Thank You, Liger! - pg. 1

Talk about DWJ magic!

You chose a winner. Especially love those backgrounds!

Can you SMELL what M L is cooking?!

Powerful movement from DWJ.  Also... did you say "staged wrestling?" What is "staged wrestling?"

Rarified air among the modern masters!

While DWJ didn't invent the techniques on display here, he certainly is leaving an indelible mark on them. Gorgeous page that definitely shows his passion for the "sport".

Powerful page from a modern master. Looks like a fun book!

Fantastic! Welcome to the club! Damn good story too. 

When the Liger gets tough
The tough gets Liger, tough, tough, huh, huh, huh
When the Liger gets tough, the tough get ready

Tough, tough, tough

Yeah, oh, do da do da
I got artwork to show you
Red Shoes' reffing today
I'm Liger bomb frog splash in motion
I gonna do shooting star press my way
When the Jushin gets tough
The tough get wrasslin'

I'm gonna give your head 'cross brainbuster
That's the price you're gonna to pay
Tokyo Dome, you'll stand and deliver
And give me steaks in the Ribera way woh

Darlin', I'll be any champion
Darlin', I'll sell anything

Oh (oh) Dan will draw you (can ink brush you)
And do the things that wrestlers do?
Oh (oh) want to hold you (wanna hold you)
I gotta get to suplex you, oh

When the going gets tough
The tough get Liger
When the Thunder gets rough
The tough get rough
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Oh baby

His Wrestletober illustrations are cool enough, but when you see a full page like this it is impressive. This has just as much detail and action as one of the best pages from Do A Powerbomb! #1. DWJ puts his heart and soul into everything he does, especially with the things that he loves, and this is a prime example. Liger! Liger! Liger!

Fabulous page! I love how he illustrated the crowd with only simple, curved strokes to represent the people's heads, yet when you look at it as a whole, he sells the technique so well that it really looks and feels like a real crowd.

Such an awesome story and you can feel the passion he has for it too! Congrats on the pick up, glad the story went to a great home!

"!"  Spectacular page --- DWJ will make a wrestling fan out of me yet!   

That panel of the ring is insanely cool! Thanks for sharing!

DWJ crushing this page. Fantastic storytelling and draftsmanship. Congrats on snagging this one. 

I think my wrestling name would be Mr Onomatopoeia. I have a bizarrely huge love for the technique, and wouldn't that be cool? But not as cool as this ashcan page. (Agreed that there's not much better than an artists passion project) And I love the usage here, too. SHA-SPEAR? Heh, excellent. KRAKA-SWEET! Congrats
