WM COMICS By William Myers

About Me

Quirky - Fun - Retro-Inspired!

William Myers. Londonor - Comic book Illustrator, Researcher and Creator...That's Me! Brings to life a series of comic books, graphic novels, comic strips and Gag Cartoons which are strongly inspired by retro pop-culture, comics, advertisements, home-media and nostalgia. To support the speciality of comics WM Comics, I also provide a 'Popping Party' of creative mediums - these would include poster designs, typography, action-figures, toys, board games, motion graphics, concept art, character design, perspective drawings, GIFs etc.

WM Comics is also a place of research as I also has the desire to research about the history of comics worldwide in the near future in a publication series. This would include the works of the first comics of the ages, American comics through it's golden - silver - bronze - dark and modern ages, British comics with their wacky but some what crude titles and how they merged through pop-culture and European comics with their lineup of titles and cultural events and monuments.

I live in South East London and enjoy hobbies such as travelling, bodybuilding, reading comics and books and playing poker...on the odd occasion.

3. Motion Graphics

The production of motion graphics through my brand of WM Comics has suitable benefits which includes the advertisements for current comic book, graphic novels and products via social media platforms. Engaging target audiences.

4. Character Design

Character design is an important element within the practice of comic book production, as one of the key reasons for this is because they serve as a foundation for creating stories and bring scenes to life.
