After 16 years, Rude finally managed to put together a promotional DVD that will be presented an San Diego Comic Con this year. The artist hopes to find a network interested in turning his comic book into a Johnny Quest like TV series.

“Nexus the comic book was dreamed up by [writer] Mike Baron and myself in 1981,” Rude recalls. “I began working on the animation in 1988 and by 1991, I had a short, amateur film, produced by me and my friends. It was very good for people with little or no animation experience, and paved the way for the professionally produced promo of 2004.”
