It’s going to be May 20th… Issue #3, that is

Posted on 04.16.09 under Uncategorized

Diamond has sent a pending cancellation notice to the Dabel Brothers for Issue #3 because we are so late. And we are. Issue #2 came out Dec 17, so it will be five months between issues. Embarrassing but what can I say? It just takes a loooonnnggg time to draw these images.

So we have got to finish production on the color tifs by this week and we’ll be out, May 20. Promise!
Below is page 1.

Proof of progress on issue #3

Posted on 04.01.09 under Uncategorized

I know that Issue #3 is late…
I won’t make any excuses, but I will present visual evidence that production is actually happening.

If you’re standing in front of the wall, you can flip back and forth in time and see the progression.

It’s actually like an archeological dig: drawings taped over drawings — layers of roughs, comped with dialog balloons, final pencils, and color. Color revisions still have to be made. Soon it will be complete and seamless.

The pencils are almost completed for Issue #3 and the color is starting to come in.  From Issue #3, Digikore, based in Mumbai, India will be handling the color.  The first two issues of DOG EATERS was mostly done by a couple of  Glasshousegraphics colorists based in Manila.  Guillermo is overseeing and directing all the color.

Superman #150 spread

Posted on 02.15.09 under Uncategorized

I always pick up at least one original piece of comic art at every Comicon I attend. This one is:
SUPERMAN #150 Nov 1999 $2.95 US/$4.50 CAN $3.95 US/$6.25 CAN “Earth’s Final Hour ” Writer: Dan Jurgens Penciller: Steve Epting Finisher: Joe Rubinstein

In this spread, pre-9/11, Superman saves Mt. Rushmore from a missile attack. Alas, he could not save the World Trade Center Towers…

This is the review of the issue by the Kryptonian Cybernet:
– If you’ve gotta go, go out on a high note, and in many people’s opinions
that’s just what Dan Jurgens did this month with his final Triangle Title
Superman story. Not only was it tied for first place this month, but it was
the best rating for this book (in my tenure as New Comics Editor) since his
much-lauded examination of Lex Luthor (“Checkmate!”, _Superman_ #131, 4.1
Shields), finishing only slightly behind the reintroduction of Cyborg as
Ashbury Armstrong’s teacher (“Within Human Reach”, _Superman_ #129, 3.8
Shields), and tied with “Machinations!” (_Superman_ #126), where Lex stole
back his kryptonite ring from Batman. While there were some mixed emotions
about the new Brainiac — much as there have always been about Mr. Jurgens
and his writing — most reviewers thought that this was a suitable coda to
Dan’s 10-year run. Whether you like or dislike his work, there’s no denying
that the man has left his own indelible mark on the Superman legacy.
