Here we have another villain for the Wonder Heroes (by Steve Ahlquist) to challenge - Spratsis 3 of 8, an extraterrestrial rodent who knows how to recycle anything (and make it dangerous). #wonderheroes #steveahlquist #superheroes #rats! #supervillains

Superheroes need supervillains, otherwise they spend valuable adventure time righting societal wrongs, cleaning up the environment and tossing greedy rich people into orbit. One of the supermenaces in Wonder Heroes 4.0 by Steve Ahlquist was the Neboukichan, a kaiju summoned up by a doomsday cult.

Susan is the protagonist of Wonder Heroes 4.0 by Steve Ahlquist. (I’ve been calling it Wonder Heroes 2.0. I just checked the copy of the manuscript on my hard drive. Ooops.) Doesn’t she look cool in her Wonder Armor?

Say yes.

Steve Ahlquist wrote Wonder Heroes 2.0 for JukePopSerials.com. I was brought in to come up with visuals that could be used to sell/license the IP. JukePop were the ones approving my stuff. Below are some of the rejected costume designs. #steveahlquist #superheroes #costumes #illustration

This illustration is the online thumbnail for Wonder Heroes 2.0, a novel Steve Ahlquist wrote for the defunct site JukePopSerials.com. JukePop is gone and so Wonder Heroes is offline. Bummer. These days Steve reports independently on Rhode Island news. substack.com/@steveahlquist

For most folks, the symbols are enough to make them turn back. For a special few they are an enticement to saunter onward.

The fact that the Heap was born from the body of Baron Eric von Emmelman, a WW1 fighter pilot, makes little difference in most of the original stories. He could just as well have been born from the body of Vladmir the plumber or Olga the shopkeeper. #theheap #swampmonster #somedaycomic

My last newsletter of 2025 went live this morning. A little art, a little rambling, a Christmas comic. skookworks.com/2025/12/15/t...

My cover illustration for the 2010 3Hombres edition of Dark Conspiracy. For once I remembered to leave room at the top of the piece for the title text.

In good times, we need each other. In bad times, we need each other. All of us. Yeah, even those assholes who can only think of themselves. They’ve good for target practice.

It’s just another day in the apocalyptic dystopia. The rats howl at the dawn. The sunlight comes down in oily rainbow colors through the toxins in the air. Mutants get up to hunt the genetically stable. The genetically stable try to keep hold of their sanity and their weapons. What a lovely day!

Frickin’ gremlins. No matter how cool the tech gets, the bastards always show up to tear it apart.

One of the unfinished pages from that unfinished story that had been hiding on a shelf in my brother’s closet gathering dust and malice. Next to it is the finished this week (but will need an edit once the rest of the story is finished) version of the page.

I found eighteen pages, in various stages of completion of an unfinished comic, on a shelf in the back of a closet at my brother’s house earlier this year. The original script was by someone I no longer speak to. So I'm writing a new script, revising the art and completing it. Eventually.

They might be friends. They might hate each other. They might be frenemies. They might have never met. They might be good guys. They might be bad guys. They might be NPCs doomed to die. They might be the heroes of their own stories. They’re not talking.

What’s worse than zombies?

(Oooo. Ick. You win. That is worse.}

Multi-zombies is the correct (if not strictly accurate) answer. Fortunately, with zombies, twenty heads are as dumb as one.

Zombies are, generally, aggressive, unpleasant and kinda stinky. Intelligent, tool using zombies are all that plus the ability to insult your mother and your cat.

When traveling the back roads of apocalypse it’s always a good idea to bring a friend with a good sense of humor, a lot of ammo and good aim.

It sits in the crags, watching, waiting patiently. When will it take flight? When it is bored? Hungry? When it is time to vote or go shopping?

Outside the hell cities, the roads are no less damned. Many a marker has been left to commemorate those who tried going there (anywhere but here) but never came back again.
