Jack Kirby Challenge

So, the wonderful Jeff McComsey and I completed our Small Press Commandos comic  within the week timeframe, after I made him draw cars. Lots and lots of cars. You can read the full comic on the SPC site here, or on this blog right here.

You’ll notice we didn’t go the expected sci-fi route (though there was plenty to be had!). I wanted to try my hand a Kirby/Simon-style romance comic, and I think it turned out fun. I’d love to hear your feedback, so sound off in the comments!

Enter the Small Press Commandos

Just a heads up for everyone to keep their ocular units peeled for exciting stuff from the Small Press Commandos, a group of passionate indie comics creators (of which I am a part) that are trying something fun and unique. We’ve been paired up, given an info packet on a particular theme, and now we’ve got only one week to create a short comic story. That’s full production — concept, script, pencils, inks, colors, letters — the whole nine yards in just a week!

Our first assignment is Jack Kirby… a hell of a way to kick things off, as I’m sure you’ll agree. This first round ends Monday, May 30, 2011. We’ll be deploying our comics throughout next week, so keep checking the official blog!
