Periodically, Midimococo will highlight the work of a mid-Missouri creator with a short interview about their current projects.

Rob Davis — featured creator

Posted on September 18, 2012

Local creator Rob Davis is a freelance artist of many capabilities. Starting his carreer in the 1980s, he’s drawn pages for many companies including Innovation Comics, Malibu Comics, Marvel Comics & Caliber Comics. His latest work is the recently released Robyn of Sherwood graphic novel. You can check out his main website or follow his blog.

What are you working on now comics-wise?

As an artist I’m working on a couple of short 6-8 page stories for a comic I publish called All-Star Pulp Comics. One story features a new Pulp character in the Solomon Kane ( a Puritan age sword-weilding avenger) mold called Gideon Cain. The other is Robin Hood tale. The book usually has 4-6 short stories in it depending on whether everyone who’s promised to contribute can do so in a timely manner. I hope this second issue will be out by the end of 2012. I’m also a print-on-demand publisher of comics via Ka-Blam and IndyPlanet.com via my Redbud Studio Comics imprint. Mr. Jigsaw, a Ron Fortier/Gary Kato creation, and a graphic novel called Daughter of Dracula that Ron wrote and I drew and lettered were published there as well as a couple of other books.

Comic jams

During each Midmococo meeting, we create create what is known as a comic jam. One person begins by drawing a single comic panel and passing the page onto someone else, who draws the next panel. There is no planning involved and we never know how it's going to tun out until we reach the end of the page. Check out our last few jams.

24 Hour Comics Day comics

Cartoonists all over the globe take the 24 Hour Comics Day challenge of trying to create a 24 page comic story in 24 straight hours. Midmococo participates each year as a group. Below are some links to a few of the comics created at the event

24 Hour Comics Day 2008

24 Hour Comics Day 2008 was a huge success. It was hosted by the Columbia Art League in their excellent classroom space. We had a record turnout of 16 participants and most stayed the entire 24 hours. You can see photos, video and press coverage on our follow-up post.

Thanks to our sponsors!

24 Hour Comics Day 2007

This year, our 24 Hour Comics Day event was held at Quinlan Keep in Columbia, Mo. We had a great turnout and even though it was homecoming weekend, we got some pretty good media coverage and pictures. A few of the finished books have been scanned and put online for your viewing pleasure.
