Gibson Twist is an eloquent fellow who writes comic books for online distribution. Sometimes, as with Pictures of You, he also illustrates them.

You should probably get to know Gibson a bit better. Luckily for you, this happens to be a post profiling him. What chance! What fortune! What stroke of fate!… etc.

Really though, Gibson is a pretty darn rad artist/writer, and you would be remiss not to check out his work.
