Riley began working on this project a few years ago. The idea was simple: make a comics collection filled with some of his favorite artists and music friends whose work he supports and sell it for a reasonable price at the Power Trip merch table on tour. He made some contacts and got a batch of artists signed on, but the pandemic forced Riley to put the project on hold. And then, unimaginably, he passed away before its completion. Lockin’ Out decided to pick up the anthology and finish in a way that Riley hopefully would’ve been proud of, getting the contributor list reassembled and printing the 120 page book in full color. After nearly three years it is finally together and available through Lockin' Out Records.

The anthology includes comics from: Anya Davidson, Chris Wilson and Jason Tarpey, Dylan Chadwick, JB Roe and Aubrey Sitterson, Joseph Kelly, Josh Bayer, Josh Simmons, Lale Westvind, Lando, Lane Milburn, Marc Bell, Nick Kucway, Stathis Tsemberlidis, and Stellar Leuna all with cover by Ken Fontaine.

“Fanboy out for your people. Support your people to an annoying degree. That’s what I always admired about him, no matter what level PT was at; he put on for people, still shouted out Houston bands and even put on for the shop. I gotta do better at that. Couldn’t have asked for a more appropriate artist (IG: @colorsoner713) to knock out this mural.” —Ryan @ East End Barber

“First off, rest in fucking power, Riley Gale. I met Riley in the early 2000s when we were both teens. He was a pillar in our friend group way before Power Trip was even a thought. There was just something about that fool that was calming and made you feel included. I spent a lot of time with him around Deep Ellum and the east side, doing lots of partying and wild stuff that I probably shouldn’t mention on record. That fool is my brother and we’re all hurting down here without him.” —Solomon
