About Me

I'm a freelance comic book writer. My first comic book, a four part series called ArchEnemies , came out earlier this year. It's the story of a superhero and a supervillain who don't realize that they're roommates in their secret identities.
Check it out:
You can buy the individual issues now or pre-order the complete graphic novel (due out January 24th) at tfaw.com .
Here's a trailer for the graphic novel:
If it seems like I'm skimping on details here, it's only because I've got a whole website to look after at DrewMelbourne.com .

My Interests

writing, reading, comic books, philosophizing, watching TV, movies, web design, gaming, fighting crime, exploring uncharted star systems, foiling nazis, cryptozoology, creating artificial gravity with giant spinning donuts, lying professionally

I'd like to meet:

Whoever. One of the fictional characters from my comic has over 800 friends, so I'm cool with only knowing four people.
Give me a week, and maybe I'll be more desperate!
