About Richard Moore

Boneyard voted Rue Morgue Magazine’s “Best Graphic Novel” for 2010

Hello, and welcome to my webpage. Many of you already know me and my work, and have been prodding me to get the web thing going for quite awhile. For everyone else, my name is Richard Moore, and I’m a writer and illustrator by trade. I started out in comics because of the storytelling potential (there’s no such thing as “not in the budget” when you simply draw anything you can imagine). My first series, Far West, is still surprisingly popular today. I’ve done numerous one-shots and miniseries through a number of publishers, but I’m probably best known for Boneyard, a horror-themed comedy series about a regular guy who inherits a cemetery inhabited by a group of misfit monsters.

These days I’m transitioning into children’s books, something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. I’m very excited about some of the projects I’m working on. Check in regularly, I’ll be posting samples and works-in-progress here.

Comics-wise, I’m the middle of my latest series, Gobs, which covers the ongoing antics and adventures of a group of goblins who build their own pub in the hollowed-out body of a dead giant. The emphasis is on humor and outlandish situations, but like Boneyard and the rest of my work, Gobs has an emotional core that I think will really resonate with readers. It’s coming from Antarctic Press at the end of June, 2011.

As for fun stuff like T-shirts, mugs, prints, etc., I’ll be linking from this page to deviantArt and Cafe Press. If you have any suggestions as to what kind of merchandise you’d like to see offered, please let me know. For anyone looking for original art, I’ll be linking to Space Goat Fine Art, and of course you can always contact me directly for commission requests.
