WIP: Dazzler

Alison Blaire! The most sparkly mutant of them all. Forget that blue leotard she wore in the '90s or whatever. Her pearly white jumpsuit with the giant lapels and disco-ball necklace is where it's at!

I always complain about certain heroes wearing tights, because it's dumb, but Dazzler has a good reason to wear them. The reason is that she is a Dancing Queen.

Catching up

HAWKSMOOR:



I'm all finished the art on Secret History of the Authority: Hawksmoor #6! Look for it on August 27th! See how it ends!

Hawksmoor was really exciting to work on, not to mention challenging, rewarding, and FUN! Thanks for a great script, Mike Costa. And thank you Scott Peterson and WildStorm for being awesome to work with, and letterer Rob Leigh and Chris and Clyde and the other production guys for getting the book out on time.

Also, massive thanks to my four obliging Hawksmoor models: Frazer, Nate, Patrick and Nick, haha... that's them above, but hopefully no one can tell who posed for which issue.

SAN DIEGO RECAP:



Got back last week from another awesome comic-con! Each year it gets better and I feel like I belong there a little bit more (for better or worse). This year was busy: I drank heavily, signed at the DC booth Fri-Sun, wailed at the WildStorm karaoke party, ate fish tacos, and of course met lots of other creators that I really admire.

I picked up a few excellent and carefully chosen books (including Cameron Stewart's artbook), but not too many, because I didn't want to have to check any bags at the airport. I would have met my carry-on-only goal, too, if it weren't for the lovely but very hefty and boxy Conan statue that Kevin presented me with on the last day. Thanks a lot, Seccia.
