Description

Had lots going on in recent months and in 2025 in general so haven�t been on CAF much but glad to be back and posting something!

I have a couple non-published DWJ pieces (see Havok commission and a color Optimus Prime in my gallery) but have wanted the one right published piece�target acquired :) Love Beta Ray Bill�s origin story, his look, and of course his name, the latter of which may be the best in comics. And DWJ writing and drawing Bill was a perfect combo. As far as the OA goes, only issues #1 and #4 of the 5-issue mini were not sold complete, and I whiffed on both those initial drops. So I�m glad to add this example from issue #1 this second go around!

Here Bill GRABs a Knull-possessed Fin Fang Foom then a BOOMing flip. Gotta love the sound effect lettering DWJ draws right on the board, along with the speed lines in the second. Final panel was the deal sealer � a battle weary but still determined Bill! DWJ said in his commentary that this was probably his favorite panel from the book.

Checks all boxes � Bill prominently featured, in an action scene, and lotsa that gritty energy. Thanks, HCH, and happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate!
