J.C. VAUGHN PLAYS DETECTIVE IN "CRIME SCENES: A MCCANDLESS & COMPANY READER"Posted By Phil! on Apr 25, 2006 - 1:18 pm
Protecting the integrity of a crime scene is of paramount importance for law enforcement officials. If a crime scene is contaminated before a Detective has a chance to go over it, the entire case could be blown. In the case of the crime scenes conjured up by writer J.C. Vaughn ("24: One Shot," "24 Stories," "24: Midnight Sun"), he hopes readers stomp through them with reckless disregard.
Vaughn's joined on "Crime Scenes" by a large group of artistic talent. "Matt Busch, who is primarily known as a Star Wars artist, did the original story, 'Dead Razor,' assisted by Shawn Sheehan," said Vaughn. "Chris Chua, who is an amazing talent and is doing a book called 'Liquid Fury,' did a brilliant interpretation of the script I gave him, 'Best of Times.' Ben Dale, another talented newcomer, did another short story, 'The Interview,' and brought his own style to it. Harry Roland, who did some seriously famous covers for 'Famous Monsters,' illustrated 'No Man Is An Eyelid,' which a lot of other creators have loved. And Gene Gonzales, who is no doubt one of the best kept secrets in comics, did two pieces. 'Insecurities' is a 48-page story that everyone has just flipped over. It's the last part of the book. He also did a short story, 'Be Your Own Charlie,' which is the first piece in the collection. While he's actually made a career doing things like illustrating text books, he also wrote and illustrated the highly regarded Tales of the Cherokee.
