How to Get Started Reading My Work
Finally, a guide to help me, help you, give me more of your money.
First off, you’re doing the right thing.
Great choice.
It’s never too late to get your shit together and put your life in order.
The journey of a thousand miles begins with buying something from my Etsy shop.
My name’s Tony McMillen, I have been writing novels as well as drawing and creating comics for about 10 years.
So, at this point I have a bit of a library and it feel like it’s a little tricky to know where to start.
Don’t worry, I’m here to help you give me money.
Serious, I got you, dawg.
I’m right here, in fact, I’ll always be here.
To help you get me money.
But if you want to try and read some of my work without shelling out money, here’s a Reduced Lunch menu of free comics work on my site:

Great, now that the poor people have vacated the golf course the rest of us yacht owners can discuss trading currency like gentleman.
The Works:
Attaboy
This is the gateway drug for a lot of folks. Originally released about 3 years ago after a Kickstarter, "There's a video game from when I was a kid that no one else seems to remember."
Attaboy is a 74 page action adventure comic disguised as an illustrated instructional booklet for a video game that may or may not have ever existed.
And this is the comic which I have recently signed a contract with a publisher for it to be re-released into comic shops everywhere next year!
Friday the 13th Bootleg comic
“Everyone knows Jason Goes to Hell in the Final Friday but what my new fan comic presupposes is, maybe he didn’t?”
Get an original Friday the 13th sketch by me and I will send you an absolutely FREE fan comic I made called Friday the 13th Part IX : The Last Mask.
This 20 page full color comic acts like an extended movie trailer for a ninth installment in the series that takes the place of Jason Goes to Hell, The Final Friday and returns Jason Voorhees to Crystal Lake; even picking up directly from the baffling ending of Part VIII Jason Takes Manhattan.
This is a bloody, trippy, loving tribute to one of pop culture's most enduring boogeymen.
Serious Creatures: Reel One, Trade Paperback
A 212 page graphic novel about a teenage special fx artist growing up in the Hollywood movie industry of the 70s, 80s and 90s.
Picture a story with the decades-long scope of Boogie Nights or Goodfellas but about the fx grunts you heard about in Fangoria magazine.
This is my most literary, funny and conversational comic. And I’m currently publishing single issues of the second half of the story (issues 7-12)
Lumen
Collecting the first four (semi) giant sized issues of Lumen, "Level One: Fallen Stars" is a dizzying introduction to a world of endless night and a hero with a lantern.
Also an Apple Owl.
Bounce House Bazaar
A 48 page anthology one shot featuring four new stories from Tony McMillen, Nicola Bonometto and Ben Granoff.
First up is a new 18 page story by Tony McMillen introducing Grapeshot, Man of Lethal Leisure, in his first lurk and merc, sexy crime adventure.
An Augmented Fourth
“If Black Sabbath starred in John Carpenter’s The Thing.” My 2nd prose novel, a funny and freaky, rock and roll horror story about a bass player trapped in a snowed-in hotel where someone isn’t human.
The Bleeding Tree Trilogy (Higher Climbs the Fire, Scratch Witch Hymns, Songs From Scissor City)
THESE BOOKS SHOULD BE READ LOUD
NOT ALOUD...
LOUD
A folk rock fantasy western that reads like Mark Twain’s Dune, The Bleeding Tree Trilogy.
In a future primitive where most of the Old Electric World has been lost, Mal Leatherberry is a folksinger cursed with an uncommon singing voice. A voice which holds an otherworldly sway over almost everyone who hears its song.
