Hicksville page 163:

Leonard walking to the Hogan’s Alley Day party, dressed as Captain Tomorrow. Highlights include: some clumsy drawing, lots of stars in the night sky (each one drawn with white-out and then touched up with ink), more white-out in panels 2 and 3 (where the drawing was even clumsier than usual), a general air of mystery.

Another page at half price, while I work at getting my online shop set up.

This one’s the original art for Hicksville page 115.

Sam is at Dick Burger’s birthday party, feeling awkward and out of place. I’m quite fond of this page. Some highlights include:

  • Cincinnati Walker’s first appearance (Cincinnati is one of my favourite characters. I’ve planned a whole story about her & Sam set a few years after Hicksville, which I hope to draw one day).
  • Stan Lee cameo in panel 1.
  • You can see where I fixed up a spelling mistake in Cincinnati’s name. Also where I had second thoughts and whited out a tattoo on her right shoulder.
  • OK, so if you want this page, hit the Paypal link below: (Sorry – someone bought it already)

    OK, so yesterday’s art sale went so fast it left a few people disappointed. So here’s another page at the same price.

    This is the original art for Hicksville, page 59. Marker pen on ivory board (430mm x 297mm, 16.9 x 11.7 inches).

    Leonard Batts interviewing Dick Burger in Los Angeles. Includes some memorably ironic dialogue: “I guess there isn’t much of a comics scene in Hicksville” and “Just forget about Hicksville, okay? There is nothing interesting about Hicksville. We’re not going to talk about it.”

    My favourite thing about this page is the black border. If you look closely, you can see decorative patterns drawn behind (or within) the black. That’s because the black border was inked by my adorable wife Terry, and when she got bored she would start drawing patterns and flowers and Pacific motifs before covering it all with solid black. None of that is visible in the printed book, of course, but it’s clearly there in the originals.
