Cross of the Samurai - 2014
For generations mankind explored and colonized the galaxy, yet failed to discover intelligent alien life. Except for the Artifact.
No one grasped what the Artifact represented. Could the alien construct be a building, an intergalactic marker, or something else?
For years it sat silent and impenetrable on the planet Vermadas before it inexplicably killed hundreds of people. Damascus Quinn, a special forces officer who survived, retreated to an unexplored world to avoid the endless speculation surrounding the disaster.
Seven years later, Quinn is called back to active duty. The Artifact is awake and communicating with hostile alien ships on the edge of human space. Quinn must prevent the aliens from obtaining the Artifact while defending humanity.
How can one man of faith stop an alien invasion?

ArComics Premiere - 1993
This comic featured six short stories, designed to introduce audiences to the six titles that would eventually publish under ArComics. Ralph illustrated all of the artwork for this issue, the unpublished second issue, advertisements, and merchandise.
This company was the first to ever use a lenticular cover (2 images in one, tilt to view), created the first 3D card, and was the first to use a 900 number for readers to vote on their favorite story. For a first issue, 100,000 copies were printed in full color, unusual for a startup company. The issue sold over 70,000 through retailers and at conventions.
ArComics dissolved shortly after this due to staffing issues.
