I'm trying something new! I love reading old, public domain comics, and I often wish I had a cool shirt or two. Not a mere old panel on product, but something actually DESIGNED. So, I decided to make a few myself and place them on TeePublic. I uploaded my first one. This artwork is based on various Spacehawk comics by Basil Wolverton. His early work is fantastic! You should buy a shirt, or tote bag, or such, just because his stuff is great! (And it helps support me!) For the first 3 days, it's only $14 for a shirt as compared to the normal $20. CLICK HERE!
EDIT: I just got a comment that about WHERE can you read these public domain comics? I love the DIGITAL COMIC MUSEUM site. Spacehawk appeared in Targent Comics #1 and continued for several issues. If you'd like to shell out a few bucks, Fantagraphics has a great book reprinting visually-cleaned-up versions of all the stories. I did not use the art from their book for my shirt. Thier labor is their own. I created my own from original sources.
Just for fun, I'll present a randomly-picked story right here in my blog! From Target Comics #8, SPACEHAWK and the Vulture Men from the Void! Click on each to enlarge--
Can you link to any of the public domain Spacehawk comics? I am pretty willing to take your word that they're great, but I'm curious, too.
ReplyDeleteGreat question. I just added to my original post. Thanks.

Thanks for giving DCM a plug Kerry.
ReplyDeleteI just learned of your blog. Love all the work you've been doing!
BTW, DCM has it's own 'The Complete Spacehawk Collection' that I'm very proud of helping to produce. It's up for reading at the following two links:

Thank YOU, Yoc!! I recognize your name from some of the book scans. DCM is one of my very favorite things!
DeleteI wonder what is the best tablet you recommend for reading digital comics? I usually read scanned comic books on a widescreen MacBook Pro that I use for my freelance work. I barely like using my tablet for ebooks - you can't touch or flip the pages of a digital comic on a tablet. It's hard reading double splash pages. I usually use a good laptop with high processing speeds to read digital comics, but I always prefer the physical copy.
