I’ve been a fan if writer/artist Mike Grell since the 80s, first on Starslayer, then on Warlord. My love of his work was cemented with Jon Sable Freelance. I’m glad that he’s recently started publishing his own creations via Kickstarter. The Pilgrim is a bit of an oddity for him, written by writer/actor Mark Ryan. It’s a contemporary-ish supernatural thriller, and this first volume is not only gorgeous, but a lot of fun. #thismakesmehappy #books #2020reading #comics #pilgrimcomic #mikegrell #mikegrellart https://www.instagram.com/p/CFdT03YBSRO/?igshid=2v4wkwiq3v4p

In the third issue of Jon Sable, Freelance, cover date August, 1983, a part of his past was revealed. The illustrator for his children's books Myke Blackmon was given a manuscript by Sable's agent Eden Kendall called "A Storm Over Eden". Reading it, she learned Jon was competing in the 1972 Olympics and ranked 4th in the Pentathlon. He met and fell in love with gymnast Elise McKenna who was competing for Kenya, Africa. During their first date, the Munic hostage crisis happened. After the Olympics, he returned to Africa with her. The two were married and he became a Hunter Guide. They had two children. After a few years he found himself hunting a group of poachers and killed one of them. He was asked to become a Game Control Officer. Not long later, the poachers came to kill him, but he wasn't home so they killed his wife and children instead and burned down his house.
