This is not one I would have ever expected, but apparently Taschen is going to collect Hal Foster's complete run in Tarzan's Sunday comic strip. Followed by Burne Hogarth's run.

I’m always talking about drawing people’s childhoods. Here’s a few examples of the mid 80’s when I drew coloring/activity books inbetween comic jobs. I found these on the web and a few of you who are sharp-eyed may even notice a certain character I drew in as a joke in a Captain Power coloring book.

This was a very important job career wise for me. Ditko breakdowns that I tightened up to full pencils and inked along with Al Williamson. This lead to me inking Alpha Flight for 25 issues. You can see Al already inking away on this page.

This could be the unified Dem position. It is wildly popular. Puts the regime on defense on two fronts at the same time. Good policy, good politics.
The Congressional Progressive Caucus, a group of nearly 100 House Democrats, will announce later today that it's formally endorsing legislation to strip $175 billion from ICE and put it toward affordable housing. www.huffpost.com/entry/doj-fe...

I’m on a nostalgia kick. I LOVED the Super Friends. It was my first introduction to these fantastic characters. I may eventually do a companion piece of the Legion of Doom.

My first commission on Vgen ✨ A background painting of a post office. The first version was my original and the second was after changing it based on client feedback. Which do you like better?
