Empire State Patrol is a project I dreamed up in the summer of 1999, when I was looking at two things simultaneously: one of those things was Lewis Wickes Hine's famous photographs of the workers at the site of the Empire State Building, 1929-1931. The other one was a collection of Buck Rogers Sunday comics pages from the early 1930's.
 

It got me wondering about what would have happened if a bunch of those same construction workers found themselves in the middle of the sort of adventure they'd have known from their comics and pulp magazines - and if all goes well, you'll have a chance to find out.

Empire State Patrol is intended to be a series of ten comic book chapters, and it resembles the work you see in the 'Retropolis" side of my online store. It's a mammoth undertaking. There is a huge amount of pre-production work still to go - but one of these days, when the first chapters are done, it'll be getting its very own web site with previews of those pages, production notes, and maybe even a blog.

Want to see it? Buy something! Otherwise I'll be delivering pizza long before it's ready!
