My friend and former Daily Nebraskan co-worker Van Jensen has posted a new mini-comic he wrote and illustrated. The first volume in his “Nebraska” series, which is based on his experiences growing up in the panhandle, is entitled “The Hunt.” I really like it, and it’s a quick read. So check it out.
Van’s writing career has taken him down a few different paths since he left Nebraska. He worked for a while as a reporter at the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, and lately he’s been doing some work on the comic book industry. He’s the author of Pinnochio: Vampire Slayer, a graphic novel coming out this fall from Slave Labor Graphics. Comic veteran Mark Waid described it as “the greatest thing I’ve read all year.”
