All My "Avengers Circle" Commissions

Back in 2023, I drew a commission of Marvel's 1960’s heroes taking the place of the MCU’s team in the first Avengers movie.

Based on this memorable scene... 

People seemed to enjoy my rendition and soon I was commissioned to draw a Justice League of America version!

Then, a different person wanted one of their favorite 1990's Avengers team.

Soon, I received a request to create the scene using humor mascots from various companies.

After a while, a patron asked for a version using various monster-hosts from a variety of horror comics/magazines.

Okay, that's probably enough of riffing on the Avengers movie. Wait! There's more! I was asked to draw a version using Marvel characters from the cheesy TV shows in the 70's and 80's. (Black Widow is from a show that was never made. Angela Bowie, David Bowie's then-wife, bought the rights to a Daredevil TV series. Promotional still photos were taken, but an actual pilot was never filmed.)

Have you ever heard of the "Great Lake Avengers"? Fortunately, I had. Someone asked for a commission of them! Happy to do it.

And last, but not inferior, is this team-- The Inferior Five!

And that's a wrap! (At least for now--)

DC/Marvel Treasury Editions Commission Edition

 I think that title makes sense. Here's a couple of commissions requested by the same person--

Underdog! Spider-Ham! Darkwing Duck! Hulk Bunny! Both are funny animal versions of two classic Treasury Editions!

I'm sure many of us thought the characters should have been switched, Superman vs. Hulk and Batman vs. Spider-Man. Those team-ups did happen later, but these were the first!

Commissions - Covers Edition

Here's my recreation of X-Men #137. Admittedly, I added a few of my own elements.

The below commission is the first time I've created a "one second later" cover. It's based on World's Finest #3 from 1941. Batman looks funny without blue eyebrows.

Lastly, this commission is for someone with a red-headed spouse!

The title "Red & Ready" has a meaning to the married couple. All four panels are loosely based on existing covers, as per the request. Marvel Girl/Phoenix is from the X-men cover seen at the beginning of this post. Here are the others, for those curious--

All work is black ink on Bristol board, with digital color. I also supplied a one-off, large color print.

Happy Halloween - MORBIUS STYLE!

I'm a huge Steve Ditko fan. I'm also a fan of Morbius the vampire (a character that came along after Ditko had stopped drawing the Spider-Man comic). I recently thought, "Too bad Ditko never drew Morbius. That might have been cool."

So, in the spirit of Halloween, I thought I'd give a "Ditko Morbius" a shot. I don't think I fully pulled it off, but it was fun to do!
