What a Beautiful Gory Layout!

One of the greatest PEANUTS panels of all time, this is a recreation of a Charles Schulz Sunday PEANUTS panel from 1952. NINETEEN FIFTY-TWO! I did do a little tweaking on this one, compared to the original, I added some comic book titles that were repeats (there were a handful of KILL and MURDER Comics, to name a few). I also changed the signage at the top of the rack from "For the kiddies" to "Hey! Kiddies!" to ape the classic, "HEY!! KIDS COMICS," the punctuation of which always makes me scratch my head. 

Linus and Charlie Brown panels redux

Two more PEANUTS panel recreations, Linus in the sincere pumpkin patch (background color obviously inspired by 1966's IT'S THE GREAT PUMPKIN, CHARLIE BROWN!), and Charlie Brown experiencing one of his frequent bouts of existential angst. These panels are so much fun to do.

Nicely

Another comic strip panel redux (or #POOC, as I like to call them), this one of course from Al Capp's LI'L ABNER. Geez, he sure did draw purty ladies. 

More Spidey Cover Recreations!

Three more Spider-Man cover recreations! THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #26 (July 1965) originally by Steve Ditko; THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #82 (March 1970) by Marie Severin & John Romita (man, was this a detailed redraw!!) and THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN ANNUAL #5 (1968) by John Romita. You can't tell from the picture, but that last one is a black light recreation! Whoo! Child of the '70s! 

Charlie Brown BOOM!

Hey, kids, I've set up an Etsy shop for my original art and stickers (and eventually prints). Go HERE to check out the Tough Guy Goods store for items like this PEANUTS panel recreation! 

Sluggo Panel Recreations

Two more Sluggo panel recreations based on classic NANCY comic strips by Ernie Bushmiller. So beautifully bizarre. 

FANTOMAH

Panel recreation of FANTOMAH, Mystery Woman of the Jungle (sometimes referred to as comic books' first superheroine). Original artist unknown, if anyone's sure, please let me know so I can credit them. 

Amazing Spider-Man #101 Cover Recreation

Hope you're not sick of these Spidey cover recreations, because there's more to come! Here's a redux of Gil Kane & John Romita's cover to THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #101, which introduced the character of Morbius, the living vampire! Not too much tweaking here aside from changing a few color choices on the original. 

Amazing Spider-Man #1 Cover Recreation

Another Spidey cover recreation commission, this time for the character's second appearance and first eponymous issue, THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #1, 1963. Aside from my usual lettering tweaks, I also changed Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko's original by showing all of the Fantastic Four manifesting their powers (the actual cover does not depict Reed Richards stretching or Sue Storm as invisible). 

Almanaque de Superman e Batman Cover Recreation

Based on the cover to the Brazilian comic book, ALMANAQUE de SUPERMAN e BATMAN, 1960. 

I Wish I Were in Love Again

Another repurposed element from that Sinatra poster I did some years back, this time incorporating the lyrics from one of Frank's more bizarre songs, his version of the 1937 Rodgers & Hart tune, "I Wish I Were in Love Again" (recorded in 1957 for the Capitol album, A Swingin' Affair!). 

Springtime for Batman #3

Springtime for Batman #2

Ultraman

Damned.

This drawing began as being one of the kids from Village of the Damned, but as I continued working on it, it morphed into a Millennial woman who thinks it's cool to dye her hair gray. Or something. 

The Rockford Files

The Song is You

Some Days You Just Can't Get Rid of a Bomb

Perhaps the most oft-quoted line from the 1966 theatrical BATMAN movie starring Adam West and Burt Ward, "Some days you just can't rid of a bomb!" just lends itself to artistic interpretation. I'm not the first person to do this, and I guarantee I won't be the last. 

In His Steps Panel Redux / POOC

Two panels out of context (#POOC) recreated from the unintentionally psychedelic 1977 Spire Christian Comic, IN HIS STEPS by Al Hartley. There's a tiny bit of tweaking in these recreations, which is apropos because I'm sure there's a tiny bit of tweaking going on in the comic books as well. 

 

Amazing Spider-Man 122 Cover Recreation

Recreating the cover of the iconic THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #122 (1973), featuring the aftermath of (SPOILER ALERT!) the death of Gwen Stacy, which culminates in (SPOILER ALERT AGAIN!) the death of Norman Osborn, aka Spidey's greatest villain, The Green Goblin. Original artwork by the great John Romita.
