FLASHBACK

Some of you hep cats from way, way back may remember a project I started a few years ago called SUPER GROOVY MAN. It is my take on a very 1970's style superhero. My comics prefrence has always been of the, horror/comedy/sci-fi type, so this was my first attempt to do a comic more along the classic MARVEL style superhero that would have existed in the 7o's.

As I clean up ZOMBIE SUB 920, I have been thinking more and more about SGM, and I really want to finish it up, so....... up, up, and AWAY-YYYYYYYY we go!

FUNKY RETRO COLOR!

ON VACATION ... IN STUDIO

Greetings gang! I am have a terrific time taking a much needed, mid-winter vacation right here in the comfort of my very own home studio.  The ever lovely, and beautiful Michelle is here also, and she was kind enough to snap this snapshot of me making with the coloring and touch-ups for ZOMBIE SUB-920.

As my work continues to gain interest both here and on Facebook, I want to extend a warm heartfelt thanks to all of you who have taken the time to tell me you dig my stuff...you are all super groovy.

PRETTY WOMAN IN COLOR

I spent the weekend in grand geek style. I watched an old horror movie, ( after pizza and wine ) colored the final page of my comic, ( seen above ) visited a comic shop I never went to before,( Chris' comics of Hampton NH ) where I bought a butt load of classic comics for not much $$$... AND to top it all off I visited a flea market where I bought a real life submarine officers cap and belt for REAL cheap, ( I'm talkin' way low bucks here folks ) WoW! The hat I intend on wearing as I hawk this puppy upon it's completion.... so LOOK for me at all the spring/summer cons!

I sure had a fantabulous time! I hope all you hepped up hombre's made the most of your wacky weekends. Until next time cats and kitties, stay loose.... ( er, um.... but not TOO loose ) like, I wouldn't want anyone to come unwound or nuttin'

Peace Ya'll~

THE PLOT THICKENS!

Oh how the wheels are spinning now my friends.... Thicker-er, and thicker-er the plot, um.... well, THICKENS. Just a few pages left, some clean-up, a dash of coloring, and a pinch of lettering, and this comic will be sent to the press room. February vacation is looming ever closer, and the goal at hand is to finish as much as possible of this retro beauty by then.

I sure hope all you monsters from Maine to Malibu are keeping your little tootsies toasty during this cold snap we're having...Br-rrrrr! I myself have broken out the sun screen, beach towels, ect, and I'm heading off to the trusty time machine, ( my studio ) for a trip back to poolside circa summer of '76.

Boogie on bro-beasties~

LIVE FROM SANTAS WORKSHOP

T'was the night before Christmas an' all thru the blog.... not a creature was stirring... not even a frog! Exceptin' me of course... I couldn't resist just one more post to prove to you guy's and ghouls that this whole ZOMBIE SUB 920 idea I had way, way back in June is gunna be a real deal comic type book someday, ( by FCBD I'm hoping ) anyhow here it is... now the world may know at last that the treacherous monkey-men, the fragile foes of the fourth alliance are in fact in leauge with the dredded Simeons of Sirus 7.

Gobble it up my pretties~

Mitchell out-

READ ONLY POST

Happy holiday hello-de-do's to you comic-blogger friends. Todays inspired offering gives you a little bit of an idea as to the story flow by way of showing you a tid-bit of text from late in the story. I did some faint pencil outlines, ( and inked a few panels ) last night, but really nailed some lettering, ( around which I will ink up all the images later ) sometimes I letter first, sometimes not, meh.... I know, I know cuckoo huh? Anyway... I gotta give some shout-outs here to Mykal Banta who has been posting some really jive stuff over at his GOLD KEY COMICS blog ( see ma blog roll missys and mistas ) in fact the keyed up king even took a request from yours true blue-ly, an' posted up some undifineable UFO yum-yumms.... check it out! Well I'm just a blabberin, an a yabberin, so it's time for me to shove off, and grab me some badly needed shut eye, but all you cats and crazies be sure sure to have a safe and comic book filled Christmas, and thanks to everyone who is taking an intrest in my humble efforts at cartoon-ery bufoon-ery :)

A POST FROM THE FRONT

Hello there blogging boys and girls.  I found another page to show you today.  This one isn't colored or lettered yet, but it looked kinda nifty in this sepia toned digi-cam snapshot I took today.  Hope you enjoy it.

AND NOW, FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT...

Those of you who know anything about me, know for certain that on any given day I can be relied upon to interupt one thing, and say: " Hey... check out this entirely different thing over here!" It's just part of my weird nefarious charm :) Any-hoo.... I was organizing a few things in my studio before beddie-bye last evening, when the dust and spiders scattered to reveal this little spooky tidbit I did quite some time ago. My brain said: " Hey.... check this out, I don't think I've ever bloged this piece before, so I checked, and sure enough I haven't.

So here it is guy's and ghouls.... a little bit of random geekery from Uncle Muck.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS

Attention! All crew members man your battle stations....THIS IS NOT A DRILL!!

I was going to finish and post this page after the upcoming holiday, but instead I figured I would give all you Thanksgiving turkeys a treat, and post it post haste. I know I enjoy seeing the rough stages of work someone else has done, so I'm guessing you guys might too. It's only half a page because .... well, I gotta have some secrets right?

Most of you regulars know this by now, but for the newly converted I'll toss out once again that I work at (regular) comicbook size. That's a page area of 6"x10" folks! Not to toot my own whistle, but I'm pretty happy with the level of detail I am starting to get from a two and one half inch square panel like the two above. If you revisit some of my earlier posts from a few years back you will see this has been a long time getting to this level.

Enjoy the Birds, and pass the Stuffin' !
