The Joker #1 Cover Recreation

 After Dick Giordano (with some alterations to the original)

Even More Spider-Man Cover Recreations

 Yup, I got more Spidey cover commissions! It's only a matter of time until I have the Ditko / Romita eras covered (so to speak)! Here's THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #23 (originally by Steve Ditko) and #114 (by John Romita). 

SUPERMAN #261 Redux... Twice!

Nick Cardy's cover to DC's SUPERMAN #261 (Feb., 1973) is a perfect capsule of the oft-unintentionally bizarre quality of Bronze Age comics. I don't think the editor intended to publish the kinkiest superhero cover of 1973 (and maybe it's not, I haven't done the research), but Boy, Howdy! 

Anyway, I've been wanting to tackle a redo of this cover for a long time, and I ended up doing two different versions, one entirely hand-drawn, using a mish-mash of generational trade dress and swapping the Superman logo for its sister title, ACTION COMICS. After I finished drawing it, I had second thoughts about replacing the original logo, so I did a second version with Illustrator / Photoshop elements for color and cover elements. So... here they both are. Lemme know which one you prefer in the comments. 

The Black Widow (No, Not That One)

Is it technically a #POOC if it's a Splash Page? Would #SPOOC be more apt? Probably not. Well, whatever it's called, here's an interpretation of the Mike Sekowsky / George Klein splash from the Black Widow (no, not that one) tale, "Murder, Unlimited" from Timely's USA COMICS #5 in 1942. 

More #POOCs

Another round of Panels Out of Context / Comic book panel recreations: The Spectre (after Bernard Baily, whose name I misspelled in the signature, oops), Sabrina (after Al Hartley), and Johnny Thunder's Magic Thunderbolt giving the Justice Society of America the big pink boot (after Mike Sekowsky)! All of these are pretty faithful to the source material, honest!

Freakies

Millennials and post-Millennials have no idea how important breakfast cereal was to the Saturday morning routines of generations of kids from the 1950s through the '80s. F'rinstance, we never, ever found out who grew the Freakies tree. 

Cereal Monsters Print Set!

PLUG TIME: New in the Etsy shop: A set of five 5.25 x 6.75" digital mini-prints of all five Cereal Monster drawings. Plus new stuff all the time. I'm working on a bunch of new pieces RIGHT NOW! Well, not right now, right now I'm posting this, but you know.
