So here is Psychemaster. My first superhero comic book! I created this in 1986 when I was in high school, for the Homewood-Flossmoor Comic Book Club! Besides getting a 40% discount on comics from a local comic book shop, we[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
John Macron working in my best attempt at a John Byrne styled laboratory. It pains me to see how I drew faces back then…and yet I’m not entirely sure my new stuff has gotten any better. I see a lot[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
There he is, Psychemaster. Wow, that design does not hold up well. The Vilk are cool, but I always had a hard time drawing those guys.
I remember being proud of my radical page layout on this one. I broke away from the boring 2×3 panel template and opened it up a bit. Ha. Clearly I stopped using any kind of reference for anatomy, too.

I had fun drawing this page. Apparently I have fetish for dials, meters, and gauges. They really push my buttons… Ok, Psychemaster can’t get a break. He saves the world from alien invasion and this is how life repays him. No[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
