SPIDER-MAN #129 VARIANT RECREATION


This was a very interesting commission, presented to me by CAF member Matthew Stock. He requested that I recreate this classic cover to Spider-Man, featuring the first appearance of the Punisher, but asked me to incorporate a separate pencil drawing by Greg Horn and convert her into a female version of the scourge of the underworld.

 

 

PUNISHER #3 VARIANT  Recreation

 

  The response to the Spider-Man #129 recreation (featuring a female Punisher) on the CAF boards was overwhelming  that I decided to do another one--this time adapting the original cover layout to the Punisher #3 by the talented Mike Zeck.

     

 

 

Iron Man #18 Variant Commission

 

This page was commissioned by Paul Sharpe of the U.K. and is an interesting combo of my 'Hall of Iron' poster and the original cover to Iron Man #18. Colors by Ian Sokoliwski.

  

 

Kolchak: The Frankenstein Agenda #2 Cover

 

David Michelinie, my long-time creative partner, was recently hired to write a Kolchak: The Night Stalker mini-series for Moonstone Books. With a good word from David, I got the cover assignment.  Here's the latest one!

TUSKA SAVAGE DRAGON & HELLBOY PENCILS

 

This page was commissioned by Gary Sella and was penciled by the legend--George Tuska. Gary kindly asked me to ink the drawing and add a few finishing touches of my own.

 

THREE DITKO CHARACTERS

 

This page was commissioned by CAF member Brian Carney and features three characters from the mind of the great Steve Ditko (whom I had the pleasure of working closely with at Valiant). This was the first time I ever had a chance to draw the Creeper and I'm always happy to get a shot at my personal Ditko fav--the Blue Beetle.

This page was commissioned by Amy Katcher as a present for her guy. It gave me a chance to work on my Wally Wood chops--having apprenticed with him during the early days of my career. The drawing also features one of Woody's most memorable (and hot) characters--The Iron Maiden.
