"Look Kids, Comics!!"
Yesterday's mail drop brought home copies of my variant covers for Boom! Studio THE CENTER HOLDS #1.
My cover's been sold out since hitting the shelves 2 weeks ago. So perfect timing!

"Look Kids, Comics!!"
Yesterday's mail drop brought home copies of my variant covers for Boom! Studio THE CENTER HOLDS #1.
My cover's been sold out since hitting the shelves 2 weeks ago. So perfect timing!
Speaking of powerful firsts: Lee & Kirby's debut of the BLACK PANTHER from Fantastic Four #52 hit HARD & a legend was born.
Also included, my first time drawings of LUKE CAGE: PAST/ PRESENT, ably inked by my friend, the late Art "Inky Fingaz" Nichols.
Black History Month continues & is Forever.
The tackiest "situation room" ever.

THIS!
Not since T'challa's first appearance in FF# 52 was a character's debut so powerful.

A testament that this year's Black History Month never ends but continues onward EVERY month.
One of the Best in the comic biz left us today. Rest in Prominence, Performance, and Peace, Tatiana Wood.

Where it all started: the original 4 part covers of JLA #233-236 that combined into the poster premiering JL DETROIT.
Happy Flashback Friday.
It's cold & rainy day in LA so here's the back cover of the Justice League Detroit Omnibus & the full cover by maestro Jose Luis Garcia Lopez to warm y'all up.
I threw in mine & Mike DeCarlo's JLD poster for a lil extra love.
Happy Throwback Thursday, folks.

Yesterday, I got to reunite with one of comics' true legends, GERRY CONWAY, making his last public appearance to meet his many fans & friends @arsenalcomicsandgames.
It was more than an honor beyond pleasure.
Thanks for showing this rookie the way of the game, Gerry, and thanks for being my friend.
Hope all else is going well with you.

My heartfelt condolences to his family.

Here's the copy of my original rough sketch and the finished art for the first Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm DVD cover.
I'm told it wasn't a fun production to work on, but doing just the covers was enough for me.
Legacy.

Ain't that the truth!
The 'Detroit League' was always going to be a controversial shift of gears but @chuckpattonart.bsky.social kept doing solid work.
