Underground Comix

Before I was drawing super hero's Marvel and DC, I dreamed of becoming an Underground Comix artists.

By the time I started drawing Maxx,

I was able to do both.

Batman-Lobo page

now if I'd only finished Lobo in black ink,

instead of using a sharpie.

* sigh * 

Scratch intro page

My tribe to Wrightson's Warren period with a bit of the Biz thrown in too. 

Outback Critter

Maxx Outback creature,

partly inspired by Tigger and Hobbes.  

Batman 'Looking Glass' page

Alice & Bats. 

These Two Again..?

Couple of odds and ends i need to add,

but this page is more or less done. 

Badass Twout

Mad Hatter

. . . from Batman: Looking Glass 

MCP 86

Seems like a lifetime ago when I did this was sitting on my drawing table . . . 

BatScratch cover.

another .. Oldie but Goodie. 

Ojo/Nola . . . aka: "mom's eye"

Legs "self indulgent" Intro.

Here's a one page intro to the Legs comic.

Since the lettering's so small, I've blown the panels up so their easier to read.

Batman/Maxx 3

In Batman-Maxx 3 I wanted to briefly revisit the main four Batman mini series I drew, and see what tied the main four characters together in each story: 

* Young Bruce Wayne from 'Batman Secrets',  

* Nurse Sabine from 'Arkham Asylum', 

* Callie from Detective Comics 40-43, aka: 'Ghosts'  

*  Alice from Batman: 'Looking Glass' 

All four are Children of Shame, and all four either suffered a great loss, or tried to save someone from a great loss. I didn’t add a caption saying, “as seen in Batman Secrets”, because that seemed too distracting. Anyone who knows my work, can see a common thread.  

But I wanted to say ‘goodbye’ in a way, to these four characters. 

Young Master Bruce who’s lost his parents that fateful night,  

Alice who lost all sense of logic, scale and normalcy in Wonderland. 

Nurse Sabine who refused to quite the nightmarish Asylum to protect and provide for her little boy. 

Callie, the blind girl who Batman was unable to save, 

just like his parents.  

Batman: Looking Glass

'My Inner Bimbo' Poster

Hollows Cover

Kind of an underground comix feel to this one. 

Couple from Eleanor

A fan came up to be at NYCC and said the panels I color are among his favorites.

I have such awesome fans!!! ( and not just because they say things like that. ) 

Another day...

.. another Batman-Maxx page. 

Batman Secrets: " ..what holds in the pain."

Betsy from 'My Inner Bimbo'

Batman Secrets: Joker in a space suit?

I know,  I haven't a clue why the Joker is wearing this either . .

. . . but things don't always have to make *sense*, do they?

New Colored Maxx & Julie page

. . . From Batman-Maxx.

Okay, one last Urp post to get it out of my system.
