'''Mark Barnard''' is the co-creator of the comic book ''[[Havoc Inc]]''. His various credits include work as an inker or writer on over 50 [[anthropomorphic]] books from the early 1990s on. Other continuing comics projects include (inker) ''[[Katmandu]]'' and ''[[Shanda The Panda]]'' as well as inks on two back-ups for ''[[Rhudiprrt]]'' and (writer) ''[[Lark & Key]],'' ''[[Owlhoots]]'' and ''[[Justice On High]]''. Mark has also written an original sci-fi series for radio (Operation: Deep Space), a number of fan pieces for anime' and Elfquest publications, and recently contributed sections to a new reference book on Mexican fantasy and horror films. Following his graduation from college, he also enjoyed a brief stint in stand-up comedy, writing his own material, before moving on to graduate studies.

Other activities have included initiating the successful push which opened the local PBS market to DR. WHO and other science-fiction and fantasy programming and introducing anime' to convention video rooms in the early 1970s. He also worked for 8 years, in various capacities on the planning of the ENCOUNTER sci-fi/comics conventions, which raised funds for the MS Association.

On comics writing vs. "serious" work, he sums it up as, "The fun in working on, say a film book, is the research. I'm big on digging up facts. Comics work, however, offers a lot more! For a storyteller, they offer more chances to get to print in a single year. Plus, they let me get vaguely silly with life. The whole point is for the readers (and myself) to just kick back and just have fun."

Mark divides his free time between film study (specifally low budget flicks and Chinese and German films), collecting anime' and cultivating bamboo. He holds a degree in archaeology (specializing in the Aztec, Anasazi and Hohokam cultures), certification as a digital analyst tech, and currently lives with his wife Terri, and a small but fiercely dedicated collection of die cast giant robots, in the wilds of Kansas, where he freelances. He is a major MARTIN MYSTERY fan.

Havoc Inc.

2006-03-04T17:45:29Z

Studio HULI:

'''Havoc, Inc.''', an offshoot of the [[anthro]] [[fanzine|'zine]] [[Midnight Sonata]], is a comic book concerning the misadventures of [[Chris Deck]] and [[Chester Magreer]] (characters copyrighted by writer [[Mark Barnard]] and artist [[Terrie Smith]]), as they attempt to operate a successful space freight transport service. At the end of a generations war, an overly abtitious Chester promptly invested "their" money into a reconditioned space cruiser, with the intention of setting the duo up in a reasonably above board business. Things began to detereorate almost at once, with the discovery that the ships mobile computer interface (Orb) has serious issues with its programming and the universe in general. Chester's understanding of effectively budgeting a business venture and picking the more secure assignments also contributed to what amounted to a corporate death spiral.

More often than not, life hits a relentless string of self-perpetuating snags which run a considerable gamut. At one end there's the well meaning interference of their adopted daughter, who feels the firm really should show some sort of profit for their efforts. This is in spite of Chester's spendthrift ways and occasionally fantastic outlays to cover damage innocently done by the firm.

Other complications include demented space pirates, ineffectual cosmic ninjas, the hopping dead, a shape changing and extremely lethal pseudo-Chester, masked wrestlers, and life in general.

Lark & Key

'''Lark & Key''', which ran in a British anthology title, concerned the exploits of Travis Key, a canine agent for Galactic Security. Upon apprehending a thieving hard going under the name of "Lark," Key fell into a series of escallating issues involved in trying to deliver the insanely optimistic Lark to a stern and much-deserved justice. For his part, Lark wasted no time in promoting himself as the detective's "partner," in the hopes of winning a technical parole.

Drawn into an intergalactic conspiracy, the duo found themselves on the run from the sinister Hawke, while they tried to discover the nature of a mysterious gadget Lark had filched. The series ended in mid-stream due to a formatting change at the publishers.

The script of ''Lark & Key'' was by [[Mark Barnard]] and the artwork was by [[Terrie Smith]], both of whom also created [[Havoc, Inc.]] for [[Radio Comix]].

Studio HULI: LARK & KEY

LARK & KEY, which ran in the Bristwh WILD SIDE anthology comic, conerned the exploits of Travis Key, a canine agent for Galactic Security. More to the point, the series concerned the problems arising after he (rather unwisely) apprehended the dread arch criminal Lark. This thieving hare was both cheerfully amoral and endlessly optimistic. In virtually no time he'd made himself Key's "assistant," and had high hopes of not really being jailed for the many crimes he'd lovingly carried out up to that point. Key was equally determined to unload the annoying hare at some cosmic jail and get on with his life.

When they were drawn into an intergalactic conspiracy, through the simple act of refueling Key's patrol saucer at a quiet spaceport, the duo found themselves on the trail of the mysterious Hawke and his even more mysterious masters. The series endied in mid-stream due to a formatting change at the publishers.

Script was by Mark Barnard and Artwork was by Terrie Smith, both of whom also created HAVOC, INC. for Radio Comix.
