TRICK PONY is a graphic novel Greg co-created with artist Anna David for the Comixology Originals program.

TRICK PONY is available in print at all comic shops and bookstores from Dark Horse Comics or can be ordered using the link here.
LIEBESTRASSE is a historical fiction graphic novel that Greg co-created with artist Tim Fish also Comixology Originals. It was nominated as an “Outstanding Comic Book” for the 2020 GLAAD Media Awards and listed by the New York Times as one of 10 Comic Books to Celebrate Pride. In June 2022, LIEBESTRASSE was released in print by Dark Horse Comics.
Greg contributed a script about The Ray that was illustrated by Giulio Macaione and lettered by Aditya Bidikar for the DC PRIDE 2022 anthology. GeekDad said, “This story does a good job of capturing Ray’s struggles with overcoming the internalized homophobia caused by an abusive childhood and letting himself be fully open, and it’s a great journey to watch him go on—now let’s see more of this character in the DCU!”
