Yeah, well I'm sorry to see you don't stand up when the Constitution is being torn down. Put your money where your mouse is, maybe I (and thousands of others) will be back.

My drawings of EVEN STEVEN with various weapons from comics and beyond were so successful (and so much fun to draw!) that I'm offering 3 MORE— difference being YOU get to choose the weapon!
These are available RIGHT NOW as ADD-ONS to the EVEN STEVEN book.

FROM THE FIRST TIME HE APPEARED, EVEN STEVEN was the breakout character from the IMPOSSIBLE JONES book. You can't plan these things, they just happen. People wanted more of him.
So now EVEN STEVEN has his own book.
Get one for yourself. See what the fuss is about.

EVEN STEVEN can create any weapon he needs to exactly match whoever he's fighting. So I did a series of drawings of ES with famous weapons from comics! They were a ton of fun!
They all sold out, but if you want to see 'em, I have a feeling they'll be in the book…

EVEN STEVEN has a strong moral code, like (altho' different from) Ditko's MR. A.
He has undefined powers, like the PHANTOM STRANGER.
He walks in those great character's footsteps, but he follows his own path.
See for yourself. Get the EVEN STEVEN book.
Don't wait.
