Comics Work
Truman began working in the comics field during the independent boom of the mid-1980s. With John Ostrander, he co-created the long-running series Grimjack. His second major work Scout also proved highly popular due in no small part to Truman's excellent storytelling ability. Scout was lauded by Native American fans for the respectful way it portrayed Southwestern American Indian culture and beliefs.
