Corsair

I just finished drawing my favorite scene in "Ambush at the End of the World" and thought I would share a piece. The Flying Phantom's Corsair just gave the Nazis the business and makes sure they know it. I'm very happy with this bit.

Digital Inks

With my Wacom tablet working properly again, I tried something I've been meaning to try for a while. Ed McGuinness posted a page from Hulk #3 on his deviantART page, so I decided to put some inks on it in Photoshop. It was a good experience. It was a bit frustrating not being able to turn the drawing every which way to get a better angle and turning the tablet to get it is impossible. It felt strange and I am by no means giving up the ink bottle, but it's something I'll try again in the future.

Space Ranger

I got a new driver for my Wacom tablet and thought I might give it a spin. Simple, flat colors on a simple, flat drawing. It's no great artistic achievement, but it was fun. I've been perusing lots of old comic covers for the Greatest Covers posts and found this character, the Space Ranger, who starred in a string of shorts in DC's Tales of the Unexpected in the 1950's. Silver Age space fare is good crazy.

If there's one thing here in Phoenix that really freaks people out, it's rain. So that's what makes this cover so terrifying. Tales of the Unexpected #92, circa June 1959, comes from the masterful hand of Howard Purcell. I doubt you will ever see giant raindrops in another comic. Or Green Glob Weirdies. Ever. Shame.

Cartoony Bats

A friend suggested I try cartooning to prevent my figures from becoming stiff. This is my attempt towards that end. And I realized I don't draw that much Batman, so here he is. He's a tough character for me to get a handle on. I'll have a handful of sketches like these for sale at the Phoenix Comicon for super cheap.

I continue my love affair with the covers of All-Star Adventure Comic this week with issue 29, circa 1964. This one features a phenomenal cover reprint from Strange Adventure #163 by Murphy Anderson. A bit of research revealed this title as being an Australian book reprinting DC Comics stories. A lot of stories. This particular issue contained 13 different stories totalling 96 pages!

Based on the little information that I've found, 1962's All-Star Adventure Comic #13 is a cover reprint of Strange Adventures #133. And what a cover it is. Gardner Fox and Murphy Anderson tell the tale of "The Invisible Dinosaur"! And the invisible dinosaur casts a shadow! Looking at the rest of the covers for this series makes me wish DC would collect these into a nice hardcover. What imagination!

Mysterious Adventure

Well, the first proper issue of Mysterious Adventure is in the works so I thought a bit of preview art would be appropriate. This image has appeared on my deviantART page, but now it's got some bitchin' tones courtesy of Matt Bennett . The book has a ComicSpace page where you'll be able to find some preview pages very soon. The book features 3 different stories from myself, Matt Bennett and Joe Dellagatta with Matt Kaufenberg making the cover pretty. So hit up the ComicSpace page for previews and stay tuned for release dates and availability.
