Reject Archie

From 2004: despite my overtly cartoony style, I decided to send some sample pages to ARCHIE comics. It probably didn't help that I decided to poke some mild fun at some of the cliches in the Archie books at the time.

Archie and Jughead

The Crossover From Hell

 Unpublished piece. I meant to submit this to THE COMICS BUYER'S GUIDE many years ago, but never did. Still, I think it'd would've made for an interesting concept.

For Art's Sake: The Name Game

My latest FOR ART'S SAKE strip from THE COMICS BUYER'S GUIDE #1682;
I can understand many Superheroes from different companies having similar powers (Compare Mr. Fantastic to Plastic Man, Aquaman to Sub-Mariner, and how many Bulked-up brutes have we seen with colossal strength? But NAMES?? The original CAPTAIN MARVEL seen here has to call his books "SHAZAM" since Marvel Comics started their OWN Captain Marvel" (The kid with his head off is called "Captain Marvel," too..HIS SHTICK was that he was an android that could seperate his body parts when he yelled "SPLIT!") some time after Fawcett cancelled their series and was restarted by DC..But to let ARCHIE get away with their own DOCTOR DOOM? I guess adding the "MAD" makes all the difference...
Maybe I should have colored this, in case anyone doesn't get the joke about THE THING looking "like Archie Andrews' Toupee"...
