Jason Howard is a busy guy these days. The 33-year-old Holt resident is art department director at Dart Container. He's also the illustrator for "The Astounding Wolf Man," a new comic book that will be given away for free at comic book stores across the country on Saturday, May 5. NOISE caught up with Howard about his latest project.

Tell me about "The Astounding Wolf Man."

It's a comic. The premise is of a werewolf superhero. The main character is bitten by a werewolf, so it's got touches of superhero and horror elements. It's written by Robert Kirkman, who writes "Invincible" and "The Walking Dead." He's very good at character-driven stories, neat plot twists and cliffhanger endings - all the stuff that makes for good comics.
