A first look at the upcoming Burke Comics lineup.
Zakariah Burke (Zak) is the creative force and co-founder of Burke Comics, a family-driven publishing brand dedicated to bringing bold, imaginative worlds to life. Partnering with his father, Zakariah blends a lifelong passion for storytelling, visual art, and pop culture into original series that span genres—from techno-fantasy epics like Memory Link to high-octane adventures like Red Fast and the vibrant rock-and-roll realm of Throttle Hound.
Driven by a vision to create comics that are as emotionally resonant as they are visually stunning, Zakariah works hands-on in every stage of development—crafting characters, building immersive settings, and ensuring each story carries the heart, energy, and creativity that define the Burke Comics brand. His work is inspired by a mix of anime, cinematic storytelling, and the belief that great comics can connect generations of readers.
When he’s not building new worlds on the page, Zakariah enjoys time with his fiancée, Casey, and their son, Emmett, drawing inspiration from family life to fuel the humor, heart, and humanity in his stories. Through Burke Comics, he strives to give readers more than just entertainment—he aims to create experiences they’ll remember.
Brian Burke (Triple B) is the co-founder and guiding visionary behind Burke Comics, bringing decades of creativity across music, technology, and storytelling into the foundation of a new indie publishing universe. While Zakariah leads with the artistry and character creation, Brian provides the big-picture strategy, narrative architecture, and cross-media vision that shape Burke Comics’ unique identity.
Brian’s creative scope extends beyond comics. He is also the mind behind Radio 268, an underground broadcast blending analog soul with digital soundscapes, and a producer of interactive live entertainment such as Casey’s Name That Tune. At Burke Comics, he focuses on weaving these threads together—ensuring stories like Memory Link, Red Fast, and Throttle Hound aren’t just comics, but part of a living, interconnected world.
Together with Zakariah, Brian is laying the groundwork for Burke Industries—a family-built creative hub that unites comics, music, and interactive entertainment under one banner. Inspired by trailblazers such as Marvel Comics, while forging its own independent path, Burke Industries reflects their belief that bold storytelling and family-driven creativity can build a universe that resonates across generations.
Burke Comics is a father-and-son creative powerhouse bringing original, visually striking stories to life. Founded by Brian Burke and Zakariah Burke, our mission is simple: create comics that ignite the imagination, blend cinematic visuals with heartfelt storytelling, and connect generations of readers.
From the techno-fantasy realms of Memory Link, to the fast-paced roads of Red Fast, to the electrifying world of Throttle Hound, every Burke Comics project is built with passion, detail, and a love for the art form.

Looking ahead, Burke Comics is just the beginning. As part of the expanding vision of Burke Industries, our creative universe stretches across comics, music, and live entertainment.
