It’s a wildly under appreciated comic. John Ostrander did great work on this comic. Personally, with some of the teams the lead character puts together, I think you can see an early backbone for The Suicide Squad take shape in this comic, minus Amanda Waller. Noir/Sci-Fi/Fantasy. So good.

and multiple awards for their work. A series that would feel more at home in an issue of Heavy Metal than from anything that comes from Marvel, the comic targets an adult audience. As a side note, probably one of my favorite #comics. I can’t recommend it enough . #ComicArt #ComicCover #CoverArt 3/3

I haven’t made it to Garmisch, but have covered a fair number of places in the country. Vienna I think remains my favorite city, but the best Christmas market is the Medieval Christmas Market at the ruins of Aggstein Castle. If you have a chance to visit again, almost anytime of year is a good time.

Innsbruck - towards the other end of the country. Lovely city. Finally got there at the end of October. Spent the last week traveling through western Austria, Switzerland, and Liechtenstein. A little taste of Innsbruck as a reminder 😁…

Nice! I did a Ton Waits drawing a few years back. Such a great face to draw. Been thinking about revisiting him.

Wood was an interesting study. A talented #artist had a bit of a tragic story. In spite of a prolific career, which included a wide array of comics, illustrations, book covers, trading cards and other paraphernalia, Wood stated he had many regrets in regards to being an artist. Born in 1927, Wood 4/

any run-ins with the law, and failed to account for the massive spike in single-parent households in the US in the post-war era.
Many of the same politicians that were in McCarthy’s corner glommed onto this culture/class-war cause, and did long-term damage to a then rapidly growing industry. 3/
