Description

Pinup I did recently of the Hulk.

Back in 1995, the last year I drew comics, Marvel offered me the job of 'new character development'. It would have been both fun and lucrative; playing around with new characters is the kind of doodling and pure creativity most of us love; and if any characters 'take off' and become popular, get their own books, movies, cartoons, whatever, the creator of that character gets a royalty cut of all that.

However, I was unhappy with my life and was leaving comics at that time, so I turned it down.

Each artist has to 'interpret' an existing character, or their own new character, in their own way. It was validating to know Marvel liked my character designs enough to offer me the job. I think a lot about the characters and how to do something unusual with them.

With Hulk... when he's breaking out of his 'normal' character, Bruce Banner, and is becoming a huge - er - hulk, you have to figure, with that sudden huge growth, skin and muscles are going to be stretching and popping all over the place. I liked drawing some of that stretching, where it looks like he might be in pain and very uncomfortable with some of that stretching. Maybe bits of muscle and skin are still holding on to their old size and shape and are pulling at each other. I didn't go overboard with this, as I'm not reinventing him a new look, but I enjoyed playing with it a little.

You also have to have a little 'suspension of disbelief', as the movie term goes. You know, suspend the fact that what is happening with a character is totally unbelievable. So you watch the transformation into Hulk and you put aside your disbelief, just to enjoy the creativity of it.

But I just cannot suspend disbelief about his pants! Sure, he can transmogrify from Dr. Banner into this huge muscular creature... but for me to believe that his pants also go from a size 28 waist to about a size 500 waist?!!! I cannot get there. Sorry. Skin, bones, muscle are living stuff so they can be transformed; but jeans? So I have to make Hulk's pants - at least at the waist - a little more human-sized. Can't have him ripping right out of those pants and running around with his junk hanging loose. We do not want to see that. Okay, maybe some of us do. But I don't.

So here's a little 'Hulk being Hulk', smashing through something. And angry that the girls just aren't attracted to him. It's only a little extra saliva and snot, right? What's wrong with a little French kiss... just makes it more moist! He can't understand why women cannot just accept and love him as he is. Sigh.

Hope you enjoy something about my rendition of Hulk. I might do another drawing sometime and really cut loose and figure out what the crazy transformation should make him look like, no holds barred...
