Glowing Eyes Media was previously known, from 2003-2021, as Trinity Comics. We changed our name for two main reasons. Firstly, as we are now focusing more on the prose books and merchandising side of the business, we felt calling ourselves Trinity Comics (so named as there were three initial founders--Frank Dirscherl [myself[, John Jett and Craig Shepard) to be a little redundant and outright confusing.
Secondly, when we founded the company in 2003, I made sure that we were the only one's calling ourselves Trinity Comics. I ensured proper due diligence was maintained. Sadly, others failed to do likewise, and there have since been a veritable outcropping of other companies/entities calling themselves Trinity Comics. Warnings were issued but not adhered to. As I do not have the capital to pursue such matters through legal proceedings, and taking the first point into consideration, it just made sense to change identities and move forward with a new, more encompassing name. Thus, in mid-2021, Glowing Eyes Media was born. Named after the Eyes of Judgment on our lead character The Wraith's chest, and with a super-cool logo to boot. The sky is now the limit!
The Wraith is my way of combining the worlds of the pulp novel with that of the kinds of comic books that I grew up reading in the 1970s and 80s. As a fan of the stories of that era, I thought it would be fun to try and combine those two genres into one, cohesive whole. The Wraith Dread Avenger of the Underworld is the result of that initial idea. Modern adventure pulp with a twist!
Yes indeed. There are currently ten (10) books in THE WRAITH DREAD AVENGER OF THE UNDERWORLD series, with more on the way. 2025 proved to be a bellwether year for us. January saw the release of Bk. 6 SWAMP WITCH OF SATAN'S FOREST, Bk. 8 LADY WRAITH was released in May and Bk. 9 & 10, KINGDOM and CITY OF FEAR followed in July/August. 2026/27 will then see the release of Bk. 11 BIRDS OF THE LIVING DEAD followed by Bk. 12 THE ACOLYTE.
There will be many more books in the series beyond those listed above, and will be written/released as time progresses.
Yes! In fact, I would prefer if you did. I ship worldwide, and direct from me is the only way you can purchase our myriad of comic books and merchandise items (eg. The Wraith comic books, maquette, action figures etc.) All Glowing Eyes Media prose books can also be purchased via third-party websites, such as Amazon, Barnes & Noble etc., but also direct from me. The only way to buy signed copies is direct from me (either from the website or in person at the various shows I regularly attend).

Len Driscoll is the pen name for author Frank Dirscherl, the head and creative visionary behind Glowing Eyes Media. Frank has recently launched a new series of detective novels--the George 'Magpie' Collins mystery books, and decided to use a pseudonym as per his literary hero, the great Ross MacDonald (real name Kenneth Millar). Indeed, the series (starting with The Broken Chain), is heavily influenced by MacDonald's Lew Archer detective books, as well as the Raymond Chandler Phillip Marlowe books.
As of this writing (May 2026), the first five in the series have been published (The Broken Chain, The Black Seam, The Magpie's Shadow, The Lost Boy and The Iron Chord) as well as the first short story anthology (The Magpie Files Vol. 1). Bk. 6 The Shadows of Wentworth Street, will be released in November 2026. The current plan going forward is to release three 'Magpie' Collins books per year, abilities and time permitting, in January, June and November, for the foreseeable future. Many future novels in the series have already been outlined (either roughly or completely).
