Hellblazer is my favorite non-superhero ongoing comic, I’ve been reading it for years, and only once has it ever gotten to a point where I thought I might drop it (author Denise Mina’s run a few years ago, for what it’s worth). I’m even one of the only people who love Paul Jenkins’ run on …

042 – Original X-Men
Post-it sketch.
041 – Golden Age Starman
A redesign of the Golden Age Starman, based on my previous attempts at G.A. redesigns. But not as successful. I was kind of going for a mix of crazy mad scientist combined with the James Robinson Starman. Eh. Another one for the “retry later” pile.
Ok, PANIC!: Wizard of Oz
X-Men/Oz mash-up. I guess Cyclops is Scarecrow? Still better than anything Jonathan Hickman is doing (yes, this is a post from the FUTURE!).
039 – Robot
Just a robot. On a post-it.
038 – Skin Mask
Sort of a Batman-y Rogue that I thunk up all by myself, though I’m sure there are similar looking characters somewhere. I just wanted to draw a dude with most of his head skinned, except for a domino-esque mask of face. I like masks. Done on a post-it.

I tried to draw Clark Kent as kind of a schlub, in the style of a Frank Quitely from All-Star Superman. But Frank Quitely is a special kind of genius, and I am a special kind of failure.
