Spider-Punk! He was cool this whole time!
He was probably my favorite character from the last Spider-Verse. I appreciate a character who surprises you after multiple viewings.

I'm glad somebody else nabbed this one before I could get to it, but I -am- definitely going to spend the rest of the week thinking about it.
![A note from '92, written by Alex Toth. I'll try to type it out as best I can below--
"This one's for fun- yours and mine!
To cast their upcoming extravaganzas, movie studios often resort to the 'cattlecall', come one, come all
Such was the case in 1950...
WILDCAT
*in this tale I can't resist titling 'WILDCATTLECALL" (there- I did it, and I'm glad!)
[What's better than one Wildcat? How about 357? Yup- So far-]
-- so it was, outside the casting office gate of miracle pictures -- ' if it's a good pictuer, it's a miracle!' You must've heard their motto.
{Not bad, huh? Had my wife stitch it up for me, soon as I heard}
{Yeah--? Well, don't look now, but it's popping seams all over} "](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:a7sgp6b6ii57yjjscfyxzjjh/bafkreigdrn4n2yry62zc6u7asn46edd3c77kbb6fah2cvcede3odygdo2q@jpeg)

Found while organizing after moving the office- Outtakes from the cover to Terrifics #15, aka @mitchgerads.bsky.social's profile pic. By my kids way back in '19. Translations in the alt text.

Got it because (1) I've heard of it and (2) I like the cover.

I've been busy with the move and haven't had much opportunity to draw. Getting back into it.

Hey all- I'm currently in the middle of moving my office and looking to consolidate a bit, so I'm running a 35% off sale on the original art store - docshaner.bigcartel.com
Now through Monday, please share if you feel moved to do so.

Metamorpho! Rex is a top 10 DC character for me thanks to Ramona Fradon, and one of my favorites to draw. Of all the Terrifics, he turned out to be the one I missed the most afterward. Glad to see folks discovering him thanks to Superman. Also everybody should read Ewing/Lieber's book!

Mr. Terrific! Like Hal Jordan, Terrific's a character I didn't have much familiarity with before I got to work on him, and now I've got a real soft spot for him. Pulled the costume here from a few places, from the Terrifics design to his look in Superman.

This was how I saw them fitting together to stand next to the other books' characters. From 2017, I think. I was moving across the country at the time and because Ivan Reis ended up drawing the first few issues his drawings were used instead, which I understand.

Still digging through the Terrifics' folder. These standalone drawings were meant to be put together in a big jam piece for The New Age of Heroes announcement. Still really like the Metamorpho in particular.

I was looking through my old Terrifics folder this morning, found these lines for a cover I ended up not doing. I think it was Terrifics #17. Stopped right before getting to the big bug monsters they were fighting off. I loved drawing Plas' face though.
