an introduction for volume 1 of the new IDW collection, Rip Kirby: The First Modern Detective, which collects the first two years of Alex Raymond's magnum opus of the daily comic strip medium.

The book is a handsome volume, assembled and designed by award-winner Dean Mullaney. Brian Walker (Hi and Lois), another top-notch guy, provided a historical text as well. I highly recommended the book.

Howard Chaykin is providing the introduction to volume 2. I'm looking forward to having the entire 5 volume set on my shelf.
