Seattle here I c-c-c-come!

I hope somebody remembered to turn on the heater 'cause I'm headed to Seattle this week for the Emerald City Comic Con. I will be at the KABOOM (formerly BOOM Kids) booth #402. I will be taking your requests all weekend doing DW sketch covers. Or if ducks in capes ain't your thing (...and if that's the case, I'm not really sure why you're here of all places) Shelli Paroline and Travis Hill will be doodling on The Muppet Show and Pixar Cars sketch covers.

Of course I hope you all picked up this week's release of Darkwing Duck Annual #1 By Tad Stones, Ian Brill, Sabrina Alberghetti, Andrew Dalhouse, Lisa Moore, Amy Mebberson and some other schlub. The above is the "C" incentive cover laid out by Tad and finished by Lisa and myself, available at your local shop if they ordered lots of copies.

When BOOM first approached Tad about doing a cover he knew he wanted to try something a little different. What we have here is his initial sketch for a "What's-Wrong-With-This-Cover?"

Not that I could ever improve on what Mr. Stones does, but we tweaked the layout a bit and added a background. I loved incorporating my style with Tad's original vision of the characters.

And from there I finished up with the inks and sent it off to Lisa to make it look all pretty. Look on Tad's blog in the coming weeks for a complete list of all the "mistakes"

Lastly these are the inks and colors (by Amy) for the cover to #12, the last chapter of "F.O.W.L. Disposition", coming to you in May. I'll be back next week with my ECCC wrap up and details on my first artist alley table at C2E2.
