“We Rode With The Clowns” and “Terminal”

One fun project I neglected to mention during my long absence from posting much of anything here is a couple of fun jam comics put together by Steve Willis (of Morty the Dog fame) that he was nice enough to include my work in. Steve encouraged folks to send him art to include that he would write a script to… kind of a random, mutant version of the “Marvel Method” of making comics. You can see the results of the two issues he has produced that way below by clicking on the images. Enjoy!

Make Mine Kirby

Appallingly, Marvel Comics recently prevailed in court over Jack Kirby’s heirs in their challenge over ownership of and proper compensation for the creations that Mr. Kirby made for them (i.e. “The Whole Damn Marvel Universe”). If you are as disgusted by this as I am (or if you just want some food for thought), please consider reading what Steve Bissette writes about the issue. Marvel may have triumphed legally, but that does not mean we have to let them win. Why buy any new Kirby or Kirby-derivative comics from Marvel? Do you really need to read more fifth-generation rip-offs of the master?
