My name is Ed Power. I do a comic strip for King Features called ‘My Cage’. It done by myself and artist Melissa DeJesus (who some of you may rember form TokyoPop's ‘Sokora Refugees’).
Recently we created a second project: “Dracula vs. Santa”
It's currently in competion at Zuda Comics, right now until the end of March 2009. You can check it out here:
http://www.zudacomics.com/node/1074
Here's the description:
“Dracula wants the North Pole, with its six months of darkness, for his new home. Only one thing stands in his way: Santa Claus! Now it’s naughty versus nice for real as each man gathers their allies for all out war! And this time…it’s seasonal!”
It's really funny with beautiful art, so feel free to check it out. Plus, here are some instructions if you feel like voting for it (or any other strip over there this month):
