colleencoover:

Two years ago, former Marvel Comics bullpen member Steve Bunche posted a comics try-out page submitted to Marvel in the 1990s by an unknown hopeful. The page, while lacking in polish and technique, nevertheless had very clear storytelling, and, as Bunche notes in his blog post: “While this guy would never have gotten work in a professional comic as a penciller, I have to admire his talent for creating an instant classic of a non sequitor:”

artist unknown

You are not imagining this. Wolverine stalks through the wilderness, searching for we know not what, and finds the late Freddie Mercury, frontman of the band Queen.

The page has since been rattling around on the Internet, occasionally reposted and retweeted, chuckled over and admired by people like my studiomate Jeff Parker, which is how I originally became aware of it. And it just kind of got stuck in my head. For TWO YEARS.

The story as presented raises a number of questions. What is Wolverine looking for? Agents of AIM? Peace and solitude? Or, as my other studiomate Memorial artist Rich Ellis suggested: is he looking to find Somebody To Love?

And how and why does Freddie Mercury appear at the end of his search? Was his tragically fatal illness miraculously cured, perhaps by an alien symbiote? Has he just returned from sailing the Seven Seas of Rhye? Or more simply and perhaps most logically, has Logan found himself in the presence of the wordly manifestation of a literal God of Rock?

And so, I have decided to explore these mysteries by recreating the original story, correcting some of the technical blunders on the way. I invite other artists to do the same, by which exercise we may one day come close to the fictional Truth of the matter.

This is a panel from last night’s Diesel Sweeties in ibooks on an iPad 3, poorly macro shot with an iPhone 4.

It’s a bit gritty, but gives you a sense of how blocky pixels compare to actual pixels these days. It’s a screenshot from Photoshop with my menubar present for extra meta mindfuckedness.

I am fifty percent Polish and at least twenty-five percent Irish. Evolution has essentially built in me an atom smasher for potatoes.

For the students who thought I was nuts when I said that it’s okay to break your sleep up into chunks, as long as you have at least one chunk that’s 4 CONTINUOUS hours. (NB: That humans need an average of 8hrs of sleep in not the myth! The myth is that it absolutely has to be 8 in a row.)

“The only copy protection I need is the fact that tomorrow’s comic doesn’t exist yet and my brain’s the only place that bakes that cookie.”

It’s true. Also, I really like cookies.

I’d really appreciate your help in making ebook edition of my first 3,000 comics and keeping it DRM-free and payment optional. Check out my Kickstarter page even if you don’t want to contribute. I packed it full of jokes and thoughts on DRM and copyright.
