1950s Jack Cole Coloring Experiment

 I took a 1950s sketch from the famous pin-up artist Jack Cole to use as a learning experiment with my expanded doodling using both Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer.  I think things turned out pretty decent,

Martian Manhunter Fears the Flame!

The Martian Manhunter (J'onn J'onzz) fears the flame... panel extracted from Action Comics Presents: Doomsday Special #1 (© DC Comics 2023) whose original artwork was produced by Eddy Barrows, Eber Ferreira & Adriano Lucas.   I pulled the panel out removed text panels and added some fire to give J'onn J'onzz something to really be afraid of.

Superman versus a giant gorilla

Superman swirls around the giant gorilla (Titano?) building up momentum, and then winds-ups for a super-powered punch.  No fancy title for today's dabbling, simply "Superman versus Giant Gorilla."  I scanned a page from DC's Legion of Bloom (2023) with original artwork by Dave Sharpe that featured Captain Carrot and replaced him with an image of Superman instead.  

Uber Eats delivered at the speed of light.

I've taken an original Bob McLeod black & white sketch that Heman86 colored and then added my own alterations.  The Flash (Barry Allen) is now the world's fastest Uber Eats delivery person!

Batman Beyond Shows Off Some Magical Powers

Batman (Terry McGinnis) says "Of course, magic is real.  Of course, it is.  Obviously..." panel extracted from Batman Beyond: Neo-Gothic issue #2 (© DC Comics 2023) whose original artwork was produced by Max Dunbar & Sebastian Cheng.   I twisted the original context of this artwork and granted Batman real magic powers via my own image edits and adjustments.

Catwoman shown in an action sequence dropping from a rooftop onto three street thugs.

I dissected a page from DC Comics Catwoman #25 (released November 2020) whose original artwork was created by Juan Fereyra with coloring by FCO Plascencia and then recomposed the action sequence into my own version inside a Kodak filmstrip.

Bat-Mobile Shows Off the New Nitro-flame Mode

The Bat-Mobile kicks in nitro-flame mode... panel extracted from Batman issue #137 (© DC Comics 2023) whose original artwork was produced by Jorge Jiménez & Tomeu Morey.   I pulled the panel out removed text panels and tried to give it an enhanced view.

Even the Joker cries aka Every clown has a sad day.

I scanned a page from Batman: The Brave and the Bold #1 whose original artwork was created by Mitch Gerads and then did some sleight of hand removing an extra character, tweaking things a bit, and adding some text to make an even sadder-looking clown.  Nothing is lonelier than a wet clown sitting by himself on a park bench pathetically holding onto his last party balloon.

Every clown has a bad day...

Batman versus Cocaine Bear?!

 Batman versus Cocaine Bear?! --- 'nuff said!   A few artwork panels were taken from various parts of the Batman: Urban Legends #16 (2022) comic book from DC Comics.   The artwork is by Karl Mostert with coloring by Trish Mulvihill.

ONE of you women is lying to me....

At 630am my wife returned to bed after taking the dogs outside for their morning business.

I asked is it still raining outside, it was at 3am?  She said no.

ALEXA! What's the weather forecast for today?   It's raining outside right NOW, it should stop at 9am.
