"March of Death!" 2/4

We finally get to figure out what's going on in this issue, with some hinted back-story. Which is great. Not to mention the important fact that I got to draw zombies. A zombie, I suppose (though he does break the "no talking" rule of zombies... though I suppose the fact that he's possessed accounts for that) . The Cap is also back from his hiatus -- off catching up with homework after his encounter with MechEng way back when -- along with Dr.Pine and Sulla. This strip only has 4 panels as well, alot less than the usual 6 or 7. It gives it more space for detail, giving me the chance to really lay on the ink. I think it turned out nicely. Like last week's re-use of Togo Salmon, the keen eye will detect that I used Captain Marauder's pose here for my poster design as well.

Fun Fact: Dr. Togo Salmon made his living researching the Italian Samnite people. Perhaps he read the wrong ancient scroll at some point... with dire consequences! But hey, I just draw this stuff.

"March of Death!" 1/4

Each has brought us closer to the reveal of the main villain: Zombie Togo Salmon! This week he's finally here. I stuck with pretty straightforward panel design. I do like some of the images (Divinus' cape is a favorite, based on Batman style cool), but overall I think the strip is kind of mediocre compared to others so far. I recycled the zombie image from one of the very first promotional ads in the paper at the start of the year, I just made it bigger and added more detail. Cheating? On the contrary. I think it's fun to add in specific images that have been used elsewhere. That's the point of an ad isn't it? To show what you're going to see. Anyway, something strange I didn't intend is Lady Maroon (on her cellphone, as usual) ended up looking like Megan Fox. Which is fine.
