From the Archive: Malibu Comics!
My ‘big break’ in comics happened in 1993 when Malibu Comics hired me to join their art dept in Southern California. While there, I inked a tremendous amount of comics and learned from industry veterans Jerry Bingham (DC’s Son of the Demon and various Marvel/DC titles), George Perez (DC’s Crisis on Infinite Earths & an endless number of titles) and Barry Windsor Smith (Marvel’s Conan the Barbarian & many other titles). These and other creators were in and out of the Malibu offices on a regular basis and I did my best to soak up as much knowledge as I could. It was definitely a crash course in how to create comics.
I’m sharing my first published cover art at Malibu, Exiles #3, pencilled by Rob Phipps and inked by me. I’ve saved many of the pencil and ink scans from this period and after all these years, I’m starting the process of posting them online, exclusively on my Patreon page.
The second piece is my unpublished drawing of the character ‘Prime’ from 1994. It’s colored by one of the industry’s best colorists, Moose Baumann (DC, Valiant). Moose is a friend and colleague who was always willing to color my little side projects.
