DC Comics Shazam Variant Covers
Here are 2 variant covers for the recent Shazam comics series, for issues #4 and #8, I think. Whenever I draw Captain Marvel, I always try to give it a little hint of C.C. Beck flavour - he was one of my favourite cartoonists.
DC Comics The Terrifics Issue 25 variant cover
Another nice change of pace, I tried to draw this one in a different style as I had been playing around more and experimenting with digital tools. About 90% of this cover was drawn in Procreate on my Ipad Pro with the Apple Pencil.
Marvel Comics Spider-man Life Story Issue 2 variant cover
An interesting assignment - I was asked to draw a variant cover for Spider-man: Life Story, for issue 2. Since the issue was set in the 1970's, I was tasked with trying to give the cover a "70's feel". Hence, I went all out in that direction.
DC Comics Shazam: The World's Mightiest Mortal HC Cover
This was for a hard cover collection of stories from the Shazam comics revival from DC in the 1970's. I was enthusiastic about drawing this, as Captain Marvel and those comics were some of the first comics I read as a kid.
Marvel Comics Presents, Issue 2 variant Cover
Another fun one, featuring the FF (in a way). This was a variant cover for the anthology series, Marvel Comics Presents. It featured 2 stories; one starring Dr. Doom and Reed Richards, and another starring Gorilla Man. I drew it to look evoke an old 50's double-feature movie poster.
Marvels Annotated Issue 2 Variant Cover
Had the chance to check off a bucket-list item: drawing the Fantastic Four for Marvel. This was a variant cover for the 25th anniversary edition of Marvels, issue #2.
