MARY MARVEL

When my wife Laura suggested I draw Mary Marvel I was tempted to take my best shot at Mike Norton's interpretation of li'l Mary in Billy Batson and the Magic of Shazam but decided to hold off... at least until I get a chance to read the book :)

For this sketch I took inspiration mostly from my new DC Universe Classic Mary Marvel toy (It's just friggin' adorable) and a good dose of Bob Oksner... although I could never hope to live up to anything he ever produced.

Oh, and I tossed in the big rat because I was always disappointed that a few of 'em appear on the cover of Shazam #21 but no rats actually show up in the issue.

Okay, so if you ever wondered how nerdy I am, I'm think this post has given you all a pretty good hint :/

CAPTAIN MARVEL

Since all the cool kids have been drawing Captain Marvel lately I figured I'd take a stab at the Big Red Cheese myself.

The cool kids being Mike Norton, Tom Fowler and Doc Shaner.

Mike is actually the artist on the upcoming Billy Batson and the Magic of Shazam series for DC, written by the team of Art Baltazar and Franco. I couldn't be more excited to start get my hands on this book. Looks like it'll be a ton of fun.

Also, the final issue of The Mighty is on stands today!!

And don't forget to grab yourself a copy of Siege: Embedded #1 while you are out at the comic shop. It's on shelves today as well!! Both by yours truly :D
