G Spotting

 

These two licensed properties overlapped at Marvel for a few months, but it was a missed opportunity not to have them cross over with each other. Maybe if Marvel had held onto the Godzilla license for a while longer, we would have gotten it. Or maybe not, if Toho or Mattel had any objections.

Men in Black

 I think most people like the yellow and black outfit for the Black Hood, but for me personally I like this design better. And I just realized while drawing this that his mask must have taken inspiration from Diabolik. On the other hand, I prefer the Fox with his yellow emblem on his chest. The all-black outfit that Red Circle used in the 1980s looked too plain.

Action Figures

 

This one’s an homage to the cover of DC’s Captain Action no. 3, but with Lady Action instead of Action Boy. Lady Action was introduced in the revived series from Moonstone Books, and I’ve drawn quite a nunber of her adventures for them. I don’t think she’s turned up anywhere else. Here’s hoping that the Captain Action family returns someday.

Elders of the Lost Ark

It would have been nice to see Ke Huy Quan reprise his role in the the last Indiana Jones film, given his resurgence in popularity around the same time as that film’s release. But, yeah, I don’t think the Indy producers were prescient enough to know that he’d be relevant again with the surprise hit Everything Everywhere All At Once.
