From the days of my small-press comics work, today's post is the entirety of MATRIX #7, an 8-page minicomic I drew back in 1992 for Firebird Press. (Sorry about the lag between posts, BTW, but my workload picks up around the start of the holiday season and, to paraphrase the message-boarders at Ain't It Cool News, "Steve Roman gotta eat!" )

Matrix is writer/creator Sherman Burnett's series about a single mom trying to make ends meet while dividing her time between raising a daughter and fighting criminals. "Diamond is a Girl's Worst Enemy" is one of the few times I drew a story based on someone else's script, but working with Sherman was pretty easy since his script detailed what he wanted. Hey, better than trying to read his mind!

Last I heard, Sherman was still publishing Matrix, although this particular issue is no longer available (which is why I decided to post it here). If you’re interested in ordering copies of Matrix, or of his robotic super-team minicomic series The Energons, you can check out his site at: [link]

And before you ask, the entire thing was inked with Magic Markers. (That's right--go ahead and scream! You can't stop me!)
