GUY DAVIS AND THE GOOMBAH OF DOOM
Earlier this year at Heroes Con Charlotte, I was able to meet the soft-spoken and completely neat artist of the vast majority of B.P.R.D. comics, Guy Davis. And, I might add, his charming wife Rosemary (whom I'll post a little bit about later).
Anyway, my friend, Jeff, and I were there after having just met Mike Mignola and we notice Guy Davis is right there beside where Mike was set up. An obvious pairing, no doubt. But he was doing little free sketches for the masses and we went up a begging. Jeff got the best pulp hero created after 1990--Lobster Johnson. And I wanted to get something different from Thor (who I always ask for) so I said, draw what thou wilt! And this is what he drew:

I call him the Goombah of Doom because I can't say for sure if he's a character from ZOMBIES THAT ATE THE WORLD, which I have yet to get around to reading. I can swear that my great grandfather was pictured in a suit and hat just like this one! Scary, ain't it?

HELLBOY MEETS KOLCHAK THE NIGHTSTALKER!
At Heroes Con in Charlotte this year, my pal Jeff picked up a sketchbook to get some of the many good folks in "Artist Alley" to doodle speedy drawings in to remember them by (or was it sell on eBay for profit?). So it was suggested to him by a fellow friend (Tilley?) or maybe he thought it up himself? I draw a blank. Anyway, I came to draw this in his notebook in my spare time this week:

It was great fun to work on and a great idea for a crossover. Similar to my wet dream of having a Hellboy and Captain America team-up.
