One of the interesting things about going through the book of The Mystery of Edwin Drood and reading the musical, is looking at who they left in this particular piece of silliness, and why. There are a fair number of characters who wind up jettisoned outright, and I’m not sure the whodunnit plot is really …
That weekend reprint does seem to have gotten my Morituri brain going at least a little bit. No idea if this will turn into a fuller series of posts, but we’ll do this one and see if more happen to present themselves. This time up it’s faith, in the person of Jelene Anderson. Developing the …
Max (Bruise) wound up taking residence in my head design-wise this last week. He’s actually the only Spotlight character I’d drawn previously, though I kind of hate what I did now. So, being vaguely satisfied with what I’d sketched of some of his teammates, I thought I’d take another crack at him: Max is kind …
By the time Power Pack finished its second year, it had long stopped being the only series I collected. With the help of that well-stocked book store, I was collecting several series at that point. But, of course, those pesky little kid super heroes were still top of the list. Issue 25 changed up a …
I’ve been in a couple of different shows where I’ve tried a British accent of one kind or another, but because I’m me, I always find myself neck deep in accent research. Most of the time, it’s not really essential to what I’m doing (I have something workable already), but any excuse to try to …
A long while back, I had ambitions of doing a multi-post series on the elements I saw at play in the original, Peter B. Gillis run on Strikeforce: Morituri. At the time, I only did the one. I did get the trade collections of that whole run for a gift semi-recently, though. Mayhap I’ll dig …
I started rehearsing for a new show this week. Which means, of course, I’m about to think way too much about things. Welcome to the Mystery of Edwin Drood version of my nattering. I’m three-quarters of the way through the book the musical’s based on, though I think I’ve hit just about all of the …
I didn’t make quite as many promo posters for our upcoming local production of Peter Pan as I intended, and with the holidays and a show I’m actually in starting to rehearse, this is likely the last. I did want to get some equal time for our antagonist, though. And the Facebook version for those …
Managed to do another character / design sketch for Spotlight. As I mentioned in the Stallion post, most of the current members don’t really suit up when they go out hero-ing. There is one notable exception: Roc. Teresa has a fashion line just like everyone else, and I want to put together a look for …
This one is probably less comics-related than a lot of other bits, but it continues to speak to the many influences Power Pack had on impressionable, younger me. 1 I mentioned previously that Julie Power was one of the characters I related to almost instantly, largely due to her thorough love of fantasy and science …
