Gather around, fellow comic book fans, and prepare yourself for the latest entry in my saga of creating comics. And like a lot of stories these days, we’re going to start at the end (got to have a good Frame Story to see where this is all going). Today I’ll take you on a journey through the genesis of my latest comic, The Immortal Resurrected. Make sure your oxygen tank is full, because we’re about to embark on a space odyssey that spans my entire comic artist career.
My name is Darryl Knickrehm. I’m the comic artist for Simulation Theory, Feeder, The Argus; writer/illustrator of The Immortal Resurrected, Lost Souls: Haywire; and full time gaijin. You can call me Darryl, or what people call me around this neck of the woods: Dariru. Because I live in Japan. I’m originally from the sunny shores of Orange County, California, but somehow found myself calling Japan home. How did I end up here, you ask? Well, grab a cup of your favorite caffeinated diuretic and settle in, because it’s a story filled with twists, turns, and a loooot of self-discovery.
