Spider-Man and MJ's Upside Down Kiss!

I have some new art up on ebay! It includes the above print AND the original art. They could both be yours! Check it out here!

Btw, Spider-Man kissing Mary Jane wasn't the first upside-down superhero kiss. Check out my older blog post from 2009.

Captain America Eats His Shield!

I've come across some of my older, ink on Bristol board, artwork. I've decided to sell a bit of it. If you're interested, here's my listing on ebay for Captain America eating his shield. The listing includes a single, comic-sized printout of my mock cover. Bid on it here!

I originally posted this image back in 2010! 

Wonder Woman Art for Charity

I posted a color version of this art previously, but the art is now up for bidding! I drew this for the National Cartoonists Society Art Auction. Proceeds go to St. Jude’s Children Hospital.

You can bid on it here.

Or view the entire 170 piece auction here.

This is a bit of a rarity for me. I switched to 100% digital art several years ago, but this is on actual bristol board with actual India ink! (I had to search my basement to find art supplies, and drew on my kitchen table.) 😊

EDIT: The auction is over. Thanks for your generosity! $1800!

That was fun. I've never drawn Captain Marvel Shazam before.

Honestly, I don't know how Superman does it!

Wonder Woman doing the Marilyn Monroe thing!

I've drawn a piece of original art (black ink on bristol board) for a charity auction benefiting St. Jude's Children Hospital. I'll post more info as it becomes available for purchase in a month or so. But, for now, here's a version I've colored for fun!

I also did a limited color version to mimic 50's humor magazines.

Sometimes, there are folks on the internet who like to crop my name off my art. So, I'm going to simply state a description of this, in case anyone's looking. Wonder Woman skirt blown up by landmine. (Although, did you know, she actually wore a culotte in her first adventures?!)

 Ha! I'm digging deep into nerdville on this one.

There was a period from the late 50's into the early 60's where crazy things happen to DC heroes. I thought it would be funny if some of them happened at the same time! Here's the covers for reference--

And, yes, Batman did wear a rainbow batsuit in the story!

Super Antics #15

 And now, for no real reason--

Super Antics #14

I haven't taken the time to do something purely for fun. So I did!

Should I add tags to my post, so that if people are hunting for things, they can find them? Hourman and Ourman. Atom and At 'Em. There.

Super Antics #13

This occurred to me, so I had to draw it!

Man, I need to post more. Do people still look at Blogger content?

A Joke NOT in MAD #7

As I developed ideas for "Shazam Funnies" (which appears in MAD #7), I actually had two ideas for a Calvin and Hobbes parody. Here's the one you didn't see--

I typically supply a script and descriptions of my concepts. My other "Billy and Tawny" idea is the one that got chosen. It is more MAD-like. (If you've ever read my Halo and Sprocket stories, you know that sometimes I get a little sweet, as compared to always going for a joke-only punchline.) Here's the finish "Shazam Funnies" that appeared in MAD.

However, my other idea stuck in my mind, so I went ahead and drew it just for kicks!

Here is another piece of my art that appears in MAD #7-- the Batman/Superman gag on the cover of the Potrzebie comic section. I've seen a cropped, square version of this shared around the internet, but honestly I like the bigger, vertical image more.

Anyhoo, MAD #7 is no sale NOW. You should go buy it. I think that cover's pretty funny! :)

Urinals of the Justice League

I had a little free time to draw over the holidays. Sorry.

I like Aquaman, but I suspect this has happened at least once---

As always, if you curious to check my comics in long form, head over to Dirtnap Tales. This week, I hit page 100!

Super Antics #11

As I drew this, I started wondering, "Who was the first person to hide behind their own cape? "Dracula? The Shadow? Bull fighters? Is it a cliche from ancient times? Anybody out there know anything about it? 

As always, if you'd like to see more of my work, you can check out my web comic. It's starting to get a little crazy--!

Super Antics #10

I found this scribbled out. I had forgotten about it. So, I took a break from my web comic and drew it! Sorry. (Not for taking a break, but for creating this.)

Super Antics #9

I ran out of room to do everyone. What do you think is being said here..? 

Super Antics #8

Even though I've recently started a new web comic, I can't stop myself from doing this kind of thing too--

Superman and Batman. Who's better? Let's find out!

For decades, fans have argued who is the better superhero, Superman or Batman. It recently occurred to me that the best way to determine this is to see how they’d fare if one replaced the other on their comic covers. Will one fare better than the other? This should decide once and for all who's superior! I selected six covers and then created six alternative images.

First up, Superman #32. Superman is being hit by multiple lightning bolts--

--while Batman is screaming multiple obscenities. Winner, Superman.

Next, Action Comics #357, featuring kids with kryptonite. Looks like Superman is in loads of trouble--

--Batman, not so much. Punk kids. Winner, Batman.

Let's look at a fairly famous cover, Batman #497, where Bane broke Batman's back--

I always thought this Batman cover should have had a sound effect on it. Otherwise, it merely looks like a visit to the chiropractor. Regardless-- Winner, Superman.

Next, Detective Comics #583. Batman is cooler when he's surrounded by bats!

Superman is not cooler when surrounded by supers. Winner, Batman.

Two wins for Superman. Two wins for Batman. It's a close race! Let's take a look at a cover that has both heroes on it, World's Finest #54--

Now, let’s replace Batman with Superman and Superman with Batman.

It appears they are both equally as awesome! Suck it, Robin. Tie!

Lastly, Detective Comics Vol. 2 #37, the deciding image! Batman lives in a mansion and has a butler--

Winner, Batman!

Just a quick note--
My Super Embarrassment T-Shirt has been reprinted over at Threadless.com!

Rejected Spider-Man Origin Cover

Not really. Did you know it's Spider-Man's 50th anniversary! For years, I've heard people mention that if Spider-Man does whatever a Spider can, then he would shoot web out his butt. I recently noticed that if you switch the places of Spider-Man and the Thug on AF #15 (his first appearance) you essentially have the poses you need to make this concept work...

Yes, it's a filmsy reason for me to draw it, but a friend of mine thought it would be funny, so here we are.
