Bobby’s other works include Lance Star – Sky Ranger, The Sentinels Widescreen Special Edition, Domino Lady, Full Throttle Space Tales Vol. 2: Space Sirens, and The Sentinels: Alternate Visions just to name a few.
Bobby recently answered a few questions for us as part of the newest feature at ComicNews.Info, “Checking in With…”, in which we ask some of our favorite creators a handful of questions related to comics.

What comic related projects are you working on right now?
Right now I’m working on getting a Lance Star: Sky Ranger comic book series into production as well as getting started on the next pulp anthology featuring the character. I’m also working on a couple novels that I should finish soon and start shopping around. And I’m doing a western short story. I’m also doing press and promotion for some books that just came out, including Sentinels: Alternate Voices (White Rocket Books), Full Throttle Space Tales Vol. 2: Space Sirens (Flying Pen Press), and Domino Lady (Moonstone Books).
What goals, both short and long term, have you set for yourself at this stage in your career?
My short term goals are to get my work out there and into the hands of the readers so I can establish myself. My long term goals are to get my work to the widest audiences possible. I would love to write full time for a living. I’d also like to get some experience writing for TV and movies as well down the road.
Looking to the future, where do you see the comic book industry five years from now?
Hopefully, in five years the comic book industry will be thriving. I think there are some great characters out there and some truly talented people who will continue to tell amazing stories. I hope I’m still writing comics in five years.
What’s the most rewarding experience you’ve ever had while working in the comics industry?
Well, nothing tops your first professional work seeing print. When the first issue of Demonslayer I worked on arrived I was ecstatic. I’ve also been very fortunate and received a lot of positive feedback on my work. That people enjoy my books is very rewarding.
What is your dream project?
I’m not sure I have a dream project in mind, but there are definitely some characters out there I would love to take a crack at one day. The Fantastic Four and Supergirl spring to mind. And I’d like to think I’ve got at least one good Star Trek and Stargate story in me.

Bobby is so busy he failed to mention a project he is doing with artist Jason Flowers…
You’re absolutely right, Richard. Can’t believe I forgot to mention that. Jason and I are working on a horror graphic novel called Bloody Olde Englund. The art I’ve seen from Jason so far is absolutely fantastic. Check out Jason’s MySpace page where he’s posted some art samples from the book. Great stuff.
Thanks again for the interview, Gary. Much appreciated.

I would love to see what you can do with Supergirl, Bobby. She needs some reinventing.
Thanks, Belkis. I appreciate the vote of confidence. Last year I wrote a short Supergirl sample for some artist friends of mine to draw for portfolio reviews and it really reignited my interest in the character. I think she would be a lot of fun to write.
