Alpharetta, Ga. (March 12, 2004) – He has wowed fans with his work on LEGIONNAIRES, GEN 13, and STAR TREK VOYAGER. And he’s one of the most sought after artists at conventions. So, after becoming one of the most talked about artists in 4-color comics, what does Jeffrey Moy do? He takes a step into the world of black and white publishing to contribute an exciting tale of battling beauties to SHOOTING STAR COMICS ANTHOLOGY #4.
Jeff originally debuted the “Video Game Gals” concept back in 1996 and 1997 as a few pinups in the ASHJAM ASHCAN, but it makes it official comics story debut in the pages of SHOOTING STAR COMICS ANTHOLOGY #4.
“I knew I wanted to draw some female characters, like I always do, but what?” said Jeff. “Getting inspiration from the many Japanese fighting games that spotlight women as the main characters, I thought it would be a neat idea to create some for myself. Taking elements from television and movies, my concept is a mixture of TRON, REBOOT, QUANTUM LEAP and SLIDERS. The format would offer me a great variety of stories to do and hopefully keep it entertaining for the readers.”
The result is a beautifully illustrated story filled with action from beginning to end.
“When I became editor of Shooting Star Comics,” said editor-in-chief Sean Taylor, “my first priority was to con, beg, or blackmail Jeff Moy into working with us in some capacity. I’ve been a fan of his work since I first saw it in LEGIONNAIRES. So, imagine my surprise when I got lucky and didn’t have to con, beg, or blackmail him at all.”
In addition to writing and drawing the “Video Game Gals” story, Jeff also drew the cover to SHOOTING STAR COMICS ANTHOLOGY #4.
“Powerful and definitely eye-catching” said creative director Scott McCullar. Jeffrey did a fantastic job capturing the various characters from our quarterly anthology with a special focus point of his character, Amber, for our cover of issue #4.The other fan-favorite characters growing on the readership are there too on the group shot cover – the always eclectic Bedbug, the rough around the edges Yellow Jacket: Man of Mystery, the luscious Fishnet Angel, even the Victorian aged Time Meddlers from guest writer Michael Hutchison’s mind are there with their bowler hats.”
McCullar is ecstatic that Jeff Moy joins the ranks of our growing list of professional artists who are illustrating, “…knock-‘em out of the ballpark covers each time for Shooting Star Comics,” he said, “and it is even sweeter to know that his electric art is ALSO INSIDE the book also with the energetic “Video Game Gals. We’re glad to have him onboard our growing ranks as a guest.”
“Video Game Gals” appears, along with other exciting stories from Shooting Star regulars, in SHOOTING STAR COMICS ANTHOLOGY #4, on sale in May 2004 in fine comics stores everywhere. For ordering information, see page 318 of the March issue of Previews from Diamond (order code #MAR042760).
