Sadly-Sadly

I will cheerfully tell anybody who asks that I would love to do a Plastic Man comic. If there's a superhero strip anywhere to which I would be better suited, I can't think of it. Here are some sample pages I did a few years back in one of my periodic attempts to get DC to throw me a bone. The script is taken from a Jack Cole story, "Sadly-Sadly", and reinterpreted in my own style. Did it work? Did it arse.





Today: Starting to pencil the new 20-page lead story to the Art d'Ecco book (after finishing the Inside Soap pic I was supposed to finish yesterday). I'm going to try to pencil 2 pages today. Somehow.

All-Hitler funnies

Just a quick one, before the day completely runs away from me again: here's a spot illo I did for DC Comics' Big Book of Weirdos in the early 90s. I'm having trouble remembering the details, but I think I did two versions of this, and this one here is the unpublished version. They asked me to redraw it, as I recall, because I'd already done Hitler for the Big Book of Conspiracies and they didn't want to turn the series into All-Hitler Funnies. Andy Warhol was the substitution decided upon in the end, I think...

Must remember to take the pills tomorrow.

The International Brotherhood of Secretly-Alive Ventriloquists' Dummies

I used to work on a book for DC in the 90s called Gross Point, sometimes as inker, sometimes drawing the whole thing. The deadlines were usually pretty grim, so there's a lot of stuff I did for it that I'd prefer not to think about. Occasionally, though, I did a piece for it that I'm still quite proud of. This is one of them.

You can compare it to the printed version if you like.
