Dark Horse has released a color preview [link] of MAGNUS ROBOT FIGHTER #1 so I've posted the black and whites of those pages. I'll put up more after the book is released.

SDCC 2010 No Go
For the first time in six years I won't be attending the San Diego Comic-Con. I had to cancel once I knew my schedule wouldn't allow it. Going to SDCC is essentially taking a week off.
Next year :-). Everyone else have fun!

Here's a short bio of my adventures in comic art-

I'm a 1982 graduate of the American Academy of Art in downtown Chicago. I have been a professional Comic Book Artist for 27 years. Working for comic book companies such as, First Comics, Marvel Comics, and DC comics. Drawing characters The Badger, The Punisher, Silver Surfer, Batman, and more.
The bulk of my comic work doing pencils was with the great writer Mike Baron. In 1993 we co-created a series called SPYKE that was originally published by Epic/Marvel.
In recent years I've done several pieces of art for the Upper Deck trading card game Marvel Vs. and a lot of sketch cards.


 As a comic book inker, I've worked with other artists on Marvel Comics books such as the Earth X trilogy, The Punisher, The Amazing Spider-Man, Daredevil, and The Hulk.
At DC Comics I've inked books with characters Batman, Green Arrow, Fate, etc.

Artists I've been fortunate to ink include- Jon Bogdanove, Steve Ditko, George Freeman, Ron Garney, Keith Giffen, Adam Kubert, John Paul Leon, Ron Lim, Lan Medina, Steve Rude, Ryan Sook, Jill Thompson, Ron Wagner, Ryan Sook, and many more.

could you tell me about your experiences about the american academy of art? i plan on going there in the fall but i keep seeing terrible ratings for the school. were things different back in the 80s for the school then they are now?
:iconbillreinhold:
Yes I had a great experience at the Academy, but before I say more can you point me toward any of those "terrible ratings "? Then I'll have something to compare to.
