In 1994, I was admittedly a much better inker than I was a penciler. But I was trying, and exploring those 90’s comic art styles in an effort to find my way. As a staff inker at Malibu Comics, I knew I didn’t have the chops yet to pitch myself as a penciler to any of the editors there, so I quietly toiled away drawing stuff like this, after work hours at my apartment.
In hindsight and looking at some of those old Malibu Comics now, maybe I wasn’t giving myself enough credit back then. I probably didn’t have the confidence to show any of my penciled work to anyone, but I’m also glad I didn’t go for it. I needed a lot more practice and study and would today cringe if any of this had been published as my first penciled gig for a major publisher. Regardless, I thought it would fun to share these, since they’ve been in deep storage for years.
