What if Superman’s origin was like the Fantastic Four!

Scientist Clark Kent pilots an experimental shuttle and gets bombarded with cosmic rays and becomes Superman.

Just a fun project I started for myself.

@gailguerrero.bsky.social wrote an amazing story for this anthology and I'm so glad I got to illustrate it. Be sure to grab yourself a copy to read it and the other amazing comics inside.
In "Alone on the Apanohuacalhuia Shore", an #AroAce man dies and finds himself in the Mexican underworld without a xoloitzcuintle guide.

Now the man must reflect on whether there is something wrong with him...or he's just meant for a different path.

It was a real treat to contribute to this anthology and especially to illustrate @gailguerrero.bsky.social story. It's a beautiful story and I hope you all can check it out!
I'm so excited to finally say that I have a comic in this awesome anthology. It's a story about life, death, and finding purpose as an aromantic person. It's inspired by Mexican folklore and illustrated by the great @salissketch.bsky.social 🖤 Please support this Kickstarter!

Love him or hate him the fact remains that in the final years of his life Stan Lee was the victim of elder abuse. We know this because Stan was suing his abusers, but this new "documentary" is only adding on the exploitation of Stan and it's disgusting to see Jon Bolerjack add on to it.

I first discovered the work of David Lynch in high school with Blue Velvet and years later I’d see Twin Peeks and was hooked. He inspired me to think differently about my approach to art and writing. Thank you David Lynch.
