Cover From The Black Lagoon

THE SKETCH Every cover starts with a doodle. I wanted my The Creature From The Black Lagoon cover to be more about mood than humor or action. I wanted a sense of movement, but it to lean more creepy than kinetic. I remembered a commission I painted back in 2007 and thought it would be nice to revisit and tweak it a bit.

Big Marvel Anniversary!

CELEBRATING 10ish YEARS Marvel hit me up last year and said they wanted to do something for the 10th Anniversary of my Young Marvel Covers. I said that would be awesome and we should totally celebrate 10 years…on the 12th year! That’s right, it’s been 12 years already since that Midtown Comics AvX exclusive wraparound I did. It’s hard to believe.

FERAL.

It’s Megan here to drop the details of our next exclusive, FERAL! I think you’re gonna need a bigger short box. Yea, I’ve been waiting about a month to say that lol.
