Paul Daly
“Hi, I’m Paul Daly and I approve this bio. As a working freelance artist for over 30 years, I could give you a laundry list of things I’ve worked on but let’s just stick with what is pertinent. For the most part, I’ve mainly done role-playing game art (you know, Dungeons and Dragons, etc.), a smattering of comic book work and a host of other things.
”Back in the 80s, Don Secrease and I created a group of scientist-adventurers, The Terranauts, who came together to investigate the paranormal. This was prior to Jurassic Park, Stargate and the X-Files, all of which had similar elements to our stories. Only one official comic book was released but years later we revised the adventure and moved it into the 1950s so we could better emulate the movies we loved back in the day. You know the ones... The Attack of... The Beast From... etc, etc. The strip appeared on the newly minted internet on a couple of sites and has evolved into our current venture.
“At the same time we started the Terranauts, I was doing role playing game art for several titles and companies. Some of the titles, like Space:1889 and Deadlands, were steampunk before that genre was coined. Out of that, I created my own Victorian Age character, a British major named Tempest. His adventures set on the back burner while I did other things, like writing the original incarnation of Athena Voltaire, which was nominated for an Eisner Award. But with the rise of the steampunk genre I decided to dust off the adventures of my intrepid Major and get him back in the game.
”And that’s where we stand. I do hope you come along for the ride...
“Now let me tell you of the days of High Adventure....”
