Artist's Comments

I caught SO much flack over this cover. My Diamond rep actually called me and said they couldn'y give the book 'full support' with this cover. So I had to have a second cover added for issue one by Al Rio (I'll post that one soon)

It was supposed to be a little 'tongue and cheek' because the Issue was a SUPER SIZE First issue (54 pages). But I got comments like "You are objectifying women!" and "Your just pandering to the lowest blah blah" and a straight up "You want an OPINION!!! THIS COVER *^#&ing SUCKS!!! I would NEVER buy a book with a cover like this!!!!" and a "People like you are the reason why women don't by comic books!"

However, interesting point to note... I own a comic shop and I (of course) have my book on the shelf. I have women walk up and buy it fairly often and when I ask why they chose it (without reveling its my book until after the purchase) they all respond with similar statements like "Its funny" or "I wish I had boobs like her!"

I noticed once I had shown some of my artworks (some sexy girls, no nudity) to some comic companies here where I am, and they said "we don't do erotic comics". you can always find people complaining about those sexy girls, boobs and butts. if they say it's not suited for kids, I can understand. but if the book is really not for kids, then there is no problems I guess.

anyway, Marvel and DC are famous mainly because of the sexy girls they have in their comics.

Man, this is a nice drawing with nice colors. I can't believe people get so angry for stuff like this. This cover isn't obscene or tasteless. I love it.

I am going to make sure to keep an eye on your gallery. Great stuff.

Opinionated people suck oftentimes. It's really kinda sad, but those are the ones with the loudest voice, so they are often the most heard. Not to say that I don't have my own opinions, but I don't generally make it a point to just toss them out like Halloween candy.

As far as the cover goes, I think it's pretty amusing, and it's drawn pretty well on top of that. Too bad that you can't always just do what you want when money is involved.

I like it. It was done tastefully. What comic was it done for?
