Thanks for all of the praise this has been a great creative outlet for me and I love to do it. I have managed to produce cards every single year too since 2000 and it has always opened doors for me and other opportunities since the college days. People that see the cards for the first time love them even if they do not know what the COTG game does. I have found that a lot of people pick them up because they love the story lines and artwork and then the Game is the added bonus. The funny part is I must of introduced more people to the champions of the galaxy by making my own cards than if I did not. People always ask what is this and that they never heard of the champions of the galaxy before. I usually show them the GWF files, The Dark Menace book and talk about Tom the most to promote his game whenever the opportunity arises.
I can not and will not take all the credit the writer creator and NAWC founder Keith Vella can also be thanked for his amazing story telling abilities. It was just pure luck that we both grew up on the same street as child hood best friends both with our own creative talents. Keith was the one who found the COTG from the old wrestling magazine ads. He is the one who introduced me to wrestling and the champions of the galaxy game. I used to come over every Saturday morning and watch wrestling with him and we both hated Hulk Hogan since he always won every match without any cool moves like so many other better talented wrestlers at that time. Our favorites at that time was the Bulldogs, Hart Foundation and Macho Man" Randy and the four horse men. I loved the look of the Road Warriors too.
Also other important contributors who shared ideas and still add more creative angles to the very expanding NAWC story lines, like Eric, Troy, Mike and so many more all have also helped put together our own little universe of chaos and mayhem over the years and we will continue to grow and expand the universe together.
I have always thought of the NAWC of more like Star Wars meets the Lord of the Rings, or ancient space gladiators and other various creatures, aliens and other warriors. I have tired to avoid making characters that look like anyone from the marvel universe or the WWE. I always tired to make something of my own if possible. I figured that we already have WWE and Marvel looking characters in great abundance. So if you want to expand your universe into a different direction then we are the way to go.
