I always feel very proud of being the main artist on Superfogeys: Origins and a little privileged, because I get to have some of my stuff inked by the super talented Brock Heasley! The current page of Harvey and Doctor Rocket’s origin was penciled by myself and inked by Brock who brings a ton of extra depth and precision to my art. This must be what John Byrne feels like when Terry Austin would ink X-men or Jim Lee and Scott Williams. Good sequential art is a combination of many things including color and story but the tandem of pencils and inks is paramount. As we see here a good artist can look great with the help of a great inker! Head over to Th3rdworld to see the full color, fully inked version!
I apologize for the lack of updates on Bullfinch this week, though two giant helpings of SFO should help. BF will be back on Friday, then we’ve got two more Superfogeys:Origins next week. Many thanks to my guest artist this week for his wonderful Bullfinch:Origins strip. Nice on Mitchell!
