Big Pun.

I've messed around with this style before...I'm not quite sure where it comes from. Maybe a Bruce Timm-meets-Simon Bisley thing, I don't know.

Parker and Parker: the RE-REVISION!!

Here's a couple of covers, wrinkled and battered, just like Aunt May!

Parker and Parker is presented here for the third, and last, time.
Savages is another li'l Marvel dream book of mine -- Ka-zar, Shannah, Zabu, Skaar, Kraven, Calypso, Moonboy & Devil Dinosaur serve as protectors to the Savage Land. The g'damn thing writes itself. Plus, I would finally make reference to the kid Wolverine had with a tribeswoman in Wolverine: The Jungle Adventure (it's great, go get it!).

Thanks to the talented Kerry Callen for advice on the creases & wrinkles. Visit his blog, NOW.

Washed-up...wait, isn't Latveria landlocked? ..maybe there's a lake..

I can't believe I didn't work Wolverine into this cover.
It's almost like I would WANT this book to tank.

Parker & Parker, The Original Mr. and Mrs. Smith

Another ficto-cover from Dimension D. Peter Parker's hepcat superspy parents -- yes, that Peter Parker -- died when Peter was just a kid. Peter was raised by his Aunt May and Uncle Ben and his parents, Richard and Mary, were largely forgotten.It soon came to light that they had both been secret agents for the government, and were both killed while on a mission -- a firey plane crash. Well, they came back to life a couple of times (once as a pair of Life Model Decoys).

I never liked the story -- it was just too crazy that the kid who got spider powers from a radioactive bug bite would also have daring secret agents for parents.
Anyways, I've since embraced the idea. Not sure why, but I think it has something to do with my love of the television hits Hart to Hart, Simon & Simon, and MacMillan & Wife. I'd love to read a 70's set spy drama rooted firmly in the Marvel Universe.
Shaggy hair. Bell bottoms. Muscle cars. Done-in-one adventures with a revolving door of guest artists -- some fan favorites, some young up 'n' comers.

Anyways:

My art is getting all cartoony and angular again...weird.
