About me: Dernwerks Comics is a publishing company started by Dern J G (or Darren J. Gendron for long). A graduate of Shasta High, Shasta College, and Chico State, he’s now in Maryland. Yeah, that part doesn’t make sense.
His first comic, created with Rob Zailo, is the Expert’s Guide to How to Kill Things That Go Bump in the Night.
His second project is www.DearPirate.com. It’s an advice column, like Dear Abby, where people send in questions looking for advice. But instead of something from a trained professional, they get advice from a pirate.

It’s The Expert’s Guide on How to Kill Things That Go Bump in the Night!
It’s at www.ExpertComic.com.
Who I'd like to meet: As a comic book creator, I’m always looking to meet other creators, as well as fans of my work. I’m currently booked drawing my own work, with www.DearPirate.com and Pants on Fire, so I’m always looking for other artists interested on signing on for other projects. Also, I’m more than happy to critique and help budding artists, as well as throw advice at writers.
Thanks so much for being a friend! If you're in the DC area on November 1st, I'm fighting at the Patriot Center. Come check it out! Enjoy your week and thanks again!
Hey, my MySpace friends, TODAY is the day! Don't miss Xeric winner "Jazz: Cool Birth," in September's Previews order book at comic shops today, under Aazurn Publishing!
Because "Jazz: Cool Birth" is inspired by '50s album cover design, transporting readers into 1957 jazz clubs, we're hearing interest from musicians and music lovers. Since "Jazz" is a murder mystery, mystery readers are also intrigued. Add to that comic book readers that enjoy Xeric grant winning indy books and we expect a rush of orders from September's Previews.
So many readers like you are enjoying Aazurn. com's done-in-one comic book short stories we are encouraged to continue to offer single story books! Thanks for helping us prove comics can be good, adult reading!

I know this is kind of a cut and paste message, but every year the amount of friends and fans I've made grows. So if you haven't checked out the strip in awhile, this is the perfect time to jump back on the bandwagon!
