I've been sent to spread the message

Friday, October 31st, 2008

By my original plan, I should be on page 16 at this point. I’m not. I’m only on 15. I’m one page behind, but that’s okay, especially since at the beginning of this month, I was five pages behind. I’m mildly impressed with myself that I was able to catch up even that much. November [...]

Big wheels keep on turning

Monday, October 27th, 2008

Yes, this could be the most interesting issue of Love and Capes ever. Here I present a couple watching TV. Admittedly, they’re watching Battlestar Galactica, and that is pretty exciting. It’s probably one of the last episodes where they reveal the Final Cylon, which only increases the excitement. Especially coming off fourteen superhero heavy pages, [...]

Mid-Ohio-Con Charity Auction

Friday, October 24th, 2008

When I was at Mid-Ohio-Con this past year, I participated in a charity auction. Many of the guests got together and drew something to benefit Make-a-Wish and The Hero Initiative. Well, the auction is live now. And, if you feel a burning desire to buy some Thom Zahler artwork, you can go directly to the [...]

Every different nation, Spanish, Hatian, Indian, Jamaican

Friday, October 24th, 2008

I’m getting silly about this now. I finished this page late last night, technically early this morning, and then I plopped in front of the couch to watch Life on Mars. I got to bed pretty late, but the page got done, and I got my 1973 fix. Here’s my panel from page thirteen, which [...]

Mental Flossing

Friday, October 24th, 2008

A month or two ago, I posted a link to the always-excellent Mental Floss magazine, which was having a Tuition Giveaway contest. I did this because it was a good cause, and the promise of a link back. Well, said link back has been posted, so I expect to be flooded with a bunch o’ [...]

But my city was gone

Thursday, October 23rd, 2008

Here’s a panel from page twelve. I’m halfway home on #9. Yay, me! Heavily borrowing on the foundation of the 1980s, I’ve co-opted the idea that the Liberty League works via a UN charter. For an international law-enforcement agency, you’d need to have such a structure. It also helps me get around some due process [...]

Then it's me and my machine for the rest of the morning

Monday, October 20th, 2008

I had a light client day today, mostly sending clients roughs and waiting for replies. As a result, I managed to bang out another page of LNC today. Here, we get a scene of domestic bliss aboard the Liberty League Satellite. Two more pages in this sequence and then the story will break off in [...]

I go for younger women, lived with several awhile

Monday, October 20th, 2008

Things are really cranking along now, helped along by a couple of panels of really simple backgrounds. Here’s a panel from page ten, where Mark is shaking off a hangover. Okay, not really.

And Another One

Sunday, October 19th, 2008

Another review, from Comics Worth Reading: I was laughing from the cover, where Darkblade shakes down the artist to get featured on the cover. As the issue opens, Abby is having a hard time letting her sister Charlotte go study in Paris. Abby’s got her own concerns, though, as she’s planning her wedding to Mark, [...]

Branch water and tomato wine

Saturday, October 18th, 2008

Just finished page nine, a little earlier than I thought. I like it when the pages come easily. I don’t know if anyone will notice, but the device that Darkblade is pulling out is based on the Neutralizer that Rom the Spaceknight used. It’s not a point-for-point duplicate, but it’s clearly based on it. To [...]
