Michael D. Davis

Michael D. Davis was hatched in the late nineteen hundreds. His origins rumored to be a carton of Grade A Jumbo’s was, in reality, more mundane having been born and raised in a small town located somewhere in Iowa. Descended from a flock of criminals, farmers, lunatics, oddballs, kooks, crackpots, and strangely the bigfoot Michael somehow turned out to be a semi-normal child. (Though some think of him like a rotten egg.) Grown up, he’s considered an odd cluck by the locals as he goes around town in a top hat, tie, and hand painted shoes. Michael started drawing cartoons when he was just a spring chicken of the age of ten, and his skill has improved with his humor, which isn’t saying much. He is for the most part self-taught, only ever crediting the help of one great high school art teacher. His art has been shown at his local library for multiple years only during October due to its odd macabre nature.

The Bloody Whorehouse Detective Agency

The first volume of The Count Whorton Collection, brilliantly written and illustrated by Michael D. Davis, harks back to the slick days of Nick and Nora Charles, while being set in a skeevy modern world. His tales, concerning a fascinating wayward detective with his courtesan lady friend along with a host of colorful characters, remain unpredictable, and in that, Davis has reanimated the detective genre in a unique way. His cartoons are exquisite and spot on. The accompanying cartoons provide an exquisite bonus. Fans already await volume two.

Available in paperback and ebook.
