Ask Trevor Mueller About Comics

Comic artist and creator Trevor Mueller is one of the first creators I met and befriended through comic cons. I met and interviewed him many years ago, but my most recent interview with him is at On the Beat With Trevor Mueller.

Trevor has a lengthy resume of his own creations, as well as contributing stories to several anthologies. One of his most successful works is Albert the Alien.

In Artist Alley at comic cons, it is hard to stand out. Trevor has a unique setup. Along with his booth, Trevor holds a sign reading "Ask me about my comic." It sounds very simple and it is, but it is also effective. I am familiar with his sign, but one of my assistants wasn't. When walking by Trevor, my guy pointed him out as a potential interview. That's how it works. Of course, I explained it to my assistant and we congratulated Trevor on mission accomplished.

Trevor is such a creative person. I always stop by his booth to "ask him about his comics," but of course, I don't need the sign to push me. I will always check his booth/

On the Beat With Trevor Mueller

I have interviewed comic creator Trevor Mueller​ several times at comic cons, but they were always short updates on his latest work. Yesterday, I had the chance to do a longer form interview with Trevor to really delve into his career.

Trevor is the writer of the multi-Harvey Award nominated webseries Albert the Alien, among many other works. Albert the Alien intrigued me when I first saw it on a banner at his comic con  booth years ago and not just because it was a cool drawing. There are a lot of alien stories and series out there. It takes something special to make one that really stands out.  Albert the Alien is unique.  It's fun, but it also contains some life lessons. It is an "all ages" book. It might seem to be aimed at youngsters, but the themes in the book can be applied throughout life.

Among his other work is the newly released Nexus Point on Webtoon. It's a few episodes in and it's free. Trevor also talked about Repossessed, his upcoming release on August 10 on Webtoon.

Trevor talked about all of this and more. He discussed his start in comics, making it his career, working with others, comic cons, meeting some of his favorites and more. It was a fun look at Trevor's career.

Over the many years of seeing Trevor at comic cons, I am proud to call him a friend. I love his work and look always forward to new projects. I'll be checking out Nexus Point and Repossessed and I encourage all to do the same.

That interview is at On the Beat With Trevor Mueller. Also check TrevorAMueller.com for more info on all of his work. Go to C2E2.com for info and updates on scheduling, guests and more.

On the Beat With Trevor Mueller at C2E2 2021

My post-event coverage of C2E2 2021 takes us to Trevor Mueller. Another long-time favorite of mine, I have talked to Trevor several times, but somehow never interviewed him. That changed at C2E2 2021. That interview can be found at On the Beat With Trevor Mueller at C2E2 2021.

We talked about Albert the Alien and how it came to be. I always want to know how one specific idea sticks in a creator's mind, as opposed to the many ideas that roll through their minds. Of course, Trevor also talked about other things, like working through the pandemic. I have a lot more questions for Trevor, but this was just our introductory interview. In the future, I plan on revisiting Trevor to delve deeper into his work.

Go to TrevorAMueller.com for more info on Trevor. You should also follow him on social media. Especially entertaining is Qsday Tuesday when he answers any questions with legit thought and sharp humor. Also, check C2E2.com for news and updates on C2E2 2022.

Trevor Mueller at Wizard World Chicago 2017

Wizard World takes over Madison, Wisconsin from Friday, November 30 through Sunday, December 2. I'll be crossing the northern border to be "On the Beat." Over the next few days, I'll be recalling some of my memories from past Wizard World events.

Trevor Mueller is a writer, artist and creator of many comics. Based out of Chicago, Trevor is a regular stop of mine in Artist Alley at Wizard World.

One of his creations is Albert the Alien. Albert is just a regular kid from another planet, who becomes the first intergalactic foreign exchange student. With Gabriel "Gabo" Bautista as series artist, Mueller has produced years of entertainment featuring the Albert world.

Trevor is just one of many talented artists who will be at the upcoming Wizard World in Madison. It'll be great to see my artist friend and check out his latest works.

Check out WizardWorld.com for more info and schedules, as well as AlberttheAlien.com to get a glimpse into that creation.. You can also check here for recurring coverage year round.

Trevor Mueller and Albert the Alien

Trevor Mueller is an award-winning creator, artist and writer of several webcomic series. Based out of Chicago, Mueller is very popular, successful and busy.

One of Trevor's creations is the Albert the Alien series. Trevor describes it as, "Albert the Alien is just a normal everyday kid…from another planet! He’s come to Earth to learn about humans as the first intergalactic foreign exchange student. And when Albert’s involved, even the ordinary becomes extraordinary." It is a highly entertaining webcomic, which debuted in April 2013. 

Unfortunately, the Albert the Alien series is coming to an end, but it really isn't a sad occasion. Trevor promises to bring it home with a bang!

Albert the Alien Vol 4: Space Bullies from Mars will be the final volume of the very popular Albert the Alien series. Knowing Trevor and following Albert for years, I am sure he will make this final volume bigger, better and more entertaining 

More cool news is you don't have to just take my word for it. You can get a free 25 page preview on the Kickstarter page for Albert the Alien Volume 4. While you are there, you should also help the cause by donating a bit. Trevor has a big list of rewards for various pledge levels. You can get pins, tshirts, prints and other exclusive stuff, while you are helping to make Albert the Alien Volume 4 a reality. The Kickstarter campaign runs for 30 days with a goal of $5,000. I have no doubt the goal will be met, but I encourage everyone to help out and to earn fun rewards while we wait for the final volume of Albert the Alien.

Wizard World Fan Fest with Trevor Mueller

Our recurring coverage of Wizard World Fan Fest brings us to Trevor Mueller.  We can't forget Albert the Alien either.

I think Trevor should write a web comic about himself.  He works for an advertising agency during the day and he creates comic  in his free time.  His comics include web comic series and other projects.  Albert the Alien, $sshole and The Temple of a Thousand Tears are among his works.

Albert the Alien intrigued me and not just because of the fun animated banner at his booth at Fan Fest.  There are a lot of alien stories and series out there.  It takes something special to make one that really stands out.  Albert the Alien is unique.  It's 152 pages of fun, but it also contains some life lessons.  It is an "all ages" book.  It might seem to be aimed at youngsters, the themes in the book can be applied throughout life.

His $sshole series has Trevor as the main character.  Trevor is a regular nerd, who plays video games.  Does this contain glimpses of the creator Trevor?  I hope to find out by interviewing him in the future.

Mueller's work includes something for everyone.  You can go to TrevorAMueller.com to learn more about him and to see his works.  You can also check out the Albert the Alien Facebook page to follow that series.
