"Born Bulky" Comics

Heads Up Productions presents Born Bulky, the Greaseman comic book miniseries! I asked author Joe Hollingsworth to send me an introduction to this page since it features his work exclusively. This is what he sent:

Greetings, Greasaholics and Ninomaniacs, and welcome to the Born Bulky comics series! This portion of Greaseman.org is brought to you by Joe Hollingsworth of HEAD'S UP PRODUCTIONS in Westminster, MD. I would like to thank Steve for providing the forum of Greaseman.org to showcase the Born Bulky series.

It has been a longtime dream of mine to produce this series. Over the years, there's been numerous obstacles thrown in the way of the Born Bulky comics. I've had to take a lot of detours to get around these roadblocks.

The Internet has become the new venue for the display of many new comics creations. Born Bulky now takes it's place among the great comics series appearing on the net. Since it's debut on Greaseman.org, Born Bulky has generated an influx of e-mails from the core of fans of the ring-dang-do. Many of these e-mails had one FAQ: How can Born Bulky be obtained in print?

Right now, efforts are underway to bring Born Bulky to the comic book outlets. Since February 2002, Head's Up Production has been casting about for an independant comic book publisher to bring the series to print. It's an uphill climb, yet the quest continues. I hope to know something soon.

AMF, Joe Hollingsworth

Head's Up Productions is a home-based freelance art studio, owned & operated by Joe Hollingsworth himself (pictured at right). Head's Up provides illustration and some graphics work for both business and private parties. This includes works like murals, caricatures, cartooning, portraits, house pictures, etc. Since 2001, Joe has been engaged as an art instructor. There are both private and group sessions available.

In 1994, Joe published a sci-fi comic book miniseries entitled "Savage Worlds". That series had a core of loyal fans but didn't make enough money to continue past the initial six part story. He's still writing and illustrating other stories for comics on the side, but he would like to see the Born Bulky series succeed before he ventures any further with other material

Joe sent me a newspaper article about him printed printed in the Carroll County Times in 1994. Click here to read it:
