I have never read a single, solitary page of any comic with this character. But I know he’s been around as long as I’ve been reading comics. Requested by Jason Young. Watched BILL AND TED’S BOGUS JOURNEY last night. It’s been years since I last saw it, and it was still delightful. Also watched ZOMBEAVERS. …

406. Captain Marvel
Listen, I like Carol Danvers. I like that she has taken the name of Captain Marvel. But the DC Captain Marvel will never be anything but Captain Marvel to me. They can share. Because, otherwise, won’t someone think of the kids? By kids, I mean Freddie Freeman and Mary Batson. What are they now, Shazam …
405. D-Man
The bastard offspring of Wolverine & Daredevil. Just because I was talking about this dude with a friend last night. I can’t wait for his Marvel Cinematic debut in Avengers 6: The Barrel Scrape Saga.
404. Green Hornet
Last night my pal Joe & I watched the Batman ’66 tv crossover with The Green Hornet. I’d never actually seen it before. It was a delight. It made me a) want to draw Green Hornet (and Kato, but I couldn’t get the hat right) b) want to re-watch the movie (which I also found …

So, the other day, comic writer Kurt Busiek wrote some tweets about Dr. Strange. His theory (and a compelling one), is that when Ditko created the character, Strange was originally supposed to be of Asian descent. He was originally drawn with the slanted, thin eyes, and same skin coloring as The Ancient One in the …

Happy International Women’s Day?
401. Booster Gold
Haven’t drawn a lot of Booster on the blog despite being right up there with Blue Beetle as a favorite character. ‘course the reason he is up there is due to the Blue & Gold friendship being awesome. Also, DC’s insistence as portraying Booster as a goofy fuck-up or grim serious time traveller with no …
400. Hulk
Heavy reference Lou variant. The old Hulk tv show has been on the Me TV channel lately. Haven’t watched a full episode yet, but it brings a tug of nostalgia upon me.
399. Kyle Rayner
Kyle Rayner is probably my favorite Green Lantern (with Guy Gardner, John Stewart, & G’Nort all close 2nds). But I think what I enjoyed the most about his time was that he was the only GL. While the Corp brought about interesting concepts and characters, it also makes the GL so interchangeable, it’s hard to …
398. The Dark Knight
Realized that I have never drawn The Dark Knight Returns/Frank Miller Batman before. My “default” Batman is the Neal Adams/Jim Aparo version (with some Kelley Jones for flavor). Of course, a lot of folks know of my love for the ’66 version, as well. When I was a pre-teen, I would have fought anyone who …
