Review blurbs about Gary's work:
"There is so much to reveal and explore with this story. I have become enchanted and swept away into this story and will be anticipating more of the "aura of mystery" that surrounds this comic... I am in awe".---Paul Dale Roberts, Jazma Online Reviews

"The best parts of the book involve the characters contemplating their lives. There's a haunting scene about halfway through the book where Lilith talks about the burning of Leningrad during the Nazi attack on the city that's reminiscent of the best of Neil Gaiman."---Jason Sacks, Line of Fire Reviews

"Gary Reed has certainly crafted a truly horrifying story, full of engaging characters, terrifying menaces and an overwhelming sense of hopelessness".---Paul Milligan, World Heavyweight Comics

"He sure knows how to pace his story and I have been enjoying the freshness he puts into every single character".---Kenneth Gallant, Broken Frontier

GALEN SHOWMAN
Galen, like so many other comic artists, got his start at Caliber Comics.  He was part of the "pack" of creators at Caliber that included David Mack, Brian Bendis, Mark Ricketts, and Michael Gaydos. A long time friend and assistant to P. Craig Russell, Galen has worked with Russell on most of his recent big projects but still has found time to illustrate his own work including Devil’s Footprint with writer Scott Allie that has appeared at Dark Horse Comics.  Galen's work has appeared in comics and books that have been nominated for six Harvey or Eisner Awards.

Notable titles: 
JLA: Age of Wonder, Hellboy, Star Wars, Ring of the Nibelung, Elric: Stormbringer, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Clowns (Pagliacci),   Big Book series (DC)-contributions to six volumes, Sinergy, Jinx Charity Special.
