Allen and Angel met in 1991and married in 1995. By 1994, Angel had agreed to help Allen edit and help co-write the superhero comics.

In September 1995, Angel decided that, after deeply contemplating her life, she would give Jesus Christ a try. Allen did not immediately follow suit but did not oppose her decision. However, after seeing the positive, evident changes in Angel's life (and, shortly after, experiencing a life-and-death moment of his own), he also decided to try Christ for himself.

Allen attempted to continue the creation of his superhero comics, minus the various negative-themed inflections formerly employed that he no longer identified with. Within a few years, though, the superhero comics became less and less satisfying.

Then Allen had a new inspiration in 1999. He begun ideas for a comic that reflected his Christian experience and beliefs, and he very much wanted to co-create these new concepts with his wife, Angel. By 2003, the basic groundwork for Due East was in place. Allen and Angel debuted the comic on an online comic hub called 'Keenspot' (now called 'Comic Genesis'). By May 2007, Due East was well into Book Two. Allen and Angel started mirroring Due East on a new comic hub called 'Drunk Duck'. Over the months following, Due East developed a growing, loyal following.

In June 2008, Allen and Angel expanded the Due East development by creating its own fully independent website. This site now includes the full Due East book archives and all the aspects of the Due East experience in one ad-free environment, complete with its own blog and forum -- dueeastcomic.com!
