Suicide Squid

One day, Josel Nicolas and I were discussing the merits of John Ostrander's Suicide Squad run, which we haven't read (hahahaha!) & Micheal Fiffe's superhero comic Copra. When suddenly, Josel blurted out... "SUICIDE SQUID!" & suggested I create a character out of the name. So after taking a few days off of drawing Attack Bear pages. Here he is...

Design influenced by Rob Liefeld (because a human / squid hybrid needs them shoulder pads & pouches) & Fiffe's stuff. Tried spoofing those U.S. Army - Army of One ads that appeared in early 2000 / mid-2000 comic books. This guy will be appearing soon in the Yeti Crab comic...

First comic project for the year is...

DONE! Wooo!

My first long (yet still short) Yeti Crab story is finally finished. Very very excited see the thing screen printed. Will be making a full length Yeti Crab comic before the year ends. Check out pages 1 & 2 again, now with words!

Also, here are some WIP logos for the upcoming comics...

Off to finish Attack Bear!

The Origin of the Yeti Crab

Almost done with my 7-page komix contribution to a screen-printed komix anthology out first quarter of this year. The short komik is about the origin of the Yeti Crab. A character I created after seeing a picture of an actual yeti crab (MOST AWESOME CRUSTACEAN EVER!). Originally planned to just do 3 to 4 panel strips with YC & use them as fillers for my auto-bio comix, ???. The first story that I proposed for the anthology got dropped since the page count was cut down. Thankfully, the curator of the anthology suggested a YC story. Brilliant idea, the problem was I didn't have any long YC stories planned out. So how was I able to conjure up this story / long term plans for YC? By listening to the old The Shadow radio show (voiced by Orson Welles!). I love the pulps, The Phantom, Doc Savage, Conan. Enigmatic heroes, crazy stereotypical villains, world spanning high adventure, weird science. Add some Tintin by Hergé, some superhero styled origin and my fascination with cryptids. This is what you get...

Sorry, no dialogue / narration yet. I have 1 more page to ink then finish off the lettering. Hope you get the komix when it comes out.

P.S. - Don't know the title of the anthology yet but it'll feature local komix peeps such as... Josel Nicolas, Dark Chaps (of SSM!), Trizha Ko, Mica Agregado & some other guys, i think.

P.P.S. - HAPPY NEW YEAR!

More Komix!

For a screen printed zine project thing... Had to park my orginal comic for the project since it exceeded the new page count.

???#2 & Mind Control

Coming out later (March 2, 2012 - 8PM) at BLTX2! Cover above... 34 pages of comicbookness! Be amazed at my sloppy lettering & migraine-inducing typos!

A special thingy (by Josel Nicolas of Windmills fame) for my thingy! Yeti Crab!

Also, the first full-length comic to be published under the QBCCC imprint! Mind Control by Powil Guzmanos! A 50-page one-shot!

Adam David's foreword for the comic...

Thanks for printing the books Josel!

See you all later!
