About Howie - HC Noel is an artist, a writer and an all around amazing creator. From illustrations to caricatures to the stories he tells, he's a talented individual we're thrilled to have on the show. His work includes titles such as...

Mr. Scootles - When two college students watch a cursed film reel starring the forgotten 1930's cartoon character Mr. Scootles, they unknowingly set off a chain of events that could lead to Hell on Earth. Featuring a cast that includes a beautiful skirt-wearing demon, a bloodthirsty professor, a warrior angel, Judas, and the Devil herself. Mr. Scootles is a mystery-filled tale that is a tribute to the art of animation and its creators.

Vincent - Meet Vincent. He's a brilliant painter and a brilliant murderer. Watch him create as he destroys. Each copy of this book is handmade and comes complete with a Vincent mini-scarf bookmark. Just about as cool as a mini-comic can get!

Tara Normal (Webcomic) - Tara is a licensed paranormal investigator who solves the bizarre, otherworldly mysteries that haunt each episode using her inherited supernatural abilities.

In each small town in America, unexplained phenomenon occurs every night. Hauntings. UFO reports. Elvis sightings. The one person best suited to solve these mysteries is an extremely intelligent teenage girl named Tara Normal, whose greatest gifts are a host of paranormal abilities and a quick, deadpan wit. Daring to investigate super secret government warehouses even after her curfew, no task is too dangerous for Tara Normal.

Through her investigations of the extraordinary, Tara hopes to one day solve the greater mystery of who her birth parents are, and whether or not her abilities played a part in their decision to give her up for adoption. Guided by her mysterious spectral friend, the Shadowman and encouraged by her adoptive father, magic store owner Abe Normal, Tara's ultimate quest is for the truth.

Each time Tara proves a ghost story is real or confirms the existence of extraterrestrials she feels vindicated by knowing that the world is full of wonderfully uncategorizable people and things. It validates her pride in her abilities and her lack of shame about embracing what is considered strange by society.

Tara's spooky adventures first lead her to a quiet farm in western Pennsylvania where she seeks to uncover the facts behind a simple farmer's claim that aliens are raiding his pet cemetery. Her next case brings her back home to Maryland to investigate the cryptozoological mystery, the Goatman, and its connection to a young couple mysterious murdered on Crybaby Bridge.

As her investigations continue, she will have to face a werewolf, pirate ghosts, more aliens and her toughest adversaries of all, skeptical adults. Her search for the truth brings her closer to danger when a mysterious FBI agent with evil intentions discovers Tara has a connection to the paranormal other than simply investigating its mysteries.
