The Savage Dragon






As you all know by now, Savage Dragon #171 came out today, with a big jam story written by Joe Keatinge,  illustrated by Erik Larsen, Simon Fraser, Mike Cavallaro, Joe Infurnari, Dean Haspiel, Tim Hamilton and myself, and cobbled together by Mr Michel Fiffe. For my portion of the story, I didn't get to draw the familiar version of Mr Dragon doing much but have a conversation with a dead lady (read the story!), but I did get to draw a medieval Savage Dragon in shining armor fighting a fire-breathing Savage Dragon dragon (again,  read the story!). To amend that I did a quickie marker drawing of MR SD, with an even quicker coloring job. It was a lot of fun to get to play, albeit briefly, in Mr Larson's sadnbox, and quite a thrill to see him draw some characters designed by myself and Dean Haspiel (read the story already!)

Will Eisner





If Jack Kirby is the James Cagney of comics, Will Eisner is the James Stewart.

J.M.DeMatteis Day

"Moonshadow" by J.M.DeMatteis and Jon J. Muth was one of those comics that showed me what the form was capable of, and in turn made we want to do comics myself.
Many years later, I had been doing just that for a living, but it was a tough road and I was reaching a point where it seemed wiser to give up.
Right about then, I got an email from DeMatteis himself. He'd read my self-published work, and was writing to say how much he had enjoyed it.
Those few words made all the difference for me, and were just what I needed to keep going. That included the opportunity to develop "The Life And Times Of Savior 28" with J.M.D. himself, which we published last year through IDW Publishing.

Thanks, J.M., for many years of inspiration, and here's to many more!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKE!!

Happy Belated Birthday, Mike...

Loviathan: King Llyr

Happy Birthday Mike Cavallaro!


King Llyr always makes sure that his fingernails and toenails match. It's just one of the many touches that make Llyr one of the most popular boys in all of Atlantis.

Mike! Happy 85th! Once they take out your cataracts, you might be able to see this drawing!

Loviathan! King Llyr by Dean Haspiel

As you all know, today is Fellow Drawbridger Mike Cavallaro's 61st birthday, and to celebrate we're all drawing characters from his so-good-it-hurts-dear-lord-why-won't-the-pain-stop webcomic Loviathan viewable at the Act-i-Vate website. That being the case, I thought I would share with you our studiomate Dean Haspiel's rendition of King Llyr that he drew last year when Cav turned 49.


I should mention that Cav has a serious thing for blond superheroes, hence the presence of Aquaman and Thor.

Speaking or presence, Dean had the presence of mind to make a scan of this year's birthday card for Sr. Cavallaro. A whole bunch of contributed, including Nathan Schreiber, Simon Fraser, Becky Cloonan, Joe Infurnari, James Smith, Dean Haspiel and your truly. Click here to check it out.

LOVIATHAN - Shouty Frog Mouth Thing!


I think this is a Fire Troll. It's an awesome character design whatever it's called. Happy birthday Maestro!

Loviathan! Queen Aine by Mike Fiffe

Happy 56th Birthday Mike Cavallaro!



To celebrate the birthday of beloved and cuddly Drawbridger Mike Cavallaro today the topic is his very own amazing webcomic "Loviathan". No sooner did I send out the email announcing it then we got our first drawing, of Queen Aine, as drawn by the amazing Michel Fiffe. Mr. Fiffe has been having some problems with Blogger that are making it hard for him to post, so I'm doing the honors. Enjoy!
