David
Salomon
was
born
in
Bremerton, raised in San Diego, grew up in Arizona, and spent his formative years in Japan. He went to college at UC Davis where he met the love of his life, and knew that it was the best thing that could ever happen to him. His love for comics is what drove him to create this book, and he feels like the luckiest person to know that Jennifer shares his love for fiction. His favorite sound on earth is when Jennifer giggles in delight.
Jennifer Tuason was born and raised in the foggy locale of Daly City. She attended UC Davis where she attracted a young, charming man named David with her skill at sciences. While she is quite a short person, her heart appears to be larger than anyone else’s. She has a wonderful smile accompanied by a dimple and she is a sucker for chocolate chip cookies. Jennifer is the most thoughtful person you could ever meet.
The stories in this book are based on true events. Names, characters, places and incidents are memories of the author’s and are not used fictitiously. Any resemblance to actual events or locales or persons, living or dead, is entirely on purpose.
To my baba, who showed me what life could be like if I smiled twice as much.

ARTIST BIOS David Salomon is a man in love. Stephanie Lantry is not only a co-founder of Conjoined Comics, she is a an excellent wedding ringsmith and adept companion for police box time traveling. All of which are handy in a gunfight. Charlie Robinson will no doubt pass his inexplicable love for Savage Dragon and Havok onto his offspring. He was also the secret behind the Mavericks recent championship season. Dave Metran slaps the bass for Soundover Silence. He has faced a horde of gorram reavers and survived to tell the tale. He is also a connoisseur of awesome things. Randall Trang’s roundhouse kicks are equally as deadly as his pencil fu. His badassery level rivals that of Jack Shephard, the “Macho Man” Randy Savage, and Scott Summers combined. Israel “Nowhere Man” Escudero: Spanish International superstar. So popular he hardly had time to work on this book. His amazing page was created in 50 nanoseconds. Hamilton Pingol: Renaissance man. Book binder. Artist. Designer. Photographer. Ahi poke maker. Drinking partner. He is the man behind this book and it is going to be legen- ... wait for it... and I hope you’re not lactose intolerant because the second half of that word is...
DARY!
