World's Finest #36 Redux

 Commissioned for a friend, a few changes from the Winslow Mortimer original (mostly, I took off the heroes' boots because even a superhero has to surf barefoot! Capes are one thing, boots another! 

Prince Street News: Stuff I Miss

The new BACK ISSUE (#135, June 2022) is the SILVER ISSUE, spotlighting the Silver Surfer in the Bronze Age. My Prince Street News in this issue is another in a recent series of strips that don't tie in to the theme of the issue (it's also the second one-page installment, something that will happen now and then). Rather, I wanted to post an ode to elements of comic books that are now sadly extinct. Yeah, yeah, old man yells at cloud, I know. 

Coming Next! It's another Christmas-themed episode! 

LAUGH-IN Wrapper Redux

 

More Mighty Marvel Cover Recreations

 More Marvel cover redux commissions, mixing it up with some Fantastic Four this time!  The cover of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #38 features some radical alterations to the original. Perhaps having to do with this being Steve Ditko's final issue of Spidey, he did not create an original cover for the comic book, instead Marvel cobbled together images from the interior artwork and added a lot of lettering. While the main image is certainly dynamic enough for a cover, the three panels at the bottom felt kind of randomly chosen (I'll place the original cover for comparison) so I found the full comic book online and chose three different panels I felt were more worthy of cover placement. 
John Romita's cover to AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #62 (introducing Medusa) has always been one of my favorites, so it was super fun to redraw this one. Medusa's green-and-orange color scheme compelled me to color it using fluorescent inks, making this another modern Third-Eye tribute. 
Finally, the cover to FANTASTIC FOUR #86, which was also so much fun to do because Jack Kirby's ridiculous genius always smacks you in the face when you have to try to draw it. Try it! It's fun!
