SpongeBob Comics #1 Cover Art

It’s finally here! Today is the release date for the very first issue of SpongeBob Comics! I’m very proud to say that I drew and painted the cover art for this baby!

Here is the original pencil version… Here’s the inked version below:
…and finally the fully-painted artwork below. Completely logo-free,
but still with the crop marks and bleed lines and all that jazz.

In the next few days I’m also gonna be posting the TON of rejected preliminary drawings from this project. There’s a lot of drawings that I really like a lot, but for one reason or another they were all passed over for the version you see above. So come back soon and check ‘em out!

And meanwhile,
I hope you’ll all go out to your
local comics shop and pick up a copy of

Easily the best comic book I’ve read in 10 years: “Daytripper” by Moon and Ba

Just finished reading Daytripper by Fabio Moon &Gabriel Ba. Easily the best comic I've read in ten years. Breathtaking.
Remember what it felt like reading the first ten issues of David Lapham's Stray Bullets? Remember the first time you read Dan Clowes' "Caricature" short story or Paul Pope's "Escapo?"

Remember what it was like before our favorite "alt-comics" artists slipped into a cocooned self-caricature and before everybody else stopped creating and just copied those guys? Fabio Moon and Gabriel Ba’s “Daytripper”reminds me of that great feeling. Of actually feeling something when you read a great comic. I drank it up, savored it, soaked in it and I don't want it to ever rub off. But I know it will. And that’s part of what this book’s about.

Lil Chief Hotshot – H. Chambers’ Comic Insanity Knows No Bounds

Recently I’ve been posting some of the weirdest comics of all time (see links below) …and they’re all from the fevered brush of the lunatic H. Chambers. AND they’re all from the same comic book: Hi Ho Comics #1 from 1946
This innocent-looking story is no exception to the weirdness. It looks sweet and innocent on the surface, but there’s some creepy absinthe-peyote delirium infused in every one of these panels!
Okay, seriously…isn’t page four (above) the single weirdest off-the wall comic page you’ve ever seen??? Yep, that’s it! It’s like…”I ran out of paper so I guess that’s the end!” Or, more likely, “I ran out of booze so I’m hitting the sack.”
