Artist's Comments

This is the piece that landed me the Manthing gig I did with J.M DeMatteis a decade back. Again it was coloured - and very nicely too - but I still prefer it in black and white.

Another career high point this one I think.

NOTE: This piece has had WAAAAAY more favs and views than the page I posted from the X-Men issue I drew many years ago [link] It's Great to see Manthing trounce the X-Men!!! LOL!

Poor big guy... he looks a little sad. Think he wants a hug?

Nice work, its easy to over do details and hatching in something like this but you keept a very nice balance

You almost got me back into buying comics with your Man-Thing work. Unfortunately my local shop at the time stopped selling it after issue 3 so that ended everything (it was hard for me to travel around looking for the books back then). The work produced for the first 3 books I spent many nights trying to replicate.

To this day my favorite depiction of Man-Thing. Too bad he just can't seem to have a long lasting series. Ever.

Yeah, it was sad. I worked damn hard on that stuff. he stupid thing was it launched at 40,000 copies when they predicted only 20,000. During the run it dropped to 20,000 copies - so the canned it. WTF? LOL! Why launch it in the first place? It was doing well!!!!

Thanks for the kind words and take care,

Did you ink this? It looks very crowquilly and like something that Danny Miki or Jon Sibal would do. Still I like it it adds a solidity to your work, plus the crosshatching is cool as well.

One's dumb and burns you if you're scared, the other is a super-brainy planet-saving hippy. Otherwise they're pretty much the same. Both invented the same weekend in the same flat legend has it...

Yup, my inks. I was trying to be more contemporary at the time, but it still has Barry Smith elements! :)
