Wonder Woman Out of the Box (two versions)

 Last year, I was commissioned to do a drawing of Wonder Woman busting out of her Mego 12" figure box. I was done with inking it when I thought to ask the person if they wanted it to be the "real" WW or the doll. I'd drawn a comic book Wonder Woman... they wanted the doll. 

So! Here are two different versions of the same piece! Which one do YOU like better?

More Colorforms Redux

 Not sure why these Colorforms Playset boxes have grabbed me of late, but here are two more recreations. Note how elongated Snoopy's left arm is in order to do the classic disco point! I guess I could've moved the arm down and had it be shorter, but where's the fun in that? 
Also, Pac-Man, a game I never played! Well, not regularly, anyway.

Prince Street News: For Sheer Suspense!

 The new BACK ISSUE Magazine (#130) is a super-fun one if you were a comics fan in the '70s and '80s (I mean, they all are, that's the whole gist of the mag, but this one is particularly hoot-worthy), spotlighting Bronze Age Promos, Ads, and Gimmicks (including, naturally, the ubiquitous Hostess ads that appeared in every comic book of the era). 

For this installment of Prince Street News, I did a lot of detail work, completely redrawing entire house ads and covers for some of the things I discuss. Then again, I also used more scans in this episode than in any other PSN strip... so it all balances out!! 

Below is the full strip as it appears in the mag as well as the full redraws. The original art for some of these is available in the ol' Tough Guy Etsy shoppe (note that the Ms. Marvel ad and Captain America cover look different than in the final strip, as they were hand-lettered and colored for the shop).
