Ever wonder what kind of man Crispin Grey (aka Void) really was?  Was he brave, evil, cruel, sly, craven?  You are about to find out!

He stands ready in loyal service to HRH King Charles II! Meet CAPT Crispin Grey of the Royal British Navy, 1666!

BEHIND THE SCENES: In reality, Pier Mola was a famous 17th Century Italian painter.  His painting of a Barbary Pirate (below) serves as the inspiration for the pirate in this tale.  Piracy was a huge threat to Europe in the mid-17th Century.  King Charles II ordered several highly successful campaigns against them to make the sea lanes safer for English commercial vessels!

At long last, I am so very excited to bring to you VOID #7: GOD SAVE THE KING! This issue will feature art by Omaik Blanco (see VOID #3: SUFFER A WITCH!) with letters by Przemyslaw R. Dedelis.

This amazing, jaw-dropping cover is courtesy of phenomenal comic artist, Mike Rooth! Mike is a well-known artist from Ontario, Canada who has worked on some of the biggest characters for the biggest companies in the business.  When I asked him to do this cover, he went above and beyond and has delivered one of the most compelling drawings of one of my characters I’ve ever seen.

Here's an example of one of Mike's stellar pieces featuring "The Black Cat" from MARVEL COMICS!

Here are the original pencils before he added the colors:

Thank you, Mike, for sharing your immense talent with me and the readers of … VOID!

As for the cover subject, who is this obviously pregnant beauty?  Why is she so sad?  How does she and her soon to be born child fit into the story of VOID? That’s what this issue is all about!

The origin of VOID is so big, it can’t be told in one issue!  So this issue is actually Part 1 of 2! I hope you are as excited about reading it as I am about telling it!

I also have more good news!  Beginning Monday, 20 May, I will publish VOID three times per week! Yep, you’ll get a new page each Monday, Wednesday and Friday! So you won’t have to wait so long to see what happens next!

Thanks to all of you for your support in helping me get to this part of the story!  Prepare to go back in time with the man we know as VOID and see what changed him from the man he WAS to the tortured and enigmatic soul we know today!

I hate reading old love letters,

Write Poetry with VOID on FaceBook!

Okay, so Void may be hard as Hades on the outside, but it looks like he’s got a soft spot on the inside!  At least Peter thinks so!  But why did he rush to be alone in his office again?  Do you think he is capable of writing poetry?  This question may seem strange, but it’s all about to make a GREAT deal of sense to you!!!

Daddy? Is that really you??? I've missed you so much!

I don't know exactly how he does it, but here is Void's handiwork again! As a special bonus, here is a look at the official pardon of Johnny Fontaine, ordered by no less than Her Majesty the Queen, and signed off by Sir Sean Connery! So in the heart of Georgia and the official records of the British people, Johnny Fontaine's name has been cleared!
