Lois and Supes

Another of my favorite comic book couples.

And just FYI, I've put a couple of recent sketches (Bat Family and Daredevil) up on eBay.

Lois & Clark (and Mxyzptlk)

Have a Happy Valentines Day, everybody!!

Superwoman

Laura requested I draw Superwoman after watching last week's episode of Smallville with me, so here she is!

Jimmy & Lois

In trouble again! This is what I imagine Jimmy & Lois would do with a Legionnaire ring. ;)

Also, it was announced today that I'm the artist on Captain America which is becoming Captain America & Bucky starting with issue 620. More here.

(edit) I just noticed that this is my 1,000th blog post. 1,000 woot!! : )

Lois & Clark

(click to Super-size)

This is one of those images I've had in my head for a while. Wanted to finally get it down on paper. Hope you enjoy. : )

Superman & Lois

I heard the news yesterday that Tom Mankiewicz, perhaps best known for his work on the Superman script, passed away. Superman is, in my opinion, the best movie ever made - so I thought I would do a small tribute to that on the blog today.

This is my version of the "You've got me? Who's got you?!" moment - one of my favorites in the movie. Do you have a favorite moment from Superman the movie?

LOIS LANE

This sketch of Superman's gal, Lois Lane was inspired not just by her skill at reporting the news, the eclectic company she keeps, or the fact that she looks tops in a pencil skirt... although any of those would be a valid inspiration to warrant committing her likeness to paper.

No, this sketch of Ms. Lane is all thanks to the hilarious, oft times foul-mouthed (cut her some slack, she was an Army brat and she works at a newspaper) 140 character-or-less updates that we get from her Twitter feed every day.

If you're on Twitter @planet_lois is a must follow.

Okay, that's it from me. Have a great weekend, kids. I'll see you all back here on Monday!!

"Can you read my mind?"

Sure, I just posted a sketch of Supergirl yesterday... but everybody's week could stand have a bit more super in it - even this blog:)

Books I'd Kill to Draw: Superman's Wife, Lois Lane

This sort of goes along with the Jimmy Olsen drawing from the other day. Lois Lane is another supporting character that I think could easily carry their own title, if done properly. She had her own title back in the day, with Superman's Girl Friend, Lois Lane, that lasted for all of 137 issues,as well as a handfull of one-shots and miniseries along the way. I think for it to work nowadays it might have to be a bit of a mash up of some of the silver-age kookiness and Lois actually using some of her reporter's instincts to get into the fray a bit though.
With this sketch I was trying to riff on the Fleisher Studios bow-lipped version with a slightly modernized version of her hair. I think she ended up almost looking as much like Huntress from the Birds of Prey TV show as Superman's gal. Still kind of dig the sketch though:D
