The Haunted Painting pg. 3

I dig the skull pupil in panel two. RIP Jack.

sorry to hear of Jack's passing, he had such an interesting and storied career in the medium on both newspaper strips and comics for so many different publishers and his independent projects, RIP.

I tried reading The First Kingdom when it was collected by Titan Books but couldn't make it through. Nevertheless, I respected Jack's ambition and his early willingness to create works outside the major comics companies. This piece and his other pages show the kind of talent he brought to the drawing boards over 70+ years of comics.

Just yesterday drawin', they let me know who was gone
Liam, what Jack has made put your inks to blue
You haunted out his painting and it came so strong
I got from kickstarter who you sent it to

I've seen fire and I've seen rain
Unseen story page that I thought you’d letter then
I've seen lonely times then I saw you’d be a friend
But I always thought Katz I'd see your campaign

Oh, I hadn't heard that Jack Katz had passed! But I suppose in some weird way it's fitting, given that he spent an entire life and career going unknown by most comic fans. I picked up the book Liam crowdfunded  and there's so much cool stuff in it. You ended up with a pretty cool looking original!

Fantastic, evocative inks!

Fantastic inks and some menancing looks.

Love the mood of the piece. It looks amazing!
