BAT-HULK!!

The very first Batman comic I owned was The Brave and the Bold #68. It’s an odd story where Batman turns into “Bat-Hulk.” He’s suddenly bulky and has molten-hot hands! I’ve long held a fondness for him and had the urge to do a drawing. You can read a little more about it at the 13th Dimension.

In case you think I'm making it all up, here's the cover to the original comic.

The Story of Bigfoot

Yikes! It's been a year since I've posted here. I currently share new work on Facebook, Instagram, X, and Bluesky. I plan to post here much more often in 2026. In fact, this is a great way to kick off the year--

I'm excited to be part of a Kickstarter campaign that goes live today! It has an amazing lineup of creators, many whom you will recognize. The project is called ORPHAN WORKS. As the site says, “Cartoonists so often have unpublished stories sitting in their files. Now, at last, you'll get to see them too!” To give you a taste, I've posted the first page of a Bigfoot story I contributed.

Please click here to see the entire project.

I'll drop a few names-- Rudy Nebres, Luke McDonnell, Trevor Von Eeden, Matt Haley & Tom Simmons, Christopher Schenk, Stefano Cardoselli, Brandon McKinney, Roberta Gregory, Jeff Bonivert, Tom Stazer, Dean Haspiel, Don Simpson, Michael T. Gilbert, Rob Walton, and Fred Hembeck... Plus more! It's going to be a 250+ page book, available in softback or hardcover.

Please support it if you can. It's going to be a fun book!!!

From Action #1-- Butch and the Gang!

Superman's first appearance in Action Comics #1 is a famous cover.

Not quite as famous is Whiz Comics #2, the debut of the superhero Captain Marvel.

I recently realized that maybe the two covers go together!

The idea cracked me up. I had to draw it!

Animated Chambers of Chills #19!

I decided to animate an old comic cover for October! (Before AI makes my gif-making efforts worthless.) Boo!

Here's the original--

Kirby Self Portrait. Now with color!

I adore this self-portrait of Jack Kirby (with inks by Joe Sinnott), which I recently saw online. I couldn't stop myself from coloring it! (I didn't try very hard to stop.)

Here's the original--

There's so many things to love about it-- A smiling Jack Kirby, a laughing Ben Grimm (aka The Thing), plus Dr. Doom and the Red Skull being wacky villains. So great!

Wonder Woman Glares at Power Girl!

I'm trying something a bit different—I’ve created original art of Wonder Woman and Power Girl to sell on eBay this week. It’s a riff on a famous Sophia Loren/Jayne Mansfield photo. The original art is black ink on 12x12 Bristol board. Whoever wins the art will also receive a 12x12 signed, color print.

You can BID ON IT BY CLICKING HERE.

Oh! And this is the photo I parodied--

Hurry! The auction ends on Sunday, July 21!

As I mentioned a couple of posts ago, I've gotten behind on posting new work. The good thing about that is I can share this Scarlet Witch (done in 2023) and the Vision companion piece (done in 2024) together! Both requested by the same person. I'm told they share a wall space.

Next, the Metal Men! I crack myself up by putting Tin in a super-serious Iron Man/superhero pose, with a crinkled fist. Black ink on Bristol board, plus digital color and signed print.

It's always interesting when a person enjoys a TV show or movie and sends me a commission request to turn it into a fake comic cover. In the case, Killing Eve!

The next commission reminds me of a political cartoon. If you don't know the history of the name "Captain Marvel," just know the name became in Public Domain in the 60's. Previously owned by Fawett/DC, Marvel snatched it up. This saddened readers who had an attachment to the Golden Age character from the 40's-50's.

I'm not an expert on the subject. I merely drew the commission requested by a Golden Age fan. (And yes, the "Circle C" technically should have been a "TM." It's a bit of an oops, but I like this visual better.)

JSA Deja Vu! A few months ago, I completed a commission based on an All Star cover (seen here), with Wonder Woman added. I then received a different request to remove WW and add Wildcat. It also has a different logo and a few other minor tweaks. I completely redrew/recolored it.
