Bryan Clauser, The NINJA — from Nocturnal
Hello Fellow Junkies!
It probably will come as no surprise to any of you that I am a major Sigler Junkie. I have been addicted to the FDO’s stories since he was just ”Scott” – long before he was promoted to the Generalisimo!
Earthcore, Ancestor, Infected, The Rookie — I have been hooked all along.
And now — Nocturnal!
I love the story of The Ninja, Pookie and Marie’s Children — just like you
I have been craving my hits of Nocturnal every week — just like you.
I wait every week for my next hit – just like you.
Unlike you, though, I’m a week ahead! 
So when Scott sent me Episode #36 and asked me to draw a picture of The Ninja, I was totally jazzed.
Did you wonder what Bryan Clauser was drawing on the mask in Episode #35?
Here ya go –

I hope you like the drawing. I KNOW you’re gonna LOVE Nocturnal #36!
Please let us know what you think. Would you like to see NOCTURNAL, the Comic?
Hmmmm?
See ya soon.

PS – If all of this “Junkie”, “Generalisimo!” and “Ninja” talk means nothing to you — You are probably here because you love Black Jack Justice. Don’t worry — we’re not totally crazy. It will all make sense (somewhat) if you visit http://www.scottsigler.com/
PPS — I’ve read Contagious, too. Jealous yet?

Nice depiction. Thanks for the pre-launch art. I’m looking forward to more. Now…how about a bonus piece of the Red Panda?
Mark Hester @ 10:44 pm
BlaqueSaber,
Sounds like fun. We Love the Red Panda and Flying Squirrel and they are coming — rest assured.
Thanks for the kind words.

You LuckY Bastard!
Hopefully the General will get rid of you in his ascension.
Anyways, Cool art and YES I NEED nocturnal on comic! is is 4 real!
PAZ!

Get rid of me??
That’s not very nice.
I’m sorry if some of the comments in the post above sounded a little “Smart Alecky.” That wasn’t our intention. The FDO and I were having a bit of fun getting this ready — despite being on opposite sides of the country. Much beer was involved and I was as surprised as anyone that the post was actually there and working the next day.
Reading it over — I probably wouldn’t have written it quite the same way — but whatcha gonna do?
I would have also make a great Pookie joke when I said I was excited. What a missed opportunity. “Totally Jazzed” Jeeze, how lame.
Blame the Blue Moon.
As for the Nocturnal Comic… Yes, of course.

Yeah baby! Freakin’ awesome artwork Mark! I can’t wait for the comic! Thanks for taking the time to share the great pic.

Thank you for the kind words. This drawing was fun.
You’ll be happy to know that a Nocturnal Comic IS in the plans. I won’t be doing it — but I am doing The Rookie — with starts on the 16th.

Ooh! Good one! My daughters LOVE The Red Panda. I’ll be looking forward to that one!
Mark Hester @ 7:12 am
Possum (or Mr. Cowboy),
Thank you for the kind words.
We’re BIG fans of the Red Panda also. We’re DEFINITELY doing an adaption — just waiting for all the pieces to fall into place.
Over on the Brand New Black Jack Justice Blog I have posted a small drawing I did of the Flying Squirrel you and your daughters might enjoy.

Let me know what you think.
One more thing — You didn’t mention how old your daughters were, but I’m assuming fairly young. We are planning a ‘Sister Site’ that will do some ‘kid friendly’ stories. We not sure if there is enough interest (in Addictive Comics doing it — not the concept.) We will be asking for opinions soon, so please watch for it.
Thanks again,
Mark
