More Elephantmen

Here's another page from the Elephantmen story that I'm drawing. I'm quite pleased with how it's turning out...

The story is pretty much the origin of Hip Flask's partner, Vanity Case. It establishes many previously unknown things about her character--including the first look at her Venice Beach apartment. Richard crammed the script with all sorts of details. It's been challenging (and time consuming!), but also fun. I think it shows a side of my work that most people are not familiar with, and it's some of my best work to date.

I'll probably put a couple more in my online portfolio as I finish them. More art links are on the right, FYI...

Ronald Reagan Reborn!

If I'm not mistaken, this week I have another new book out!

Ronald Reagan: A Graphic Biography is a project I worked on last year that is now being published as a hardcover graphic novel from Hill & Wang, written by Andy Helfer and with 100 pages of art drawn by me and Joe Staton. I drew this before my TOKYOPOP book, and I'm interested to see how people will respond to it. I'm also eager to get my hands on a printed copy to see how it all turned out!

When I was in high school, I was a big fan of Staton's E-Man comic. I'm proud to be associated with his work and I wonder how it will mesh or clash with my own.

Today a friend sent me THIS LINK to an online preview at SLATE.COM. Check it out! You can read more than half of the book there. I drew up to page 49 and the cover art.

If the link above doesn't work, you might want to consider a new web browser. Meanwhile, here's a redundant URL for you to copy and paste: http://www.slate.com/id/2172927/
