WILKEY WAY PRESENTS
Comic book artist Oscar Jimenez is best known for his work on The Flash with Mark Waid, with whom he co-created the supervillain Savitar. Oscar has also worked with other legendary scribes such as Garth Ennis, Grant Morrison, and Chris Claremont. This is the cover to the upcoming Wilkey Way Presents anthology comic featuring characters I have created, such as The Conjure Man, Bill Bored, Polly Graf, Scorpius, and Stigma. Wilkey Way Presents will be our calling card, with stories featuring these characters and more, as well as information regarding film, music and mental health awareness projects.

TONY
'Tony' was a nickname given to ABC cameraman Yasutsune Hirashiki because it was easier to yell on the battlefield in Vietnam. I knew him as Mr. Hirashiki, father of my best friend. This treatment is based on his book On the Frontlines of the Television War: A Legendary War Cameraman in Vietnam chronicling the ten years he spent covering the Vietnam War alongside fellow journalistic legends such as Ted Koppel, Peter Jennings, and Sam Donaldson.
Geeks & Gangsters
Jerry Siegel & Joel Shuster created Superman when they were in high school. They sold the character for $100 to Harry Donenfeld, a publisher of pulp magazines with alleged ties to the mob and Jack Liebowitz, an accountant and fellow owner of National Periodical Publications, which would later become DC Comics. This first draft of this treatment draws heavily from Men of Tomorrow: Geeks, Gangsters, and the Birth of the Comic Book by Gerard Jones along with elements from a play entitled Geeks and Gangsters — A Comic Fable. The next draft will remove those elements to focus solely on Jones's book as well as a book entitled Super Boys : The Amazing Adventures of Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster - The Creators of Superman by Brad Ricca.

Slice of Heaven
Slice of Heaven
Slice of Heaven began as a comic book submission for Oni Press. It was not accepted which turned out to be a blessing in disguise because I have since decided this story belongs on the screen. Slice of Heaven is an action film about a female Army medic who winds up in dire straits due to a technicality in her status as a combat veteran. She finds a home with the owner of a strip club, whom she must protect from a local drug lord with ties to her past.
