I definitely need to draw some more wimmin, so I'll see what I can do). Marshall Law... Christ, I remember my Dad finding my issues of Strip Magazine (what were they thinking?!) which reprinted this stuff and he - being of more or less solid Catholic stock - going absolutely spare. Yipe.<BR/><BR/>Bloody hell though, poor Gene Colan. He's one of those creators that I'm a fan of without quite realising it, if you see what I mean: I'd have read reprints of his Dracula or Daredevil or Iron Man when I was a kid/teenager and loved it, without realising who was drawing all this mad, elliptical stuff. Anyway - Howard the Duck. Another one for the list.Dan McDaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02632918989008324574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20726952.post-53930595090819681152008-05-18T20:08:00.000+00:002008-05-18T20:08:00.000+00:00Feckin' love that THE SHADOW!

Loved that as a teen myself, and as I never miss a chance to tell anyone who hasn't read 'em, it pretty much invented the entire Mark Millar/Warren Ellis cynical superhero style.<BR/><BR/>And if you're going to draw any of Warwick's characters, try and make it the Swedish superheroine Elka, leggy nemesis of the trollish hordes.<BR/><BR/>And I was going to suggest, howzabout a Dracula or a Howard The Duck, in solidarity with Gene Colan (get well soon)?Mark Kardwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17791352096505994671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20726952.post-61150299518363146042008-05-18T15:02:00.000+00:002008-05-18T15:02:00.000+00:00Hi Warwick.

I think, though, that's one piece of knowledge that he might come up short on. That said, you did draw the guy, and he's mentioned some whedon shows here and there . . . and I did sign one post with David M(which could have been for McDonald....)<BR/><BR/>You know, I think I should apologize for unwittingly setting up a pro-Tennant scenario. Heh. Sorry about that.<BR/><BR/>But much thanks for the link. Though I certainly like the ring of what you wrote, I'd feel like a hog if I didn't throw half of that light on Robert.<BR/><BR/>looking forward to more kick-ass art,<BR/><BR/>-D.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20726952.post-48902760061227995522008-05-17T11:15:00.000+00:002008-05-17T11:15:00.000+00:00Hey David - a thousand apologies but I just twigge...Hey David - a thousand apologies but I just twigged who you are and why you're of the "Vendable" persuasion! What can I say - I've had a lot on my mind (I even briefly entertained the idea that you were David Tennant, ha ha). Anyway, ta for the suggestions and I'll see what I can do (it's been ages since I've drawn Spidey, and I've never drawn those other dudes you mention). I'll also link up to yer comic.<BR/><BR/>Wilfredo - thanks a lot.
