    Evil Alive in Megazeen Convention Special 2005 (2005)
    A sci-fi 'Twilight Zone' type of story, done with the artwork of Veli Loponen. My first attempt at a full comic script (even if it is only a three-pager...which might have been the problem - too much story to cram into three pages), which was met with many a head scratched. I did some annotations to it, but those didn't seem to do much for it's readability. There are some other good stories in there, so it's still worth it!

    About Steve MacDonald
    Hi. I'm a comic-book writer, recently having worked on a graphic novel (ongoing, should have the script complete by Summer's end), a one-pager for an anthology magazine (megazeenonline.com), two entries for a contest (UPDATE: neither submission won, but the judges decided not to choose any winner, which was one of the options they presented coming into the competition, so it wasn't that much of a surprise...but was a little surprise. I may take one or both of them and do something on my own, though), and coordinating a large crossover of indie Christian comic creators. I also write about the industry at Undercurrentcomics.com and maintain ChristianComicBooks.net, which lists reviews of current and even older comics created by Christians. I'm a semi-frequent reader and semi-frequent poster at ChristianComics.net, which is a forum for Christian comic creators and fans. I've also had the privilege of being part of the Christian Comic Arts Society since 2005.

    I'm a born-again Christian, husband, father of three awesome kids, and eclectic polymath. I enjoy helping other creators with their projects (when I have time between my own!), whether it is with an artist trying to get ideas for him/her to work on, collaborating with other writers, critically editing other's written work, or just giving my own spin on their ideas (take 'em or leave 'em).

    The Quest for Christmas   12/23/2006 - 4:14 PM
    This was initially a reply to Bob Luedke's post about the Christmas season, which you can read on his page, but my reply isn't contingent on his post, so I'm posting it here for others to read if they never get to Robert's page. Thank you, Robert. ... (login or sign up to read more)
