Did you know that comics did this?!

Comics often uses a question mark followed by an exclamation mark to show the "excitement" of the question. Such as this panel from Spider-Man...


Maybe comics could start combining other punctuation marks to better explain an emotion, such as combining a period and exclamation mark to show mediocre excitement.

More Cover Remixes

I've completed a couple more Silver Age Remix Comics drawn for Comics Alliance, written by Chris Simms.



Please head over to CA's site to see these entire Superman and World's Finest covers.

By the way, as I drew the last one, I realized the Beatles were lucky they all had similar hair types. Think how different they would have looked if one had curly red hair, another was blond, etc. The marketers only had to make one Beatles wig to sell!

War of Light-- 60's Style!

Whew. Been busy or otherwise occupied the last couple of months. If you're a weekly reader, sorry for the gap between updates.

The good folks at Comics Alliance asked if I would create a few mock covers to go with Chris Sim's "Silver Age Remix Comics" writing, and I said, "Sure!" I always enjoy their site. The below Green Lantern art posted a week ago, but I didn't want the tiny rumble of my blog to steal their thunder, so I waited before posting it here. You can read the whole article on CA's site.


I'll do a few more, but, again, I'll wait until they're on CA before posting them here.

Speaking of Green Lantern, he's about to become a well-known character with his movie debut. Here's a very early post of mine examining his name, just in case you know any moviegoers who might question it...

Star Wars Deleted Scene

Okay-- This isn't really a deleted scene. It's an added scene. I drew this several years back and had mostly forgotten about it, until a friend reminded me. The original was only linework. I've added color to make it more blog-worthy...

If Bruce's Mood Had Been Different That Night...

Yes, it's a bit silly, but I thought it would be fun to draw. Click to enlarge.

Tigra Strikes Again!

Even though it embarrasses my son, I decided to draw another Tigra cover. It can be seen here at Covered Blog, or right here below. Click on any image to enlarge.

It's my recreation of this original...

Here's my original ink drawing, if you like that kind of thing.

Public Service Artwork

I've been extremely busy the last few weeks. Today, a friend pointed out that I have no February blogs posts. But, it isn't too late if I upload something tonight! Challenge accepted.

Last week, my son told me he needed artwork for a Don Quixote sock puppet show he was doing at school. Due the next day! He wanted artwork with two sides, on a stick, so he could flip a windmill around to change it into a giant!

He looked on the internet, but couldn't find any suitable art. So, below, I present the fastest completed artwork I've ever created. Little planning. No erasing.

Click on each to enlarge. I'm posting these for use by anyone who might need them. The silhouettes match up. Just cut 'em out and glue them to each other. Here are some key words to help others find this site-- Don Quixote fights windmill. Windmill changes to Giant artwork. Technically incorrect windmill. Hairy armpit giant.
