The unique team of brothers behind popular series “Axe Cop”
Posted on September 22nd, 2010 at 12:00 pm by admin

It’s rare that two brothers can cooperate long enough to create a work of art, much less continue doing it for any length of time. In the entertainment industry, the Coen brothers are probably the best known example, crafting such hits as Fargo, The Big Lebowski, and No Country for Old Men. However, a new super-team of brothers has hit the world of web comics, and their clout in the industry has growing. The brothers are Malachai Nicolle, writer, and Ethan Nicolle, artist, and together, they are the creators of “Axe Cop.” Both artists are young and ambitiousEthan is 29, and Malachai is5.The project originated when graphic artist Ethan (Chumble Spuzz) and Malachai (come on, he’s 5) were playing together. Malachai came up with the character of “Axe Cop” while running around with a toy fireman’s axe, and Ethan drew some strips as a way of practicing the webcomic medium. During the same playtime, the character of Flute Cop (Axe Cop’s brother, though neither knows this) was created. (Read the rest of this story.)
