That's a great page!  Solid in-betweener panels and has some of that "trippy-ness" I loved feom the art in these issues.

Really like this one.  Some great and elegant panels.

Well said Unc Marc!

Thank you good Sir!  Glad to put a name to this piece and was a joy learning about his life!  I really appreciate you helping and sharing your knowledge! 

Now I am Strong

Born Alone with nothing but my DeWitts

Hard not to become Jayneded

Walk with bad luck and Whistler

But all that was makes my now

DeWitts Abound

Not Jayneded

A Happy Whistler

Now I am Strong

Well observed and beautifully said.  Thanks Uncle Marcus!

I'll just leave these actual hit song lyrics here:

Low, get low (get low)
Get low (get low), get low (get low)
(Come on!)
To the window (give dem di dance now)
To the wall (to the wall) (buss di dance now)
'Til the sweat drop down my balls (my balls!)
All these bitches crawl (crawl)
Y'all skeet skeet motherfuckers (motherfuckers)
Y'all skeet skeet God damn (God Damn!)
Y'all skeet skeet motherfuckers (motherfuckers)
Y'all skeet skeet God damn (come on!)

Love this page and always enjoy being able to look at pages of original art from this series.  Thanks for posting and congratulations!

These pages are just some great work!  Love seeing them in black and white.

Lovecraft, perhaps loved his craft

But amongst the Old Gods don't be daft

He played with dark things

He saw what dark brings

The ineffable, a Cthulu, perhaps even worse

Like Houdini, played with magic perhaps brought back a curse

For those who delve beyond the nightmares

They find staring back the Old God's glares

But know true dear reader

Lovecraft always knew, now your a believer

......Lovecraft man

Congrats!  Love every page from this series.

Hey Marcus, check the additional image.  Made something for ya.

I didn't start the fire

It's always been burning 

Since the world's been turning

They looked at me with fear and ire

Never took it Easley on me

The pieces made the whole you see

A doctors mechanations and people conspired

I never need to sleep but I am so tired

Never takes it Easley on me

I didn't start the fire

It's always been burning....

Thanks James, was great meeting you at OAX!

Lee, this is an awesome piece!  Pure class and awesome imagery!

Some things are black and white

Some things grounded some in flight

Black ink, night, day, fresh fallen snow

An idea, a love, a rage...all one knows

An artist and their pen

Ones enemies and their friends

A boy's life burnt to cinder

A man's future doused and hindered

A mother and father now gone

Who shall sing to their children A song?

One of hope and better days

One to keep the evils at bay

This is where a tortured mind can arise

If backed by power it may terrorize

The cycle goes on with new ash in its wake

To carry on in such a way, a monumental mistake

The boy of ash, cinder and pain

Came a man, a plan, and a name....

I am Toyo Harada

That there...is a perfect kirby page.

I really like this moment of lore from the marvel universe.  I have a little sub collection of the El Shabbah Nur Apocalypse form and the creation if Mr. Sinister so I love this!

Yeah, its good stuff and the killing intent in the eyes of Namor on panel 4.  Plus I love the text from that panel which is coming from The Thing who was remembering the moment and said...

"Johnny, that stupid hot head...I loved that kid.  Ev'n today I can't firget that noise he made."

Coming from an artist as yourself that means more....and I entirely agree!

You honestly just full fledged made me need to read Night Force...I must know what is going on...and what happens in issue 3!?!?  I bought the whole series a couple years back butnirs been sitting in a long box....you just bumped it up my reading list. 

Yeah I thought it was a neat piece.  Especially since it was published on so many issues and I will say it does have some power to the logo's imagery.  It's my first piece of original art more in the promo/production end of things but since my goal was to get a piece representative of boneyard press as a publishing entitiy, I think I picked the right one.

Make Mine Marvel

The tales of a great novel

To the stars and from the streets

Heroes journey's wins and defeats

Super powers, battle pages and drama galore

Teams, loners, villains, love and war

Pencils and inks illustrates

The written word facilitates

What a wonderful thing to see

Paper that can show you anything

Gets to the mind and heart manix carnal

Make Mine Marvel!

Verse 2

Blacker than the blackest of inks

One Below All pours all color down the sink

But it's gamma be all alright

One Above All shines all the colors in light

Hulk may smash and hulk may destroy

Evil may play his strings and make him their toy

But it's gamma be alright

The war of destruction and creation goes on

Singing all the heroes and villains songs

Rally the the criminals, warriors and kings

But I know who wins between the horns and the wings

It's gamma be alright

I'm also a bit surprised this series doesn't get more love.  Great characters origin story, adds depth to the lore, shakespearean-esque in its scope, really well written and great art.  It's got the perfect package to be on some must read lists.  The only thing I wonder is if it the series is considered canon.  There is a "reveal" at the end that always made me wonder this.

Thank you very much!

Nearing the end of the World

Deep the remaining are furled

Dwindiling in Earth just a few remain

A sad world of cruelty and disdain

But amongst them one holds on to cheer

Turn the page and hold to hope my dear

In this place and in this frame

I will stay, changed, and home will never be the same

yeah yeah, hey hey

Dave, totally agree.  It's my favorite page I have by Eisner.  It is perfect for depicting the scene.  Will Eisner knew what he was doing =|:^)

Hart, I love the imagery on this page as well!  Has a ppwer about it.  I actually have all but a handful of pages from this entire issue.

Verse 2

I would do anything for such a thing as my mothers love 

I run through the fires of hell or destroy the heaven above

You read my tale, my legend and hear my songs

Do not miss the core at the heart of it all

My tales of woe, tragedy and wrong

It's why I am DOOM and put the mask on

Whatever it takes I shall fix the world and its mistakes

By force and by power will be the way I remake

I started with my mothers love and now alone in cold shells

Ive been narled, snapped and injured to my death knell

For this reality must be remade or destroyed

How dare the love of my mother be stolen and devoid

Verse 2

I take their coin given for beautiful things

It's for my child and the hope he brings

Him I will love and protect no matter the depths

Through all life lived, dreams and death

Heaven or Hell made no difference to me

As long as my boy was alive, safe and hopefully happy

Now you purchase the images depicting my glee

Knowing the coming curse of the family line of DOOM

A cruel fate that my moment of cursed joy is collected as a page in your room

I will say, going through 130 pages of well done art done in a Japanese woodblock/calligraphy style really hammers in how much work each manga was for the artists.  Every time I end up digging into one of these branches of the comic medium internationally it reminds me of the depth of history and individuals who used their talents to these mediums.  

Thanos, Death, Marvel, moonknight, dr. doom oh my.....That last panel is simply awesome...a wonderful moment between father and daughter :)

The Celestials k8nda look like they came by to peek in on the party they weren't invited to.

I was thinking of trying Comic Clink.  

Yeah, those specials have classy look and feel.  I searched online and couldn't find a single acknowledgment of the Starwatcher Moebius reference, which isn't that surprising, but it's a neat little Easter egg.  I haven't run into many artist-to-artist Easter Eggs in original art pages.  This one too once you notice it is quite brazen, I love it.

Yeah, totally agree Marcus, those later works of his tend to include the small tragedies of a single or family/group/community life.  The tragedies of a world within the world at the "on the street" level.  He witnessed it and wanted to tell their individual tales.  I believe that's why they have the impact/weight that they do.

Ha, I don't think I have the production chops to pull this one off.  Next up will be a three page reading from two different series, that like this page connect to each other in story/lore.

Also got a page of Jae Lee's pencil page from Dark Tower and the pencils are so delicate that my scanner can't pick them up.  It's really impressive work to see in hand.
