What was supposed to be a short little piece about Nightstik’s powers has morphed into a tale of intrigue! How does Arnold seem to know what he does? How does he know Bob? Where did Bob come from? What did Arnold slip Bob? Keep coming back and find out! Enjoy!
Happy Thanksgiving to those, other than my mother, who are still reading! Page 12 took a long and strange journey. Originally, I planned for Nightstik and Arnold to stroll into a biker bar and have a pretty violent, yet conventional bar brawl. It just wasn’t working for me. So I looked around for more references […]
I don’t often pat myself on the back, but this page looks pretty good if I do say so myself.I’m a big fan of Frank Miller, and this page is definitely a homage to issue 184 from Miller’s run on Daredevil in the early eighties. A bit of background here. It was important to me […]
Here we are for page 20! This page came together fairly quick. Sometimes I get an idea for precisely what I want to do and out it comes. This was one such page. I think it is fairly clean, and it is easy to follow the action. Only four more pages and issue 3 is […]
This page tells the story, but I think I overworked it. When I’m unsure about how to render a page, I tend to get really “heavy” with cross hatching. This is probably done subconsciously or intentionally to cover up my lack of skill at rendering everyday objects. Still, it passes my test for whether it […]
I don’t often toot my own horn, but this page turned out pretty nice. Story by Josh Nelson and art by myself. From time to time, Stephen would be engaged in something else and I’d be left to do the page myself. While this makes for an uneven product from time to time…well…I actually don’t […]
Here we see the mad scientist at work. This was a fun page to come up with. You might notice that this story starts from the perspective of the villain.
This is what we call a “montage.” Strictly speaking, we see a whole lot of time pass by in one page. There is a story behind the villains on this page, and if this whole web comic thing works out, I might even get to tell them! This was originally page 21 back in my […]
So this page returns to “traditional media.” This story very much evolved in bits and pieces over a 30 year time span. I want to say that I penciled this page around 2012 and inked it by hand in 2013. I was still very much into that cross hatching, James O’Barr look. I still dig […]
Page 18 is another page from one of my sketch books. This one also features new lettering and more “digital surgery.” I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that the ambulance in the bottom left corner is on loan from a 3 hour comic book challenge that I participated in a few months ago. […]
