Prince Street News: If Monster Heroes Wore Costumes!

The latest BACK ISSUE (#124, originally scheduled for an October release, delayed because of You-Know-What) is an issue dedicated to Horrific Heroes, giving me the opportunity to revisit one of my favorite Prince Street News themes, hypothetical costumes (I'm currently working on another one of these for another upcoming issue). Following up on a part of a 2018 strip in which I put Swamp Thing in a costume (as his comic book was turned from a horror book into a superhero one in order to save his struggling first series in the 1970s), I posited what five (technically six) monster heroes might look like in superhero costumes: Gloop and Gleep from The Herculoids, The Incredible Hulk, Man-Bat, Man-Thing, and Simon Garth (Marvel's Zombie). Pictured below is the strip as printed and detail on each character. 

It's (maybe) worth noting that this installment of PSN was only one page instead of the normal two, which will be happening more in the future as circumstances have dictated that I have to pull back a bit on the frequency with which I do this thing. Prince Street News is certainly a labor of love, but as the saying goes, love don't pay the bills. Wait, is that a saying? Oh, well.

Amazing Spider-Man #2 Cover Recreation

 After Steve Ditko, who else? 



Not Brand ECHH! #9 Cover Recreation

 After the late, great Marie Severin! 



Super-Team Family: Batman and Spider-Man

 This was an unusual cover recreation commission because it's not an actual comic book. SUPER-TEAM FAMILY: THE LOST ISSUES is a blog that places characters from different fictional pop culture universes together in a Photoshopped comic book cover. This particular cover is one of a handful pitting DC and Marvel's arguably most popular characters against each other. I took some liberties with the STF cover to make it a little more my own. Check out the original cover and more here



Christmas Doggos

 Just some of the many pet portraits I did over the holidays, some commissioned, some done as gifts for friends. While I myself am a cat person, turns out way more people want their dogs immortalized than cat owners do. Not that I didn't do some cats as well (which I will post at some point). But here are a bunch of dogs!!
