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 [...]

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 [...]

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), [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
