Rough Sketch for the Strip in Comics Now #2

In anticipation of the release of issue #2 of Comics Now! magazine tomorrow, I'm posting a scan of the initial sketch I did for the strip. I actually did the sketch for issue #1, but the gag was changed just before publication. Being the economical (read lazy) guy I am, I used the gag for issue #2. The cartoon was originally done with the expectation of a standard three-panel strip. I fleshed it out for the full-page format. I'll post the finished strip tomorrow.

Presto Change-oh!

Well, I'm shelving the gag I had for issue #3. After finding out that most of the content for #3 will be themed towards the 70th anniversary of Superman, so I figured I may as well do the same. I hope to resurrect the existing gag for issue #4. It should still be funny then . . . heh.

Comics Now #1: The Sketches and References

I got my comp copies of Comics Now #1 in the mail this weekend. After skimming through the issue once more, I thought I'd post a photo of all the references that I used and the individual drawings that came together for the final strip. I spread most the items out on my drawing board/light box.
