when the world was a simpler place...

1ST SUPER-HERO OF ANCIENT EGYPT~!
PRINCE GAMELL
Prince Gamell was the re-animated
corpse of an Egyptian, Heir to the
throne of an Early Kingdom.
I was very bummed a few years later
to discover DC comic's DEADMAN,
both the Carmine Infantino &
Neal Adams versions.
(SIGH) Nothing new
under the Sun...

THE CHALLENGER~ ADOLESCENT SUPER-HERO~!
I liked characters like Daredevil & Batman
because they did NOT have super powers,
but, relied on their smarts & rigorous
physical training. It was in this spirit
that I created The Challenger, a loser
ex-boxer who recommitted himself
to strengthening himself and vowed
to never lose another fight, ever
again ! Here, we see him using
his staff to thwart thugs in
a getaway car chase !

HA HA HAH ! FOUND ME A LOOP-HOLE !
Until I can buy 5 more bucks worth
of google storage space, the entire
20 gigs worth you can bet I will fill
in a 365 Day Calendar Year, my
temporary solution will be
linked images like:
BOO. HISS.
The remaining 16 gigabytes of
storage space I purchased back
in December 2009 disappeared
and now Google wants 5 more
bucks out of me. I am disappointed
because they did not make it clear
that the un-used portion of my 20-
gig purchase would vanish if I did
not renew. It led me to believe that,
once you have purchased 20 gigs,
it is yours forever. Now, to find out,
that shame on me for not using it up
in a one-year time period, and, with-
out a credit card to buy back the
remaining 16 gigs, I guess I am
forced into taking leave for
a while...
Oh, well. More time to focus
on writing, I guess ;~j
ps: I used a gift-card when I made
my initial purchase, and now they
are no longer accepted !

THE OLDEST ALIEN DRAWING I HAVE FOUND !
I drew this on a Saturday afternoon.
I distinctly remember this because
I had just finished watching a Matinee
movie on TV, which was actually a docu-
drama about the classic Betty & Barney
Hill case entitled 'The UFO Incident'
I think. James Earl Jones played
Barney. I was really intrigued
by these Aliens, which, unlike
other movies, seemed very,
very real to me...
Circa 1981/82 ?

TWO UFO/ALIEN ONE PAGE STORIES~!
Now I know my memory is slipping...
In a recent post (end of November)
I told about the night that Erik Victor
McCrea & I created our most beloved
character, Matt Crenshaw. My dis-
rememory thought that we also
drew one-page stories that
night featuring Aliens &
COWS ! Ha ha ! Turns
out, it was Aliens &
flies ! For more
backstory,
follow:
I rediscovered these one-page gems
on a recent visit to the Folk's house.
As I recall, Erik & I discussed a
general idea/theme, and then
simultaneously went to work
penciling separate storyboards,
then compared how each of us
went about 'directing' the scene.
ERIK VICTOR McCREA'S
Fun stuff ! Plus, we did that
Pin-Up of Matt Crenshaw !
Do productive slumber
parties still occur ?
Ah, the innocence
of youth...

explains a few things...

A LOST DOODLE~!
This is one of the strangest doodles
I ever diddled... 1st off, it is oversize,
on 11 x 14 paper. 2nd, it has a gray
wash for the shadowing. I have
ZERO recollection of creating
this. Must've been stoned !

COLLABORATION WITH MY TEENAGE SELF !
I penciled this in 1983, when I was
15 years old, and, thanx to the passage
of time, a lost pile of artwork re-discovered,
and a new toy (technology) in the hands of
a 42 year old, I have managed to collaborate
with myself ! No jokes from you sick viewers
out there, I know what you are thinking...
1st, the pencils from 1983:
