It was just a tiny little picture, but I do recall the artwork being fairly impressive.<br /><br />I used to draw comics as a youngster - figure it might be time to quit when I co-created the mighty Lightning Man, and signed it "Gil Kane"...making sure that every second panel was a close-up shot up someone's nose.<br /><br /><br />cheers<br />B SmithAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-24751068311742560202010-12-16T07:00:27.528+00:002010-12-16T07:00:27.528+00:00LOL!

After reading the Sise-Neg/Genesis story in Doctor Strange my mind was equally warped, and I've been reading words "sdrawkcab" ever since!<br /><br />"pihsrats" is one of my faves, too! Oh, and I also like "krap rac"! :-)Simon B https://www.blogger.com/profile/07719757386457800087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-73356697964712728282010-12-15T23:49:34.898+00:002010-12-15T23:49:34.898+00:00I definitely want to see them, cerebus.

I should have gone for something simpler but the Kree/Skrull War had warped my mind.<br /><br />My other mistake was, whenever I wanted to name something, I just got the name of whatever it was and wrote it backwards, so I'd get an alien race called the Sllurks flying around in a star-ship called The Pihs-Rats. I bet Marvel are kicking themselves for rejecting me.Stevehttp://stevedoescomics.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-46388218422069793862010-12-15T23:32:57.053+00:002010-12-15T23:32:57.053+00:00My entry in the "Marvel Artist Competition&qu...My entry in the "Marvel Artist Competition" was the mighty Cobalt Man*. <br />(Obviously no relation to the existing Marvel character, also known as Cobalt Man *cough!*)According to my description, he "wears a special cobalt suit, has super-strength, a brilliant mind and can fly at 50 mph!" That's pretty fast, I can tell you! He also seemed to wear some kind of welding-goggles/bucket combo on his head.<br /><br />*Well, I say "entry" but I didn't actually send it off. Maybe the world wasn't yet ready for the majesty of Cobalt Man :-)<br /><br />I used to write and draw a lot of comics when I was a kid, all "inspired" by various Marvel characters like the X-Men, Star-Lord, Doctor Strange etc. etc. Very few of these masterpieces got much beyond the cover and the first 2 or 3 pages. I might have to post some of them at The Glass Walking-Stick some time. You have been warned.....Simon B https://www.blogger.com/profile/07719757386457800087noreply@blogger.com
