THE NEARLY INFAMOUS ZANGO - Online Exclusive!
by Rob Osborne

The name Zango was once synonymous with super-villainy in Metrotown, but now he’s just a malcontent couch potato. In bunny slippers and bathrobe, Lord Alfred Zango, Jr. gorges himself on junk food and fumes over the media attention that other super-baddies receive. Zango wants to be the most notorious—the most infamous—man alive. But he doesn’t want to leave the house!

SUNSET CITY: For Active Senior Living
by Rob Osborne

Sunset City is a typical retirement community. Its residents enjoy golf and gossip and they all seem content to fritter away their golden years. Except Frank McDonald. A retired widower, he wrestles with the question: Why am I here? Reading the newspaper, Frank keeps up on the minutiae of the day; it provides a buzz to an otherwise humdrum life. One morning, Frank is overcome by a startling story, and he does something extraordinary: He takes life by the balls.

1000 STEPS TO WORLD DOMINATION
by Rob Osborne

A ward-winning writer/artist Rob Osborne wants to conquer the world, and he wants to do it through comics. Seriously. Delusions of grandeur or tyrannical genius? His wife just rolls her eyes. God provides divine insight. A monkey chimes in with unwanted feedback. Resistance is futile!

24 HOUR COMICS DAY HIGHLIGHTS 2006

The Old Man And The Pants, the fastest comic Osborne has ever created, was written and drawn in less than twenty-four hours. The Old Man And The Pants has been selected for the prestigious 24 Hour Comics Day 2006 collection.

The idea for Osborne's twenty-four hour comic experiment is also the inspiration for one of his newest works. Old Man is a collection of stories about an aging fisherman's misadventures. The Old Man sees the tops of the clouds and the bottom of the sea, and he lives to tell the tales.
