About
Hey, I'm just a 6 foot tall, ape descendant who happens to love to tell stories, what can I say?
Phineus + Magician for Hire is the brainchild of creator Barry Linck. Phineus was created in 1987, of then a high school senior after reading too much of Matt Wagner's "Mage", too much Dungeon's and Dragon's and watching too much of John Carpenter's "Big trouble in Little China". 
Over the interviening years Phineus changed from angellic savior, to reluctant hero, to art student who finds he is a mage, until, in 1991, for a comic class at Edinboro University, he became part of a Husband and Wife paranormal investigations team, with Phineus' sidekick and wife Sara. 
Barry produced and self published from 1993 to the present 85+ comics with our erstwhile heroes, garnering a small but rabid fan following.
I hope to some day sell out and have really bad Saturday morning cartoons of my stuff (they still do have Saturday Morning cartoons, yes).
Stay with me and see what i do next!
