Believe it or not, comics are still capable of surprises. When I went to the shop today, I did not expect to see a He-Man comic drawn by Sergio Aragonés. From Masterverse
#1
, with an all-star roster of talent.
Jack Kirby was born this day in 1917. Tom Spurgeon used to post a parade of Kirby panels every year on Jack’s birthday. I miss Tom and I miss that tradition, so if anybody wants to share their favorite Kirby comics panels, I’d love to see them.
The coolest thing I saw today was something I didn’t even know existed in the new issue of The Jack Kirby Collector. Jack Kirby draws Tron. I just had to color it.
May 2, 2020 would’ve been a Free Comic a Book Day and “Jack Kirby: The Epic Life of the King of Comics” would’ve been a Gold Sponsor Book. Here’s an early cover concept for the book. You can preorder here:
I want a whole comic of this. It’s amazing how Miller is able to make characters who are overexposed seem fresh and reinvigorated. All of the sudden, Wolverine is a scrappy newcomer.
I have to admit I’m a little surprised my definitive in-continuity one-page origin of GREEN ARROW didn’t make it into the GREEN ARROW 80th Anniversary issue.
Neal Adams is a legend. I think about his work a lot. The few times I met him at shows, he was very affable. You could tell he had a great relationship with his family. If I had to choose a favorite work of his its when Batman duels in the desert with Ra’s Al Ghul.
JackTober Day 24: FANTASTIC FOUR! Ever since I finished Fantastic Four: Grand Design I’ve been tinkering with the core concept of Fantastic Four. Why should today be any different?
Look what showed up on my doorstep this morning! It’ll be available in stores next Wednesday October 30th.

Here are some Bruce Timm storyboards from the Superman Legacy two-parter episode. Hopefully we’ll see something like this in the
#SupermanLegacy
movie.
From the story of the Fantastic Four to the story of its co-creator. My next project is Jack Kirby: The Epic Life of the King of Comics from

. We're about to do the

interview with all the details. Stay tuned!
I’ve been rereading and remixing Spider-Man and I am staggered by what a great comic Steve Ditko and Stan Lee put together. It’s hard to believe that the Ditko run was just 3 short years.
I’m overwhelmed by the reaction to the announcement of FF:GD. Thanks to everybody who offered their congratulations. I’m working hard to make this comic as good as possible. Thanks to Jack Kirby and Stan Lee for creating the FF and thanks to Ed Piskor for creating Grand Design.
Ramona Fradon was an inspiration, particularly her Superfriends comics which I used as reference when I was working on Super Powers. I highly recommend her Metamorpho comics, one of the high points of Silver Age DC.
Happy
#JackTober
! It’s a month-long celebration of
#JackKirby
with a drawing prompt for every day of the month. Use your imagination. Use any medium you want. Use the hashtag. To paraphrase the King: Don’t Ask, Just Draw!
I just finished work on Fantastic Four: Grand Design. For some reason the last page of a project always takes the longest. I think it's because it's hard to let go.
