First up, did you catch Will Lill's Free Comic Book Day preview of Ash-Aman in the FCBD Fun Adventure Comics! 2018 edition? If not, get thee to DriveThru Comics and download it now! (Sports and exclusive cover by the incredible Russ Martin, don'tcha know!)
Ash-Aman's official debut is only a few weeks away in Fun Adventure Comics! #7, and honest to Irving, you don't wanna miss it! It's the most truly 1970s-style cosmic I've had worked on yet, and Russ' art and co-plotting is gonna blow your mind!
Over at Surprising Comics (which is now an imprint of Lucky Comics!), we're still waiting for Depthon #1 (with THREE underwater adventures written by Bronze Age Aquaman scribe supreme Steve Skeates) and Surprising Universe#2 to get their finishing touches, but here's something to keep your interest piqued: another sample page from my Donnie Page illoed Depthon story and another page from my Unbeatable Brick story with art by Josepth Graves and Donald Willman...
Speaking of Unbeatable Brick, JW Erwin is still rocking the pencils and inks on our two-part shocker (slated for Surprising Universe issues 4 and 5). Here's his cover art and mock-up for ish #5 (though it could appear on #4--we'll see)...
JW and I are still hard at work on the Night Spider mini-series, and believe you me, this is another comic that's gonna blow your socks off! Here are some more of JW's design pages...
And finally, as I mentioned earlier in this post, Donnie Page knocked it out of the park (as he always does) with his Depthon pencils. Soon after he finished work on that story, Donnie learned that he has Stage 4 Prostate Cancer that has spread to multiple organs. Donnie has set up a FaceBook Donations page where you can contribute to help him with his medical expenses as he fights his cancer like the super-hero he is. As soon as we learned of Donnie's situation, a whole bunch of his pals from InDELLible Comics, Surprising Comics, Lucky Comics and Charlton Neo pow-wowed on the best way to help our uber-talented buddy...so naturally t'was decided to do a benefit comic featuring Donnie's own work, as well as art and stories from some of his favorite comicbook folk. I can't go into a lot of detail here, but Colnk Adink, Jim Ludwig, Mark Davis, Stephen Butler, and many others are putting together a sure-to-be-awesome benefit called Donnie's Pages! Stay tuned for details, but I can tell you that it's gonna feature at least two tales that Donnie and I have collaborated on: "King of the Hill" (thanks to Charlton Neo publisher Mort Todd for coloring and lettering it--as well as letting us use the story prior to it being published in an upcoming Charlton Neo mag)...
...and Donnie's own creation, U.S. Flag and Liberty Ladd! Get this: the page below (as well as the whole U.S. Flag story) is brand new, astoundingly penciled by Donnie as he takes his meds and prepares for chemo. I TOLD you Donnie's a super-hero!
Remember, you don't have to wait until Donnie's Pages comes out--you can help him RIGHT NOW by following the FaceBook Donations link. Thanks in advance for your generous help!
