Today is the fifth and final day of our inside look at THE UNDERGROUNDS. The past few days we have gotten a chance to meet the baristas that work at THE UNDERGROUNDS. Today you get to meet one of the regular customers that frequents THE UNDERGROUNDS, Van Helsing!

I also wanted to share with all of you this piece that artist Daniel Touchet came up with that shows you all of the “scare-istas” that work at THE UNDERGROUNDS (as well as one cranky regular customer). Enjoy!

Over the past few days, you have had a chance to learn about the writers involved in THE UNDERGROUNDS, but today I want to introduce you to the artist involved with bringing the strip to life each week, Daniel Touchet.

Daniel Touchet was reportedly born with a crayon in his hand. Despite the complications you might think that would cause, Daniel turned out just fine, and of course had a predilection towards fine art. Daniel is also very proud of his collecting abilities, with a DVD collection that is somewhere in the thousands and a book collection that is almost as large. While THE UNDERGROUNDS is Daniel’s first professional work in comics, he has been drawing on any piece of paper he could find for years.

Thanks for stopping in the last few days to become acquainted with THE UNDERGROUNDS. The first strip will be on the semantink website March 1st, so make a date with your computer this Monday. If you missed any of the introductions from earlier in the week, you can check out the links below.

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.
