Marvel comics enthusiasts will get this.
Back in 1999, I was lucky enough to be picked to draw the second series of New Warriors.
I did this while still working my full time job as a Fire Fighter so, I was pulling work weeks that averaged between 90 to 100 hours per week. I was able pull off doing this with a more exaggerated, fun, cartoon like style. It’s faster and more efficient. Still, a LOT of hours at the board.
Anyway, this issue of the series marked a very special moment for me. As a long time fan of Marvel Comics, I was now in that special group that got to create a corner box for a series. This is something that’s just not done anymore at Marvel but, man…I really miss it.This series was written by the super talented Jay Faerber and I was fortunate to be able to pick the equally talented Walden Wong as my ink artist. So, I believe this was his first corner box as well.The art on this is long gone but I believe I will be doing a recreation of the box (Speedball) with Marvel comics logo and all once I’m done with work next week.
