Welcome to day 4 of our introduction to THE UNDERGROUNDS. As I did yesterday, I will start with yet another character introduction. So far you have had the chance to meet Dracula, Frank, and the Wolfman. Who could possibly be left? Why, The Mummy of course!

Yesterday, I got the chance to introduce you all to two of the five writers that will be penning our comic. Today I want to introduce you to the other three writers that will be working on THE UNDERGROUNDS: Derek Johnson, Michael Fountain, and Marcel Losada.

Derek Johnson received his BA in English from Hamline University in Minnesota, and his MFA in screenwriting from Chapman University located in the much warmer Southern California. Derek is currently up in Hollywood, making movie magic, but he has taken time out of his busy schedule to write THE UNDERGROUNDS.

Michael Fountain has a BFA Theater Technology from Chapman University. Mike has written several plays as well as several short films, but to date, THE UNDERGROUNDS is his first comic book work. Mike is currently hard at work at a number of projects, but if you want to get in contact with him, he suggests you try his facebook page. He eagerly awaits pokes.

Marcel Losada has obtained his BA in English Education from Cal State long beach, and currently works at shaping the fragile young minds of the next generation. Marcel is also a newcomer to the field of comics but has a great deal of experience in poetry and short fiction. Marcel also has a deep love of all things food; when asked what food he enjoyed, he simply responded “Everything!”.

Tomorrow you get to meet the last of the regular characters on THE UNDERGROUNDS, and get to know series artist Daniel Touchet a little better. If you missed any of our previous character introductions, you can find them at the links just below.

Dracula

Frank

The Wolfman

Ladies and Gentlemen, I am pleased to share some very exciting news with you all. One week from today (that’s March 1st for all of you without a calender handy) Semantink Publishing will be offering a free weekly web comic to all titled THE UNDERGROUNDS.

THE UNDERGROUNDS is a comic strip that takes some of your favorite classic monsters, characters like Dracula, Frankenstein’s Monster, The Mummy, and The Wolfman (as well as everyone’s favorite vampire hunter Van Helsing) and puts them to work at a coffee shop.

The strip is written by Marcel Losada, Michael Fountain, James Ninness, Joe Pezzula and Derek Johnson, with art by Daniel Touchet.

Now that you know about our latest project, it’s time to introduce you to the characters you will be seeing there every week. Each of the monsters that work at THE UNDERGROUNDS recently filled out a very telling dating survey for Monster Match, and I thought I would share their answers with you. Today we get to learn a little bit more about Dracula:

From today until Friday I will be introducing you to a new character each day. Enjoy, and mark your calenders for next Monday and THE UNDERGOUNDS #1!
