I drew this bad ass skull for my students today. My skull is at the other end of my body from my ass.

Druillet's Delirius I saw this in Forbidden Planet the other week. Seriously groovy stuff. I have it in an early French edition. My French is not THAT good so that adds to the 'otherness' of it. Not sure if I would want to read his stuff translated. I have Yragael Urm in the Dragon's Dream edition and try not to read the words. They're pretty bloody awful. Back on Topic. Saturday I spent a happy hour racking through '3 for a quid' long boxes buying about half the Vertigo Books of Magic run and various other bits and bobs. Including a Howard Chaykin thing which is the only comic I think I have ever come across where the covers were printed on thinner paper than the pages.

when I get through viewing the movies I do possess (about 2 years from now) I will definitely check those out. You too. I thought it was just me with a stupidly huge To Be Watched pile. 300 or so. (Not as big as it appears as I seem to have developed a habit of buying movies I already own and have not yet watched. So there are a few duplicates in there.)

I love the way Kirby hides Superman's face in these panels. Wasn't he having trouble with DC at the time? They didn't like the way he drew Superman and were getting other artists to go over Kirby's work to make him more Supermanny?

Two more ink drawings done tonight. I like these a lot more than the last two. I like them but wow! did you use a lot of tape to hold them onto the board. I'm jealous of people who have the courage to draw with ink. It's so instantly permanent. Unforgiving. I draw with pencil, erase, redraw, erase, redraw till I'm almost happy - then it's onto the lightbox to trace/ink, then onto the scanner and into Photoshop where I erase and draw and erase over the bare outlines I inked on the lighbox. This is the sort of stuff I end up with:

It's not great comic art but it pleases me. Thanks for the help, guys. Home by liam, on Flickr

Captain Truth I would guess the artist wasn't very good at hands.

Thanks for the suggestions, guys. I think I'm going to go with the Archie comics. To make the joke funny - to make any joke funny - the detail has to be common enough knowledge for most people to get it. Otherwise you end up writing gags that only three people will understand. I remember hearing Terry Pratchett saying he did a lot of research on ancient Egypt before writing Pyramids and realised he was writing a book that only he and three Egyptologists would find funny - so he watched a lot of Cecil B Demile movies and started again.

For the purposes of a joke in a comic strip I'm drawing I have a character living in a comic shop hiding in boxes of comics that he KNOWS will never be looked at because they are so non-collectable.
So the question I have is, what should be written on the box? My first thought would be 'Atlas Seaboard' but I'm sure you guys have better suggestions.
Help please?

It's a bit jarring seeing this young women in bed with Hal. Why? Is he gay? Or is she?

I just lashed out a fiver on eBay for a piece of pure nostalgia a 1972 hardback of Druillet's Delirius: My French is only a little better than it was when I was at school so I really don't understand what is going on for a lot of the time but, by 'eck, it's lovely stuff.

This has to be the most stupidly drawn rendering of Wonder Woman's tits I have ever seen. How is she supposed to even stand up without them falling out let alone fight bad guys or save humanity? (Her right shoulder looks like someone's flattened it with a shovel too.)

Not the usual sort of thing posted here but this is my single favourite panel from the consistently brilliant Bunny Vs Monkey strip from the weekly Phoenix comic. (A comic which my 6 year old son and 76 year old mum - and all the other kids and adults in-between - read with delight. And-now-we-press by the_junk_monkey, on Flickr
