Trevor A. Mueller is a comic creator/writer from Chicago. His latest projects are NEXUS POINT and RE-POSSESSED (Webtoon Originals). He is the writer of the multi-Harvey Award nominated ALBERT THE ALIEN. He has contributed stories to several anthologies, including READING WITH PICTURES (Andrews McMeel), KILLER QUEEN and WHAT FRESH HELL IS THIS (Red Stylo Media), BEST OF OMEGA COMICS PRESENTS (Pop! Goes the Icon), and AW YEAH COMICS.

He has also self-published several other works including CONSUMER, BEYOND THE PILLARS, LOS OJOS, and THE WITCHES OF E WICK BLVD.

Los Ojos It’s John Wick meets John Constantine: one man with two guns fighting his demons both literal and imaginary! Andres Sanchez is a hitman for hire with a special ability - when he looks people in los ojos (the eyes) he doesn’t see them as human, he sees them as angels or demons. He believes demons walk among us disguised as people, and he uses his ability to select his targets, only killing those he thinks are monsters. But lately he’s started to question if his special sight is showing him the truth, or if he’s just crazy.

My next guest is Matthew Schofield! Matthew is the current director of the Simpsons where he has spent the last 25 years! He is an artist, animator, director, writer, and creator. His comic book Steamroller Man has garnered a cult following the past few years and we are finally getting a physical edition!!

Right now you can get your copy of issue 1 on Kickstarter! Use this link to get your copy now https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/steamrollerman/steamroller-man-1-an-absurdly-funny-superhero-adventure?ref=discovery

What is Steamroller Man about?

When he's ever-so-cleverly disguised behind a pair of giant glasses, no one in Kurtzberg City suspects that mild-mannered, mega-cephalic Steve Rollerman is really the barrel-headed beacon of bravery, Steamroller Man! When the candy-obsessed villain Manny Cavatese, AKA Sugar Daddy, creates a Gingerbread Golem to break into a bio-tech lab, threatening scientist Paige Wan and her colleagues, Steamroller Man rolls into action!

Inspired by The Tick, DC Comics' beloved 1980s Justice League run by Giffen, DeMatteis, and Maguire, the 1960s Batman TV show and the gonzo 1970s-era of Marvel comics, Steamroller Man is the perfect comic for fans of all ages who like their superheroes with a comedic spin!
