Ink Stains 20a: I will be back

me/Brent Anderson

What the hell is that Creeper doing?

Hello everyone.

I wanted to give everyone kind enough to follow this column a heads up. This week’s installment will be delayed another 7 days due to some events I have to handle here at home.

I have a couple of great ‘zines I’m going to choose from, including issues of Anomaly (Strnad, Corben, Kline), Reality (Kaluta and more), and others.

For now, just for the heck of it, I will show a few pieces of mine from fanzines you haven’t seen yet (for the most part), as well as a few wacky Christmas cards (I do one each year).

So, tune in again next week and we will get back on schedule with another great fanzine! 
​
EDIT: When reposting this on 1/12/2026, I added a few things. Above you see the very first thing I ever had published, aided and inked by my bud, Brent Anderson (appeared in a Baycon program book). Below you see a playmat (basically, a big mousepad) where I used a hand colored copy of the image at top, combined with a more recent portrait of Lee.

Above left you see a cover for a fun little sf fanzine that David Heath Jr pointed me too, while on the right is a trading card piece done for a set in the 90s featuring my character, Feral (sort of a combo of Wolverine and the Creeper).

This crazy thing was a submission for whatever company produced an incredibly funny comic called The Trouble With Girls, written by Gerard Jones.

Yes, that is Hillary Clinton. The gentleman to the right (Glen Williams), who had me do several other political shirts later on) asked me to do some art for shirts to help with her campaign for Prez a while back...that’s my art on the shirt. I am sure she is thinking, “What the hell is this sh@t?”

It was fun, as were the following projects, since caricature is not something I do on a regular basis. It is fun, but challenging...you can see the other designs in my Facebook pages. In the comic photo folders there you can see many more Feral images and pages.

This is one of several graphics I did to try to promote the Caliber series I worked on for awhile called Kilroy is Here. They didn’t help.

Above and below you can see several pieces done for the San Diego Comicon program book over the years.

Above you see a selection of pages done as a sample to try to get work at DC (it didn't work). They were fun, as I was caught up in the enjoyment of those Justice League issues by Keith Giffen, J. M. DeMatteis and Kevin Maguire. Such fun stories, facial expressions and characters!

One of my silly past Xmas cards.

In the 90s, I hooked up with that nut, Don Chin. In addition to the Adolescent Radioactive Black Belt Hamsters limited series, I did these silly ass covers for the lunatic!

Above, another tryout! This is Clive Barker's Weaveworld, done while in I was in the throes of one of my idols, Dave McKean. Lastly, below, you can see a plethora of portraits painted by the poopyhead that is me! These were done for the wonderful current (2026) comic magazine, Comic Book Creator. Check that sucker out!
