Zita the Spacegirl by Ben Hatke

Ben was signing books and drawing for the kids (large and small) on FCBD at Bedrock City Comic Company near my house.

My eldest daughter, a pre-school teacher, paid a visit to get some stuff for her classroom and I decided to hit Ben up for a drawing of his title character.

At first, we couldn't find a pencil so I called my wife who came over with a #2 plus her colored pencils. Well, by the time she was able to get to the store, we'd found a pencil and Ben had completed a B&W drawing using markers.

However, since we now had colored pencils, I asked him to color it up and he did. I think it looks great.

Feel free to buy some of Ben's books, you'll be glad you did.
