I’d been sitting on this one for a while, as I wanted to color it up all fancy-like, but I could never get around to it, and I’ve grown to dislike the drawing immensely. I may give the character another go in the future. Anyhoo, he’s yet another awesomely weird/obscure Marvel character from the 70s/80s, and created by Keith Giffen to boot!
So in 2011, I began – unbeknownst to anyone, including me – to consider nominations for the 1st ever Eric Shonborn Year End of the Year Award. A lot of people were considered, but there could only be one winner:
JB Sapienza!
JB is a renaissance man with many talents and ventures, including co-running the website Rejected by Covered, being a cartoonist, making videos, and, as far as I’m concerned, being the guy in charge of the documentary MY NAME IS JONAH, which I look forward to seeing eventually. (JB also put together the MY NAME IS JONAH Free Comic Book Day digital comic, which I contributed to).
JB wins the award due to excelling.
The rest of you need to step up your game in 2012.
This is a request fulfillment for Jason Young, who reviewed the first AXE COP trade paperback with me on Gutter Trash, and in the process, discovered the greatest comic book that has ever existed.
Almost as much as I love Hellboy, I also love Mike Allred’s MADMAN, though he is a subject I have drawn in the past
I don’t have the proper words to express how much I love Hellboy and everything related to it (Mignola, Fegredo, Davis, etc.)
