Ryan Richards, being pronounced a stillborn
kicked to life and took his first breath after being placed in a scale for
stillborns that they keep for statistical reasons. The scale in question was located in a Hospital in Lake
Tahoe California, had his mother squeezed a little bit harder he would have
been born in Nevada, this may explain his dual nature of despising guns in
urban areas but looks forward to going out in the middle of the desert and
blowing the living fuck out of inanimate objects.
The fact that he spent his early years half
deaf did not stop him from pursuing a career doing audio in theatre. A number of surgeries, tubes, and
incantations repaired his hearing and now being 40% deaf gives him a clear
advantage over the 90% deaf average of people in his field. He has worked with and toured with a
great number of theatres including The Guthrie Theater and toured as the sound
guy for Mikhail Baryshnikov. Currently
the Ordway Center for the Performing Arts in St Paul has been foolish enough to
keep him in their employ.
Travel has played a large part in the
creation of his mindset. London in
particular, which he found to be surprising similar to the Hellblazer comics
and Danger Mouse cartoons that formed his mental London. This is where he buckled down and
really started writing comic book scripts, releasing all those disturbed little
visualizations that he is now applauded for, instead of having to spend an hour
a day with the school counselor for Òthreat assessmentÓ.
After a few experiments his first limited
series he ever wrote is coming out soon through Brain Scan Studios, Carson
City with art by Natalie Sandells is going to stomp itÕs way out on paper and
into the minds of the people who happen to read small press, black and white,
psychedelic punk crime stories.
The statistic gals here at Messiah Complex Central calculate the number
to be roughly 186,000¬ in the first year alone!
With pitches going out to any one whoÕll
listen and more creator owned projects ready to come down the chute, including Circle
and District and The Offensive. Ryan is ready to crush the souls, minds, hopes and ideals of
his readers into a foamy icy drink that will not only refresh you but give you
false positive on any drug tests taken in the next twenty-three
years.
