The Really True Myth
of Double Fine Action Comics...


Once upon a morning, way back in 2002, Scott C stumbled into work at Double Fine Productions. On that particular morning, he decided to get extra inspired and draw a comic to warm up the creative side of his brain. It depicted a two-headed baby (also known as 2HB) and a knight doing not much of anything. Scott quickly got into an amazing groove, drawing a new comic every morning, just to see where the adventure with 2HB and the knight would go. Tim Schafer, founder of Double Fine, suggested to Scott C that he never stop doing comics every morning. In fact, he was so excited about the idea, that he empowered three other Double Fine artists to join him with their own adventures: Nathan Stapley, Razmig Mavlian, and Mark Hamer. Every, single day these dudes would make comics and upload them to doublefine.com. And the world was made amazing.

And that Foreword Writer,
Tim Schafer...


Tim Schafer is one of the few men in the videogame industry to marry intelligent humor, imaginative storytelling and brilliant design for the perfect three-way of interactivity. His games during his tenure at LucasArts, including Day of the Tentacle, Full Throttle, and Grim Fandango, garnered him the respect of gamers everywhere. Upon founding his very own company, Double Fine Productions, in 2000, Schafer put his creativity into overdrive, giving birth to the groundbreaking Psychonauts in 2005. Next up: a heavy metal odyssey called Brütal Legend, featuring the voice of Jack Black, set to unleash holy hell on next-generation gaming consoles everywhere very, very soon.


That's all!
