I have gone on at length about my love of Marvel Comics’ Daredevil before, so again, he’ll probably pop up once or twice throughout the next year. Decided to have a DD vs. DD faceoff with the Golden Age Daredevil (or Death Defying Devil, if you’re Alex Ross and Dynamite). I love the bizarreness in the looks of certain golden age characters.
Drew this one entire with a brush pen. I need to work with one more. I think part of my tax return will be going toward brush pens.
And awaaaaaaay we go!
Over at Ok, PANIC! this week, we paid tribute to Golden Age Superheroes. I have a real affinity for the Golden Age, though pretty much everything is virtually unreadable, the characters are all pretty great, though, even the D-listers.
A week ago or so, my friend Jason and I reviewed Jeph Loeb’s “Daredevil Yellow” for our podcast, Gutter Trash. Afterward, we decided to watch Superman/Batman: Public Enemies, the animated DVD (blu-ray!) movie based on Loeb’s first Superman/Batman arc. While watch the movie, Jason and I both drew different versions of The World’s Finest. I decided to go with the Golden Age versions, mostly just ’cause. I like to freak out the normies. Batman’s got a gun? Wha?! So for every comic fan that doesn’t want to embrace any change whatsoever, and wants the characters to stay true to their original versions: Suck it, fuckers.
