To anyone who has come to this site looking for information on Skeleton Crew Comics, you have come to the WRONG place. Skeleton Crew Comics, apparently, is an indy comic publisher run by one Eric Petty out of Fort Wayne, Indiana. That is all I know about them, except, of course, that they are NOT us.

We are Skeleton Crew Media. We being myself (Mike Wytrykus) and my friend & collaborator of 25 years, Steve Wigsmoen. That is it. We are not quite yet a company in the truest sense of the word. So therefore, we are not hiring. We are not looking right now to work with any other artists or writers. Skeleton Crew Media is basically just the comic and animated projects that we are working on or planning to work on. Most of these projects will be web based. Some might be published in print. God willing, one or two may one day make it to television. But right now it’s just the two of us and a shared dream.

So please, if you are looking for Mr. Petty and Skeleton Crew Comics, don’t contact us. I suggest you try contacting him on Facebook or ComicSpace. Or better still, just reply directly to the job posting like it says you should do.

Hello everybody! I’m the infamous Steve mentioned below, come to join up. As you all can see, the site is pretty empty but that will change over time. This is the place to be to get updates on our projects, the latest info on all that is happening in the Skeleton Crew’s world. I’m sure it will be updated as consistently as possible, but no promises!

Me and Mike have been working together on various projects over the last couple of years and we hope to get some of it out to the general public soon. The ultimate goal of course is television, but we hope to have some things posted online, so be on the lookout. It’s going to take time, but I think you all are going to enjoy what we put out there.

So as not to repeat too much of what Mike said, I’ll stop here. Again, I’d like to say hello and welcome the show! A splendid time is guaranteed for all.

Welcome to the new Skeleton Crew Media website! Allow me to introduce myself – my name is Mike Wytrykus, and I shall be your host and guide. This website is home to the creative works of myself and my longtime friend & collaborator, Steve Wigsmoen (who will eventually be dropping by later on). Ever since the two of us were about 10 years old, we’ve dreamed of creating our own cartoons and comics for a living. Well now we’re finally going to do something about it.

For the past decade or so, I’ve been working, on-and-off, on a variety of projects: a webcomic called Grimstone, stop-motion animated fan films, classwork from my time spent at Columbia College Chicago, and so forth. And Steve has pretty much been a family man, working hard to put food on the table and raise three children. But the time has come to once again focus on our goals and invest our time in working on new creative endeavors.

There isn’t much content on the site right now as we are just getting started on things. Over time, the site will feature whatever smaller projects we’re working on and links to separate sites for the larger ones. Under our current projects you’ll find the aforementioned comic strip Grimstone (which hasn’t updated in a few months) as well as our new project that we’re gearing up for. My Martian Friend, like Grimstone, has its roots in our childhood. It’s a project that is best suited for animation but could also work well as a comic book or graphic novel. Unlike Grimstone, It is appropriate for all-ages, and we hope to develop it into an animated series for television or the internet. We’re still very much in the outline stage right now, so the site has even less on it than this one does. Once we get some artwork done or start working on the comic strip version, the site will kick into high gear.

Keep watching this space for further details about whatever it is we’re working on. If you would like to contact us about anything really, use the Contact page to shoot us an email.
