Regular Green Show

Posted on November 2, 2012 by Steve

I had this piece commissioned by Austin Rogers of Redbeard Comics. He did an excellent job, well he really exceeded my expectations because I was just planning on him drawing Mordecai and Rigby saying one of their catchphrases. Making them Green … Continue reading →

Seems there was a little more left in the tank

Posted on October 26, 2012 by Steve

Last I lamented about how the annual comic book from Bongo had seemed to run its course. There really wasn’t much else to parody and this was started to redo premises/stories the TV show had covered a decade ago. This … Continue reading →

Buy this comic book 2012!

Posted on September 1, 2012 by Steve

Boom! recently reprinted a six-issue miniseries chronicling some new adventures of The Avengers, the UK show not the Marvel comics. They were written by Grant Morrison and drawn by Ian Gibson, so it was a mini-Judge Dredd reunion. I think … Continue reading →

Awesome (to the max)! Early Eighties versions of Star Wars

Posted on August 18, 2012 by Steve

This cool artist did a mash-up or interpretation of the key Star Wars characters as the Eighties high-school archetypes, maybe a touch of college. I say the early Eighties since half the fashions shown fell out of favor by the … Continue reading →

Cool 44th birthday present #2

Posted on August 17, 2012 by Steve

My Aggie nephews (because they live in College Station now and their parents are both graduates of Texas A&M) gave me this bitchin’ Justice League lunchbox. Inside were some cool Toy Joy-like trinkets but the lunchbox is the star. The … Continue reading →

RIP: Joe Kubert

Posted on August 13, 2012 by Steve

The man synonymous with the DC characters Sgt. Rock and Hawkman (Silver Age mostly) passed away yesterday. Although I wasn’t into the comic books Kubert usually drew, he had a very recognizable style. He also had moved into semi-retirement around … Continue reading →

Life in Hell ends

Posted on June 22, 2012 by Steve

Matt Groening finally threw in the towel on what launched his career; Back in the Eighties someone gave James L. Brooks a poster version of “Nine Ways to Die in LA” as a gift, thus inspiring the Oscar® winning producer/director … Continue reading →

It has been over 100 posts since I discussed the latest chapter in the DC reboot. I apologize for dragging my ass, like you care, but I haven’t really received any kind of Comments so I’m going to default with…if … Continue reading →

DC announced which “major” character will now be gay…

Posted on June 2, 2012 by Steve

…and now let the fanboys, homophobes, reporters stuck working on a slow news day, so on wring their metaphorical hands over this while the rest of us living in the real world, shrug our collective shoulders, then get on with … Continue reading →

Happy Free Comic Book Day! Summer has started

Posted on May 5, 2012 by Steve

The latest diorama from Rogues Gallery helper Nick! A rather amusing display of action figures waiting in queue to get their freebies. I was there before the opening because the Honda dealership finished installing a new lock motor really early. Free … Continue reading →

RIP Jean “Moebius” Giraud

Posted on March 10, 2012 by Steve

First Ralph McQuarrie, now the legendary Moebius! I double checked to make sure Syd Mead was still alive since we all know the cliche about death coming in threes. Many of you are probably going, “Who was this French guy?” … Continue reading →

RIP Ralph McQuarrie

Posted on March 4, 2012 by Steve

Star Wars, Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica and numerous other Sci-Fi franchises wouldn’t have been the same with Ralph. If the name rings a mental bell, then you may recall his name in those “making of” books showing the concept art … Continue reading →

DC reboot part six: The Batman Family

Posted on February 26, 2012 by Steve

I finally picked a good time to get off my ass to cover what is traditionally called The Batman Family. It’s debatable when the term was exactly coined, various Internet sites can’t seem to give a definitive answer and since … Continue reading →
