When Dark Horse Comics gave me the chance to create my own comic years ago–a very rare opportunity at the time–I jumped at the chance to build a vivid, sci-fi setting, and a gifted, troubled young bounty hunter plying her trade through a violent, complex world. Mercy St. Clair’s stories begin in the twisted streets of New Gelaph, but over time carry her farther and farther afield, until she becomes a central player in forces at play in the distant stars . My plan is to tell a life story that stretches out over a long series of action adventures where the character’s journeys are both inward and outward.

It was an ambitious and not particularly commercial plan at the time. But I thought it was cool then, (and do so even more now) and, bless them, Dark Horse was a willing partner. We put out a solid run of books, and then I had to move on for a while to other projects. Over time, I woiuld return to the adventure of Mercy St. Clair whenever I could– through short stories and stand-alone tales. But until now that has been a pretty sporadic output. Which was frustrating to me as the creator, and a disservice to both the over-all Trekker story and to her followers.

All that has changed with the appearance of this website.

Trekkercomic.com has now re-presented all these original stories in order, many of them in their original black & white, with later tales told in color. And now we are continuing with all-new adventures!

Mercy St.Clair has also returned to print, first through teaming up once again with Dark Horse Comics, and now by turning to Kickstarter to fund the further adventures of Mercy St. Clair in a series of all-new graphic novels at trekkerkickstarter.com.
