The Superhuman Enemy Of Crime
Just out of Kubert School, EPIC Magazine editor Archie Goodwin asked if I’d color a Basil Wolverton SPACEHAWK story. Like Archie, I’ve always loved Wolverton’s work and recommend it to any of the younger generation who are Fletcher Hanks fans. Basil might be quite as far out as Fletcher, but he’s in the same zone.
Here’s a page of my colors from that story. Inks and dyes on photostat paper, 1989.

One of the fun things about doing this visual blog is fishing around in the back of the flat files and pulling out stuff I’ve completely forgotten about. This illustration is from one of my first commercial jobs after graduating Kubert School in 1978. All I have is the tear sheets and I don’t remember the title of the book it was done for. Some sort of intergalactic handbook of some kind if memory serves. Pen and ink on Craftint paper, 1978.

Don’t remember much about this time-traveling hero Alan Moore and I came up with for the Awesome Universe except that it brought a phone call from Jean-Marc Lofficier at Starwatcher, pointing out that he looked a bit too much like Moebius’ MAJOR GRUBERT. I think we agreed to remove the spike on his helmet and white out the infinity symbol on his chest, but not sure if we ever did anything more with him.
