Inky Stories

Welcome to this curated collection of comics created by Hartford's favorite artist David Marshall. Most of the works short, self-contained stories. Genres include satire, horror, romance, sci-fi, and crime fiction, with a smattering of history and autobio. As an all-around comic book creator (writer, artist, letterer, colorist, designer), Marshall has been published by Fantagraphics Books, SpiderBaby Graphix, FantaCo Enterprises, Boston Comics Roundtable and Riverbird Studios. He's also an in-demand panelist for Arisia, Boskone, Massachusetts Independent Comics Expo, Boston ComicCon, and various sci-fi geek conventions. Marshall occasionally teaches Art of the Comic Book, his college-level studio course on making and developing visually narrative art.

  • Silver Age Printing Emulation 
    Using today's digital tools to recreate the feeling of yesteryear's 64-color CMYK color palette, Ben Day dots, spotty ink coverage, and missed registration on aging newsprint paper.

Inky Stories at New York ComicCon 2014
Got enlisted to Gaspar's Posse, hung out with Denis Kitchen, got free lettering help from Tom Orzechowski and Chris Eliopoulos, and sold a few Inky Stories while squatting a con table. Possibly my best convention since WonderCon 1999.

Silver Age Printing Technique
Without the dots, ink gain and absorbent newsprint, the colors are louder than intended. This was discovered during the economic and technological shift of the 1980s, when publishers actually printed 64 colors on nicer paper.
