Some old stuff...

I dug up some old Zombie Tales stuff published by BOOM! Studios

First is "HE AIN'T HEAVEN, HE'S MY BROTHER" (note the play on words).

by Bill Mesner-Loebs, Matt & Mikey Cossin & me.

Second is "I DON'T LIKE HENRY CARVE".

By Ian Brill,Toby Cypress & me.

Notable Quotables:

"Marshall does not just lettering the pages. He brings out the sound by designing the bubbles, matching the fonts, and creating sound FX that goes with the art so that you can hear the characters and listen to the scenes!"

-Erik Ko

Udon Entertainment

"Marshall's the type of guy who keeps pulling out new talents and areas of expertise based on whatever the job demands. He's smart, timely and has superior follow-up. A joy to work with - I wish we could clone him."

-Ed Catto

Bonfire Agency, LLC

"Marshall Dillon's lettering skill, timeliness with delivery, professionalism, and abilities with prepress management make him an excellent go-to guy for any publisher."

-Joseph Illidge

"Marshall is my favorite letterer in the business. His dedication to the craft and also to the projects he manages puts me at ease every time we work together. It's folks like him that make being in this business so great."

"Marshall is, without question, one of the most knowledgeable and resourceful creators in the comics industry. I've worked alongside him on staff and we`re collaborating on an independent project now. Beyond being an excellent letterer/designer, Marshall can draw upon his experiences as a publisher, writer, and editor. He`s done it all, and done it well. There are few people I trust and respect as much as Marshall."

"If I were starting a publishing company tomorrow, Marshall Dillon would be at the top of my "must hire" list. He's got that rare combination of practical knowledge, relentless dedication, exacting craftsmanship, no-nonsense acumen, and, most importantly, the heart of an artist."

-Phil Hester

Writer & Artist

"I miss my days working with Marshall. He can be at the same time a precise letterer, a lifesaver editor and a friend (even it's only online because I live in a far away jungle). When he asks you to do a job, he knows exactly what you can do. He knows why he's working with you (and that's very important)! And you know why you are working with him: simply because he is this great person."

"Marshall Dillon is, hands down, the best letterer I've ever worked with. He carefully builds proper reading flow into each comic page and then creatively adds extra touches to enhance the art and storytelling. On top of that, his work is always professional and punctual. Lettering is the last stage of the comic creation process and Marshall always ensures that crucial final step is top notch."
