When Kurt asked for Orion of the New Gods, I almost wanted to point out that I’ve already got an Orion drawing on the blog. But, since I didn’t actually draw that one (it’s a Kirby sketch that I “inked” and colored), I decided not to. Plus, I could get to draw the Astro Harness. …

346 – Raza
I know this character from The Starjammers, a group of Space Pirates who are supporting characters in the X-Men books, designed by the genius of Dave Cockrum, and as a whole vastly underrated and underused characters. That said, I don’t know a lot about this specific character, other than that he had a ponytail and …
345 – The Mandarin
Kurt Dinse is opening my mind up to an amazing wonderland of ridiculously dressed villains! I’ve known for a long time that most of the classic silver age Marvel villains were all decked out in green and purple, but I had never seen The Mandarin in this get-up before. I’ve only seen him as a …
344 – The Beetle
I’ve always kinda dug Beetle, the Spider-Man/Iron Man villain. I remember him from one of the old cartoons and thought he had a cool distinct look. He’s incredibly underused. I honestly can’t think of any comic I’ve seen him in other than The Ultimate books. So, when Kurt asked for this particular version, I was …
343 – Eggheads
It’s Kurt Dinse Week Part 2: The Quickening. Kurt had asked for Egghead, the Marvel villain, which I had never heard of or seen before this request. But I knew of Egghead, the Batman villain from the 60s Batman tv show portrayed by Vincent Price. So I sketched up a little Egghead vs. Egghead action.
342 – Man-Thing
Kurt Dinse is a person that I have grown to consider as a friend, despite being two states away and only interacting via internet or during random comic conventions (or as a guest on Gutter Trash via text). Kurt is the creator of One Year in Indiana, a comic I would love even if I …
340 – Captain Britain
I’ve been a fan of this character since the early days of Excalibur. Later on, I picked up the trade paperbacks collecting the Marvel UK stories by Alan Moore and Jamie Delano and absolutely loved them, though I hadn’t read Excalibur since like issue 50 back in the ’90s. I pretty much ignored all C.B. …
339 – Guy with a pipe and no eyebrows
Title says it all.
