Scout Comics/Geek'd Con

In 2014, Richard began creating independent comics using some of the scripts he had written over decades. He self-published Stabbity Bunny, with artwork by Dwayne Biddix, in 2015. This series was soon followed by Wild Bull and Chipper, Storm Pirates, Shadow Play, and Create-A-Comic.

After all the titles were added to Scout Comics and Entertainment’s lineup, Richard created another series, Stabbity Ever After. He is the head of the Scout Comics all-ages division, Scoot! Comics. This rapidly growing imprint specializes in kid-friendly publications and merchandise.

Richard has also been involved in the production, design and editing of numerous Scout and Scoot! Titles.
