Upcomic SPLITTER Comics MAYA and DARK ZERO in late 2023!

My whole life I have been shaped by one medium in particular: Comics! I've worked in comic book development a number of times over the past few decades. Among other things, as an artist for the new Tales from the Crypt comics by Papercutz, after the legendary former MARVEL Spider-Man editor Jim Salicrup contacted me and asked if I would be interested in drawing one of the stories. Of course I didn't say NO :) A second story by Joe R. Lansdale followed. But despite some of these "excursions" into comic production at other publishers, I never really managed to develop my own comics at the same time because of my work in the GAMES area. UNTIL NOW! 

I have developed two new series. MAYA and DARK ZERO. I had already developed MAYA as a webcomic a few years ago, but now it was completely rewritten and implemented with an international creative team. DARK ZERO is my love letter to the old STAR WARS films and everything that makes science fiction / action / adventure stories so fascinating to me. Both comic series will be published in album format by SPLITTER Verlag (in Germany) and can already be pre-ordered before they appear at the end of 2023. Please note both series are not for kids!

If you want to follow direct inside information from me on a regular base on all my actual comic and game projects, please feel free to check out the McPeppergames DISCORD here:
