Variant Covers
For Vault Comics
At the time of this writing, Nov 6, 9AM. In the year 2025. I am currently listening to Whiskey and Wimmen by John Lee Hooker’s finest. I am required to wear new progressive glasses, which I hate. I was awoken by a screaming 6 year old last night and a kitten who licked my face at 4 AM. I am quite tired, but went on a 30 minute walk and plan on getting BBQ from a texas steakhouse with a buddy. I have to stay quiet because my wife, Julie Bean is does live jewelry design shows in the other room 3 times a week and my cat wants to eat the birds in the feeder outside my window….
And at this moment, (see what I did there?) I am a part of a crazy amazing project.
Vault Comics and author Matt Dinniman’s Dungeon Crawler Carl: Crocodile campaign has officially leveled up into crowdfunding history. Closing Monday with more than $2.3 million raised and over 23,000 backers, the campaign now ranks among the top four highest-grossing comic book crowdfunding efforts ever, while also becoming BackerKit’s most funded and most supported comic campaign to date.
We are in overtime mode with over 8.6k people on the backer train keeping the project alive and breaking even more records! Over 25, 000 people will be getting into this comic and project. Head over today and join us and see what we’re doing. It is something special. I can’t tell you how happy, excited, and blown away by the love for what I am adding to Matt’s universe. I even get an exclusive cover for the webtoon book being produced.
Now for something completely NOT different. The fine folk at Vault comics asked me to do some variant covers for them on 2 other projects! I can’t thank them enough for allowing me into their worlds and getting to play.
First up, I got to do a cover for Big Rig #4.
Looks like these are CVR D - 2 in 25 Silver Variant in the Big Rig (POST MALONE’S BIG RIG #4 10-COPY VARIANT BUNDLE BOX, LIMITED TO 2,500)
I may have some copies, more on that later…
Easier to find and collect is my Barbaric Cover Variant! Please tell your local shop to add it to your pull list! ( I will have 3 covers for this series). Keep an eye out for them all.

Thanks for reading!!!!









Let's keep that train going!
Crushing it as always man I love it! Especially the life updates that are always fun to read hah. Really hoping I can snag at least one of the Big Rig variants as I've really enioyed the comic and would love to have yours! But will definitely be grabbing Barbaric for sure. And of course I cannot wait to get my DCC stuff in, including one of the color sketches which I was incredibly lucky enough to grab a spot for!
