Happy Birthday, Jack Kirby!

Jack Kirby was the undisputed King of Comics. Nobody before him or since has rivaled the intensity of his output or his feverish creativity. Most of what we know and love in comics is either derived from or came directly from his hand. We all salute this man, who was the paragon of our craft.

This is the design sketch for a little tribute to Kirby that i stuck into my run on Punisher: Franken-Castle, which is the stained glass window from the monsters' church, featuring Kirby's monsters and his vision of God himself, based on several drawings he had done, which may look familiar to readers who remember another iteration of God I have drawn in some comics.

Cynthiana, KY to celebrate THE WALKING DEAD DAY!

On August 6th, 2016, my dear ol' hometown of Cynthiana, KY is celebrating THE WALKING DEAD DAY, to honor the the series and its creators, Robert Kirkman and myself. Fans of the comics will know that not only do Robert and I hail from there, but it's also the site of the opening scenes of THE WALKING DEAD, and the home of Rick Grimes himself!

There will be a sign dedicated to us at the edge of town, as well as a massive zombie apocalypse street festival, complete with signings and photo ops with me and Robert, and a fantastic special reprint of THE WALKING DEAD #1 sporting a brand new exclusive cover featuring the the town of Cynthiana!

Sketch of the Day! DEADMAN

I've had a fistful of these Copic-rendered sketches sitting on deck for months now, so i figure it should start posting them. I'll put one up every Friday until i've posted all those 5-minute requests. That should carry me through a few more weeks.

I've always had a soft spot for DC's supernatural characters, and Boston Brand is one of the coolest. Here's my ghoulish take on DEADMAN.
