Father/Son Sketch Challenge, Moving

Image
We're going to move the challenge over to Raymond's blog, starting with this past week's Nova and Spider-Man ones.  Mine are below, and they'll appear with the boy's versions here . The Spidey was done to observe the late Mike Wieringo 's 50th birthday, and honestly, Nova was Mike inspired too.  I wish he could have a crack at the new version, because they'd be a perfect pair, those guys.

Fresh commission, done for Ethan Breedlove over at Ancillary Characters .  It's sort of a re-creation of JH Williams III's Superman 636 cover, by way of Joe Shuster.

It's nuts to me how little there is on the interwebs about folks that are 15-20 years gone.  My aunt Jean (technically great aunt, never called her that, though) was with the Washington Star in one capacity or another from the sixties until its doors closed in 1981.  She is unknown to Google, and in this, the week of her 85th birthday, I'm changing that, with a pic of Jean taken by Star staff photographer Ray Lustig in 1968.  She's been dead just over 20 years now, but here she is, on the internet, forever: Jean would take me up the east coast to comic conventions (New York!  Philly!  New York!), she was a total funnybook enabler.  She lived in an apartment building with a 7-11 a flight of stairs away.  A 7-11 with a spinner rack.  Not 20 footsteps from her front door.  I could buy comics IN MY JAMMIES.  Good times, great aunt. Happy birthday, Jean. Update, 3/18/13 Let down by my scant knowledge of Jean's career, I contac...
