Dean White on Captain America

Fantastic interview with Dean White over at Marvel.com about his work on the new Captain America. I did the flats for this – the art by John Romita Jr. and Klaus Janson is fantastic stuff, and the finished colors by Lee and Dean are amazing. I'll pop a few flats up in a couple of weeks.

Me... in the Secret Avengers?

This was a wonderful surprise for Christmas this year. The amazing Matteo Scalera managed to sneak me into The Secret Avengers #37. That's me becoming a Decendant right there! Many thanks Matteo!

Journey Into Mystery #646

Journey Into Mystery #646 is out now – there's a preview over at CBR – with words by Kathryn Immonen, art by Valerio Schiti and colours by the very talented Jordie Bellaire. I did the flats for this issue – wonderful art to work on.

Fables: Werewolves of the Heartland

Bill Willingham continues his impossible run of prolific, high-quality, highly varied stories based on the idea that all the fables, myths and stories of the world are secretly true, and that they all live together, hidden among the real, "mundy" world. The hardcover Werewolves of the Heartland tells the back-story of Bibgy Wolf – this time as a crack Nazi-hunting guerrilla in the dark forests of Germany. This past comes back to haunt him when he discovers a midwestern town populated entirely by werewolves that have been created by a beautiful, ruthless Nazi scientist who isolated a serum from blood that Bigby left behind when he helped foil a Nazi attempt to revive Frankenstein's monster to fight on their side.

I did the flats for this for Lee – so I've had a sneak peek at the art – it's fantastic. Who would have thought 18 months ago when I put a pre-order for this on Amazon that I would end up working on it!

Earthbound Dossier

 

A project I recently did some colors for  – Earthbound Dossier #1 – just came out. It's available as a free download over at drivethrustuff.

Publisher Ben Ferrari says "... Filling this book are introductions to dozens of characters who have appeared in the pages of Earthbound's books since it's inception in 2009. ... Earthbound Dossier #1 is our 18th book... We now have a large enough library of characters and teams to fill an entire book with pin-ups, complete with bios and stunning art. ...I want to thank you for giving Earthbound Dossier #1 a chance and I honestly hope you enjoy what you read."

Go over and grab a copy, why don't you?

Devovled

Dynamite Entertianment  announced at NYCC that Rick Remender is writing a new creator-owned series Devolution. Coupled with the breathtaking art of Paul Renaud, Devolution promises to be one of the most unique and innovative comics to be on the stands! I recently did the flats for Lee on the preview pages for this – can't wait to read the first issue.

Breast Cancer Detection Heroes

 

A new ad campaign in Mozambique by Associação da Luta Contra o Cancer (ALCC) is using Wonder Woman, Catwoman, She-Hulk and Storm to promote self-examinations for breast cancer prevention.

The ad copy says:

Nobody’s immune to breast cancer. When we talk about breast cancer there are no women or super women. Everybody has to do self-examination monthly. Fight with us against the enemy and, when in doubt, talk to you doctor.

The images are striking - the faces of the characters are only partially seen, but are easy identifiable.

Here’s a link to the artist’s DeviantArt page.
