Well, I guess it's really going to happen. As I work on the production end of publishing, the solicitation for Ragmop has appeared under Big Bang Inc on page 250 of the current Diamond Previews. Fun, fun, fun. Reality comes home in October. Hope to see you there... In reality, that is.

Writer, Director, Actor, Cartoonist, Publisher, Storyboard Artist, Movie Extra… Who is Rob Walton? Hailing from the frozen tundra of East Toronto, I’ve been working in the Animation Biz since 1991 when I joined Nelvana’s design department to do my part in bringing fifty-two episodes of Beetlejuice to television. In 1994 I began storyboarding full time. I became an Assistant Director in 1997 and made the move to Supervising Director in 2000 on Nelvana’s “Committed” starring Eugene Levy and Catherine O’Hara. As well as my work in animation, I have written and drawn several comic book series, most notably, “The Devil’s Hammer” a Grendel Tale for Dark Horse in 1993, and my own self-published political and social satire, “Ragmop,” from 1995-1997 for which I earned two Eisner Award Nominations. I am currently re-editing and updating Ragmop as a single volume, 350 page graphic novel for publication in October of 2006. I have written four un-produced screenplays, two un-produced television pilots for animation, one novel in progress, and countless wayward comic book scripts for Marvel and DC. Needless to say, I take rejection well.

Any chance that it will be available in bookstores or through Amazon?
I have no idea how graphic novels reach the bookstores or Amazon in the US of A. You can definitely order through John Rovnik's Panel to Panel website at

and I'm sure by October I'll be able to have set something to buy the books from me.
