Claws of the Cat, Lettered

I recently lettered this little number: The Claws of the Cat. It’s a two-part story slated for Walt Disney’s Comics and Stories #687 (pre-order your copy now!).

In a nutshell, Mickey Mouse has to deal with a Lara Croft -ish character named Katarina (pictured). She’s after a particular jade cat… but is she the only one?

This thing was fun to work on! Egmont’s take on Katarina’s outfits seemed a bit on the “garish” side, though, so I decided to spruce ‘em up a bit. :)

Wanna see my boss’ latest venture? This pop-culture museum (right beside Oriole Park at Camden Yards and across the light rail from the Baltimore Convention Center) has been attracting a lot of attention since it opened in September ’06, including this segment of Retirement Living’s The Daily Apple:

Free Comic Book Day 2007

secondmouse isn’t primarily a blog about my day job, but I’d be silly in the head if I didn’t tell y’all about this: each year comic book publishers in the USA get together with retailers to offer free books! Usually created especially for the event, these freebies are given away at comic book shops around the country on Free Comic Book Day.

This year, FCBD is on May 5th (yup, that’s this weekend) and if you go to ComicSpace you’ll find a five-page preview of this year’s book from Gemstone (six if you count the cover). A new page is being revealed every day from now until Friday.

So what are you waiting for? Check out the free preview, then head out to your local shop on Saturday to pick up the free book!

At least then you can say you know what I do for a living. ;)

Congratulations to Johnny Hart (B.C., The Wizard of Id), who saw his risen Savior this Easter. He was certainly one who strove to honor the Lord in his work (not merely in spite of it, as many of us do).

Mr. Hart inspired me in my childhood years, providing an example of what could be done by an artist who loved Jesus; showing us how to serve “in the world” while remaining a faithful witness. I hope that those who follow will live up to his legacy, and continue in it for future generations.
