"I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity." #edgarallanpoe costume for our Halloween party, which I finished by eating a bowl of Count Chocula. Peak goth. https://www.instagram.com/p/CkVzNSCrVla/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Batman sketch that I turned into a Detective Comics "cover" by the great Neal Adams, who unfortunately passed away on my birthday. Neal was one of the kinds of artists who, through their exemplary work on a character, become one of the pillars that raise that character up. So much so that whenever you have a discussion about the most influential artists on a character you have to mention their name. This is me mentioning his name. Colors by me, line work by the sorely missed Neal Adams. R.I.P. https://www.instagram.com/p/CdHBwAdvLhe/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Yesterday's haul. A day full of nostalgia, and travel to comic shops, old stomping grounds, and a flea market with my wife, and daughter. #fcbd #comicbooks #bookstagram #reading #readingisfundamental https://www.instagram.com/p/CSmPhNorsBm/?utm_medium=tumblr

I am now the proud owner of not one, but two production cels from the Beetlejuice cartoon, and one of them has the key frame drawing with it. #beetlejuice #animation https://www.instagram.com/p/CRS2YHkD7xp/?utm_medium=tumblr

Rose from those Street Fighter vidja games. Rose may be a medium, but I have a large love for her. (Thank you, thank you, I'll show myself out.)

Finally managed to track down the two issues I was missing, and as an added bonus, the variant cover for issue 1 of John Byrne's Man of Steel miniseries. #thriftstorefinds #dccomics #superman #comics #comicbooks #1986 https://www.instagram.com/p/CMNH_Qih_q0/?igshid=13fuud4kl3ory

"Now that he had disabled the engine, the aberrant clone couldn't hijack the ship. It was then just a matter of finding it, and finally the monumental task of discovering who had programmed it with knowledge of the ship's inner workings. Who gave it homicidal tendencies, and why." #scifi #sciencefiction #clones #lookoutbehindyou https://www.instagram.com/p/CHvt_9YhoKW/?igshid=5bwxdgnarv1r

Trevor Fitzroy hair for Halloween. In the blacklight room. Did your party have a blacklight room?! Or were we the only ones who were that cool? https://www.instagram.com/p/CHF1R7-BJPe/?igshid=7rwn9t4rusl4

Knowing how to draw, and paint will not necessarily translate into knowing how to make icing letters on a cake. Happy birthday, Zelda. #notacakeboss #morelikecakemidlevelsupervisor #cakeshiftlead https://www.instagram.com/p/CDEkFI2jph7/?igshid=oyptn7r8xvfw

Dennis O'Neil's career spanned a huge swath of time. He was writing in the 70s, 80s, 90s, and on into the 2Ks. He penned hundreds of books, and made even more friends, and fans. He stuck around so long because of the quality of his work, and by all accounts the quality of his character was just as esteemed. R.I.P., you absolute legend. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go read some comics. https://www.instagram.com/p/CBa4arKDvTM/?igshid=mke7q0xk8w1u
