WELCOME TO SUPERFOGEYS ORIGINS, JOHN JETT! John is one of those guys whose style just screams “classic.” He reminds me a lot of George Perez–and that’s a very good thing. His style is just absolutely perfect for the Jerry origin since, during the course of the next 12(!) weeks, we’re gonna be covering a lot of [...]
JERRY’S ORIGIN BEGINS…NOW! "Tom?" I hear you say. "Who the heck is Tom?" It’s been a while since we’ve seen him, but for those of you who need to get up to speed, let’s look back a little, shall we? Tom’s Origin Story When Tom Met Ms. Missile Tom in Chapter 7, Visiting Day The [...]
JOHN JETT TAKES THINGS TO ANOTHER LEVEL There’s the way I write it…and then there’s the way John draws the snot out of it! I’m always impressed by the the number of details and the unique take John has on all of the characters. Really inspiring stuff. See more of John’s work at his site! [...]
MAKING LIFE HARD FOR JOHN JETT The Jerry origin is ambitious in its scope, but even pages like this can pose quite a challenge for an artist. All those heads and expressions and a house on fire and a destroyed room and…man, there’s just a lot going on here. And John rises to the occasion [...]
THE ANNOTATED JERRY, PAGE 4 When Dr. Klein first appeared waaaaay back in Chapter 2, a lot of the readers at the time assumed he was evil. A couple of them even suggested that he must be evil because of his German name. I didn’t cop to anything either way at the time, but this [...]
THIS PAGE, COURTESY OF JOHN JETT This is another one of those treats you guys get because of the artist and not so much me. Originally, what you see on this page was going to be the last panel on the previous page. But John felt like it was a big moment and had an [...]
NEW CONTEST! BRING A NEW READER TO SUPERFOGEYS–WIN A JOHN JETT SKETCH CARD! Jerry origin artist John Jett has gone the extra mile and dreamed up a fun little competition for you all. He’s created two fantastic sketch cards and he wants YOU to have them! Check ‘em out: Here’s how it’s going to work: 1. [...]
A PROBLEMATIC PAGE This one was tricky. Up until about 48 hours ago, the second half of this page had an entirely different script attached to it. In a weird bit of synchronicity (I SWEAR I don’t schedule the origin stories to coincide with that week’s strip as sharply as you guys thing I do), [...]
UPDATE! THE TRIVIA CONTEST WINNERS and ANSWERS! And the grand prize winner with only one wrong answer is…TYLER HEASLEY! Yeah, that’s my brother. But, honestly, I did not help him. That wouldn’t be right. He’s a very enthusiastic SF reader and just nailed this. Congrats, Tyler! You get to commission a sketch card from artist [...]
JERRY GOES TO COLLEGE That first panel cracks me up. It pretty much encapsulates everything Jerry is. Some commented (I forget who) that Jerry separating from Captain Spectacular to go to college is a lot like what Robin and Batman did during the 70′s. Yep. John Jett did some good work today! I especially love [...]
TRYOUTS! So much great stuff on this page! John came up with some crazy designs for the wannabes and there’s a nice cameo or two in there. See if you can spot ‘em. One wannabe he didn’t design is The Usher, the guy out in front in the first panel. Anyone who owns SuperFogeys Vol. 1 [...]
BUNNIES! We’ve seen this scene before. Most notably here. John really drew the snot out of this page and it is indeed one of his favorites so far. Dude keeps getting better and better. Amazing. GREEN LANTERN REACTIONS I’ve been hearing from many of you that you’re seeing Green Lantern and having a better experience than I [...]
JERRY IS A DINOSAUR! Okay, I fully admit that I scripted in a purple dinosaur wearing a Jerry uniform for my own person amusement. Some images just deserve to be brought to life. It helps tremendously when a guy like John Jett is doing the heavy lifting. NEW WEBCOMIC BY LEE CHEROLIS! Lee Cherolis, the stellar artist [...]
SUCKING OUT THE MYSTERY Man, how many times are we gonna revisit this scene? And believe it or not, there’s still more secrets to uncover about what happened the day a tree fell on Jerry, Captain Spectacular and Dr. Rocket. This latest revelation should fit in nicely with what we know. See the first appearance [...]
THE END OF JERRY’S ORIGIN I hope you’ll all join me in offering a big (mostly in our heads) internet round of applause for John Jett. Through 15 weeks(!) of updates, John never failed me once and turned in his gorgeous pages–each one better than the last–on time and with the maximum amount of effort [...]
