Chapter 3 is now live! This chapter brings the origin story to a close and establishes the direction moving forward. From here, the story begins to take shape in a more familiar rhythm—centered in its primary setting and expanding its cast, including a new pair of villains. At seven pages, this is the longest chapter so far and adds several key elements that will carry into what comes next. Enjoy!
Chapter 2 has now been posted. This chapter has been fully recolored from the original art, with some added background elements to help bring the world to life. It introduces the Samurai, one of the earliest villain concepts I created. Looking back, their design was heavily inspired by the anime Yoroiden Samurai Troopers (Ronin Warriors). If I were creating them today, I’d definitely push for something more original, but this project is about preserving the story as it was, while refining it where I can. So here they are, exactly as they were imagined back then—just with a fresh coat of paint. Enjoy!
Chapter 1 of the comic is officially up. The art for this chapter was drawn almost 30 years ago. Unlike the chapters that follow, this one existed only in pencil, so I went back and inked and colored it—doing my best to match the look and feel of the rest of the early material. This is the beginning of a much larger story. Like many of these early chapters, it moves quickly, covering a lot of ground in just five pages, but it lays the foundation for everything that follows. I also updated the script throughout to better capture what my younger self was trying to express at the time.
This marks the beginning of this site, featuring the Ninja Boy Chronicles comic. This site (and the comic) are a work in progress. My intent is to continue building and streamlining the content as time goes by. I admit to being quite nervous about posting this online for the world to see, but it also is very nice to have a home and haven for this material that I’ve worked on for so long.
