The original Detective Wayne Gunn


This is the original Detective Wayne Gunn!  Dr. Drewey Wayne Gunn, Professor Emeritus of Texas A&M - Kingsville was one of creator Trent Westbrook's professors and a major inspiration for his writing.  The character of Detective Gunn was named after the professor as a tribute for the inspiration and support Westbrook received.  Dr. Gunn recently wrote an introduction for the upcoming CORPUS CHRISTI OMNIBUS first volume, due October 2012!
