Pencils to the cover of ARMY@LOVE #6.

Here is the original art for the first issue cover of GREYSHIRT: INDIGO SUNSET. It’s executed in pen, brush and ink on an 11 x 17″ Wildstorm board. The piece is in excellent condition with the newspaper headlines pasted up perfectly. I’d like to get $550 for it. If you are interested give me a shout.

Other original art, some sold and some still available, can be viewed in the gallery.

This has got to be one of my most reprinted stories. Written by Alan Moore, penciled by me, inked by Al Williamson, lettered by John Costanza and colored by Tatjana Wood, THE JUNGLE LINE first appeared in DC Comics Presents #85 and has been included in many DC collections and foreign editions over the last twenty-five years. It featured a team up with SUPERMAN and SWAMP THING and a fully painted cover by me. DC has just reprinted it again in a lovely oversized collection of Alan’s SUPERMAN stories.

I grabbed this off the shelf this morning thinking it might look interesting on the blog. It’s the first trade paperback collection of THE ONE and the very first King Hell publication ever. When I checked the date I was astonished to see that come December I’ll have been self-publishing for twenty years!

Here’s an experimental cover I did back in 1989 for SWAMP THING #85. It was a western themed issue and SWAMP THING appeared for most of the story as an elemental energy storm. I tried to catch that by finger-painting the main image of SWAMPY as a titanic bolt of green lightning and stacking it over several color surprints to give it that crackling effect up the center.

The painted cover to my first TMNT comic. Pen, ink, dyes and airbrush, 1998.

We flip for Mother’s Day around here.

Here’s a scan of the wraparound cover I did to TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES #30. The story, also by me, concerned a rogue dimension of endless superhighways, where there were no speed limits. The rogue dimension would suck up cars from earth, turning their drivers into weird-o mutants.

This piece was a painting with a collage backdrop made by using a color copier to zoom in on a cutaway illustration of an engine in a car brochure.
