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 back to my week long look at Semantink’s new web-comic, THE UNDERGROUNDS. In the past few days we have all gotten a chance to meet several of the characters from THE UNDERGROUNDS by way of their Monster Match profiles. Monday we got to meet Dracula, yesterday we were introduced to Frank, and today we get to become acquainted with the Wolfman:

Now, I also promised a little more information about the talented people working on THE UNDERGROUNDS, and since I am no liar,  today I want to give you all a little information about two of the fabulous writers working on this project, Joe Pezzula and James Ninness.

Joe Pezzula got his BA in English from the University of Albany, then went on to get his MFA in scriptwriting from Chapman University. Joe has mainly worked up in Hollywood the last few years, but has decided to take his first shot in the field of comics with THE UNDERGROUNDS. If you want to read some of Joe’s short stories, you can find them here. Joe also loves pie and homemade meatballs. Don’t get between Joe and his meatballs.

James Ninness is a name that you have heard of if you visit this site often. James received his BA in English: Creative Writing from Cal State Long Beach, and is also the writer of Semantink’s inaugural title, MYTHOI. However, no one project can keep James occupied, so he got involved with THE UNDERGROUNDS (not to mention a great deal of other projects I am not at liberty to talk about). If you want to check out James’ work on MYTHOI, you can read several issues for free here or if you want to check out some more of his musings, you can check out his blog, The Word Ride.On a more personal note, James likes sushi eaten off of brightly colored midgets.

Check back tomorrow for more on THE UNDERGROUNDS, and if you missed out on meeting Dracula or Frank, fear not I’ve put links in just below.
