ABOUT US: As father and son, we work together to create intriguing and creative stories to bring something new to the comic book world.
After years of being a fan of comics of various styles in both art and writing, Alejandro Caballero created Christopher (aka The Last Templar) in 1994 inspired by Todd Mcfarlane’s masterpiece, “Spawn”. Over years of the character’s evolution in terms of story and general appearance, he kept trying to make an official book with a structured story and satisfying art, but among other things, the dream of bringing this character to life had been hindered and put to what he thought was a complete stop.
In 2021, his son, Noah, came up with a character based on his math journal sketches. This character soon evolved into who we know as The Scribe. With his father’s support he strived to get better with his art. As he developed an interest in writing, he began to try to form a general story for The Scribe. As he was creating, he inspired his father to continue with his story and finally bring his character to life. As they worked together to create two cohesive stories, a world began to form. Although, instead of creating a made up town and city for their characters, they did something they thought was new. They did not create the setting. They put their heroes into today’s world, with hopes that people would be able to relate better to the stories and characters, they stuck with the idea to create this alternate yet not so different universe.
