Hey everyone,

My brother Shane and I have been working on our new comic series, "Reed Gunther" the story of a loud mouth cowboy, his bear, and a heroic "ranchess" (that's feminine for rancher... I think). They travel through a very wild west fighting all sorts of strange creatures.

Here's some links to art from Reed Gunther but you can also check us out at www.reedgunther.com if you'd like to learn more. We'd love to hear what you think!

Samples:

Thanks guys and gals!
Chris

That's a fine-lookin' comic. The colours in that first piece are gorgeous.

Chris Houghton · 11-05-2009, 07:17 AM

Thanks Howyadoin! We'd love to print the comic in full-color but since we're self-publishing right now, it'd just be too dang expensive.

Looking good. The style reminds me a little of a dutch comic artist.

Chris Houghton · 11-05-2009, 12:23 PM

Thanks Pro, any idea the name of that cartoonist? I'd love to see his/her stuff.

Hi everyone!

Thanks for checking out some Reed Gunther stuff here, but if you'd like to read the entire first issue, it's available in full at the Reed Gunther site!

Thanks!

There's so much good independent stuff out there now, and this is yet another good one...

There's not enough hours in the day to appreciate it all properly.

WeAreGoingToEatYou · 11-06-2009, 07:16 PM

This is pretty good stuff. How long have you and your brother been making comics, Chris?

Chris Houghton · 11-08-2009, 09:53 AM

No worries Pro, thanks.

Thanks Persona!

Hi Rabbit- there IS a lot of great independent work out there and we're glad you count Reed Gunther in that group. Thanks!

Thanks WeAreGoingToEatYou (please don't!) Shane and I have been making comics together for about a year now but have always worked on goofy projects together. We've been brothers for as long as I can remember...

Hey everyone,

I also wanted to post a few reviews that Reed Gunther has received from Comic Book Bin as well as CBR in case you'd like to read a little bit more about the series.

Comic Book Resources reviews Issue 1, "Reed Gunther and the Steak Snaking Snake!"

Comic Book Bin also reviews Issue 1, "Reed Gunther and the Steak Snaking Snake!"

Comic Book Bin was even kind enough to review Issue 2, "Reed Gunther in a Stalac-TIGHT Spot!

Both issues are available for $3 each here!
