Ghost Rider!



Got this commission which just so happens to coincide with Marvel week at Comic Twart. I had actually considered doing Ghost Rider for C.T., but decided against it. So it's funny to be asked to draw him the same week!

The "almost" What if?


Before I settled on the two themes I'm going to do for Comic Twart's Marvel weeks I almost chose The Punisher. I decided against it since it felt too "on the nose" for me. Good thing too, since Declan went with Big Pun.

Anyway, here's a sketch I did when considering The Punisher.

What if Comic Twart ran Marvel?

Hey all!

So, the fellas on Comic Twart got the idea to devote two weeks to the theme of us all taking over various Marvel books. I expect great things from the boys.

I've picked two books, one for each week. This week I chose The X-men. I had planned to paint this but CONAN is calling. So you'll have to settle for the pencils till I can either paint or ink it.




Here's the rough version with all the construction drawing done in red-

PS - After I started this I noticed I forgot to add Beast, so here's a piece I did of him for a pal a while back.



PSS - I shoulda' added Rogue too! Drat!

CONAN Road of Kings #1 preview







Dark Horse ran a five page preview of CONAN #1, with inks by Mr. John Lucas, so I figured I'd show the pencils here.


Issues one and two are available for pre-order, so let your local comic shop know to reserve you a copy.

SHAZAM!



I drew this Captain Marvel for Comic Twart's ketchup week. If I can find the time I want to color it.
