"The penultimate Kirby-style giant monster comic. (I don't believe I've ever actually used the word 'penultimate', and I'm pretty sure I've used it incorrectly, but I like the way it sounds.)"
Mike Mignola

Stan Lee

Daniel Clowes

"Doris Danger's many things, a comedy, monster theater, adventure, sure, but most of all it's a tragedy in my eyes…"
Jhonen Vasquez

"...mainly for the fact that I can't help but be depressed about real life not being this awesome."
Jhonen Vasquez

"Chris Wisnia endures, grows fans, and improves in leaps and bounds. He’s a singular voice in a crowded market of imitators and super hero addicts."
Sam Kieth

"Doris Danger makes me laugh out loud..."
Jeffrey Brown

"A fantastic hoot! Great pin-ups, too..."
Dave Gibbons

Kelley Jones

Stan Lee

"...hilariously ridiculous... Don't miss it, O' True Believers!"
Scott Shaw

"I thot it was the best comic book I have ever read in my entire life!"

Joe Sinnott

"AHHHH so much monster goodness!!!!"
Kelley Jones

"You want a quote? Just write something that sounds like I said it-- but make sure I like it, because I do. The giddiness of this stuff is contagious."

Doris Danger

Order Doris Danger: GIANT MONSTERS Amok from Fantagraphics (#FEB231405)

I am a card-carrying skeptic with a deep fascination with people’s beliefs in the supernatural, and the lengths ordinary people sometimes go to justify mistaken beliefs. I also harbor an enormous love for the 1960's giant monster comics of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. These two interests come together in my comic "Doris Danger’s Giant Monster Adventures". Doris is a photojournalist who believes she was abducted by a giant monster as a child, and now travels the globe attempting to prove their existence.

Diary of a Struggling Comics Artist

I have a day job, a wife and two kids, a mortgage, and the delusion that I can make a living in comics. I haven't managed to find my following or get to that "next step." What I have done is collected conversations with some of YOUR favorite comics creators about the struggles we've encountered in choosing this profession, for my YouTube series, "Diary of a Struggling Comics Artist"!

Published Work

Doris Danger is my current online project, but the print editions, as well as all of my other, similarly eccentric comics like "The Lump" and "Dr. Debunko", are available for purchase at your local neighborhood comics store, and here online!
