Got An Axe To Grind

At the suggestion of a ghostly assassin dubbed “Dead Grant”, Ninja Dan has trekked across Eastern Europe to arrive at a gypsy camp where he hopes to revive a mysteriously incapacitated Eben07.
Declassification Notes
My only clickie for this is that you gotta check out Jason Zuckerman’s process on the comic at his blog : http://jasonzuckerman.com/?p=695
Eben07 in Dreamland:
It’s kind of weird to run a 30-strip storyline on Eben07.com that has its main character, Eben07, unconscious for nearly all of it. With that in mind, even though these comics are official declassifications of I.C.A. case files, we felt that a comic called Eben07 needed to have some more Eben07 in it. That’s why he and I sat down and talked about what he remembered from his mystic slumber. When it came to drawing them, we felt it would be really cool to outsource these dreams to other talented friends of ours, to be left to their interpretation. Even though I illustrated the first two, which were simply collages from his various dreams, we were able to sign up the fantastic team of Stephen Lindsay and Lauren Monardo from Inspector Ham & Eggs and, as we are seeing right now, Jay Zuckerman who gave us this culiminating, four part adventure. If you ask me, Eben07′s imagination is already high-octane while he’s conscious. When unconscious, it becomes unhinged. I hope you all have enjoyed this trip down the rabbit hole into Eben07′s magic-fueled fantasies.

SWEET! Ya know, I think Eben should rock that beard 24/7
Yeah – the beard is pretty slick. I don't know if I could rock one without being under constant worry that it would get caught in the secret document shredder I use at work.
The Chiseled Abs I think I could work on though — if only Wii Fit was a little more aggressive at targeting my core.
As always, love the comic. Keep up the good work, dudes!
Thanks David! We're fans of Legend of Bill as well – so we appreciate the sentiment quite a bit!
Very fast paced… lol… Can't wait for the next events. Great work… ^_^
Look for them next week on Tuesday and Thursday. That will conclude the Jason Zuckerman guest art, and then we return to normal Tuesday with D.Bethel's hand!
Wickedly done! I love the attention to detail…
Jason's detail honestly gets even better in the next two! They are incredible!
I have to say, this has been pretty epic guys… Look forward to the next strip!
This is amazing pal! Love the cartoon design. And especially your site design!
