I think this page is a good example of Gil Kane's talent for composition. If you've ever tried to coordinate the movement of dozens of characters in one drawing you'll probably appreciate what he did with the layout in that bottom panel.

Hellboy cover: thumbnail sketch to inks
For me, the challenge on this cover was coming up with an interesting image that didn't spoil any of the surprises in the story. I'll try to post some images from the interior pages later.

Hellboy
The cat's out of the bag so I might as well link to the news story. It goes on sale in April. Script by Mike Mignola, pencils, inks, lettering and colors by yours truly. A terrific, weird, sad and funny 24 page Hellboy story plus this cover. Yippee!

Monsters in the Closet: page three
These pencils are incomplete. After inking the lettering, I inked the portions of the art that looked okay, then finished up the background, pencilling and inking in more or less one step. It would have been better to finish all the pencils at once but I often resort to this tentative, wishy washy approach to keep things moving and avoid getting hung up on the details that I'm not sure about.
