Juarez, Mexico  

In a gritty, soulless border town that smells of blood, sex, and liquor, there's no real honest way to make a living. I only had two choices in life -- become the cartel's instrument of death or end up the next decapitated message hanging from an overpass. 

Working for the Castaneda Cartel transformed me into the perfect killer.  Cold. Calculating. Uncaring. I was truly a heartless messenger for evil men.  

After a lifetime of wading in a river of blood, I escaped this self-inflicted nightmare. Why God chose to bless me with Maria and my sweet little Gloria, I will never know. Perhaps he knew a good woman and an innocent child of my own could change the heart of this devil.  

Together, we fled this hell and disappeared into the safety of America. We had two wonderful years together as a family... until the cartel forced me to return to the blood-soaked past I'd left behind and use my tools to issue vengeance on men I once called "brothers".

Thank you for checking out my book! My name is Brad Ashworth and I'm the creator of Handyman. I have been drawing professionally since I was twenty, including children's books, board games,  print media illustrations, and commissions.  After many months,  I am proud to announce the release of my first comic book. Working with writer Tyler Carpenter, we've crafted Handyman as a hard-edged series set in a violent, criminal world where retribution is poured out upon evil men who far too often escape the hands of justice.
