I love the Legion of Super-Heroes so I made some fan art of the Ranzz siblings; Lightning Lord (Mekt Ranzz), Lightning Lad (Garth Ranzz), and Light Lass (Ayla Ranzz). Probably one of the craziest familial conflicts in the DC Comics Universe.

Obviously this is impossible because Alan Moore looks like he's genetically a wizard, it's simply impossible to imagine what he would look like as a schoolboy oh there he is.
Spot Alan Moore in his 6th form Northampton Grammar School photo, taken two days before he was expelled

44 - True Lies!
Four more pages in our new color format. Be sure to check us out at expatnerd.com where we post one new page a week.
This is definitely riffing on those classic British comics where each part was told in two pages. I hope you enjoy.

Happy Birthday OG IK! I hope you and that lady are happy in the invisible realm.

I’ve been buying Omniboos quite a lot recently and there’s a huge stack/pile/columns of the unread ones that it is now out of control. It’s time to rectify that. First up is Hellblazer by Jamie Delano Volume One. I love Delano’s John Constantine. It’s one of the few horror comics that shock me.

The Legion of Super-Heroes and Quiver
I've missed a couple of weeks mainly because I've been 'full steam ahead' on the new version of my webcomic Solicitations. It's now in full color, which requires quite a bit more work.

Continuing the Tales From The Sketchbook is the Legion of Super-Heroes! This is my favorite team of all time in comics and not necessarily the ones depicted below. But I do love all of them. I'm still working on my coloring and need to put more into my backgrounds. Still a work in progress!

Currently reading the comic that started it all! The first appearance of perhaps the greatest super-hero team ever conceived…The Legion of Substitute Heroes! Polar Lad! Night Girl! Stone Boy! And The Chlorophyll Kid! And it’s a darn good yarn. Adventure Comics 306. A new prized possession.

Trying to do more coloring and decided to draw a montage piece of Karate Kid and Princess Projectra from the Legion of Super-Heroes. Both characters were created by the late and great Jim Shooter, when he was only 14 years old, and Curt Swan.

Currently reading: The Tomb of Dracula Omnibus Volume 01 and just in time for Halloween too! This is such a great collection and thank goodness for it too because the individual issues are pricey. Gene Colon is my favorite artists of all time and this makes it extra special.
