I’m sharing high res scans of recently sold original art from my archive, including pages from a Star Trek Animated Series comic pitch to Marvel from 1995, an inked page from Malibu Comics Prototype from 1994 and undeveloped pitch for a sci-fi mini-series, ‘Cydonia’ from 1995 or 1996. That project lasted about 12 pages and here’s a few survivors from that effort.

Not to be outdone by old stuff, I’m also posting works-in-progress on new projects High Strangeness Redux and Saga of a Doomed Universe II.

Sharing a couple of recent quick thank you sketches. I include these with every eBay order, whether it’s for an original comic art page or commissioned art. It’s fun.

I’m also posting a double-pager I recently sold. This is from a Star Trek portfolio I had penciled and inked as part of a pitch to Marvel back in 1995 or 1996. Marvel had the license for Trek during those years and I was one of the inkers on Star Trek: DS9 at Malibu Comics, so I thought it was worth pursuing. It wasn’t. Marvel was going through bankruptcy and the editors I knew there were being laid off in waves. Their Star Trek comics were sporadic and short-lived for that same reason. Not a great time for comic book artists, but I’m still glad I produced these pages. As a Star Trek fan, this was a labor of love.

Another two pages penciled this week. I’m intentionally steering my style away from early 80’s era and firmly into Frank Miller’s Dark Knight Returns aesthetic. I have no idea if this gradual change will be noticeable to readers or not, but it does fit the evolving narrative of the story. Like the first series, this sequel is an experiment. There’s not much point in making comics if I can’t take some creative risks and try new things. Fingers crossed this will resonate in some way for fans of the first series, as well as intriguing enough for new readers to pick up.

I’m still aiming for a 2026 release date for the series, and I’m more or less on schedule. In the meantime, I’ve listed my inventory of books at my eBay shop.

Not much to show this week for High Strangeness, but I plan to get another page or two re-inked in the next few days.
