Marvel's DARK AGES sketch cover variant

Something different from me. I bought one of those blank sketch cover varants and did an original sketch on it. Marvel's Dark Ages No.1. The Thing on the front, and the Invisible Woman on the back (as a white outline). As the background was solid black I used Caran D'Ache colour pencils. A different style for me so I hope it works. 

Just to clarify, this is my original artwork drawn onto the outer covers of the actual Dark Ages comic. Bidding starts at £25 (including postage) and the auction ends a week tonight (23rd May). Here's the link where you can see more photos....

Make Mine Marvel!

Several years ago Panini UK were reprinting Chris Giarruso's Mini Marvels strips in their licensed Marvel comics. They eventually ran out of them so in 2006 they asked me if I could provide brand new ones, script and art for their new Rampage comic.

I was asked to keep to Chris' style to a certain extent, so the characters were more compact than I'd otherwise draw them. Even so, I really enjoyed doing the strip and it was refreshing to draw in a slightly different style.

Rampage eventually folded but a couple of years later, in 2008, I was asked to provide a second series for Panini's Spectacular Spider-Man comic. Panini's staff had coloured the strip when it was in Rampage (and a great job they did) but I was asked to colour the new series, which I enjoyed immensely. 

Here's a handful of my Mini Marvels strips. Firstly the rough pencils which I sent editors for approval, then the finished artwork prior to it being lettered by Panini.

Unfortunately, Disney (Marvel's owners) no longer allow outside companies to generate new artwork on the comics they license from Marvel but it was great while it lasted!
