Finally! Your first look at the full roster of SuperFogeys Babies! I think Denver and Jeff did some remarkable design work. I worked up a sketch of the SuperFogeys as babies a couple years ago, but I just used their same costumes. Denver and Jeff designed entirely new looks for each of the characters and [...]

So sorry for the lateness of this page! Artist Denver Brubaker and colorist Jeff Couturier are real pros and had it done in time. I just forgot which day it was and didn’t get it up! That may be the lamest reason for a late page possible, but it’s true. It’s really too bad because [...]

Okay, I know last week I said page 3 was my favorite of this story, but now I think we have a new contender. It’s entirely possible I’m the only one so terribly amused by this story, but I don’t even care. Denver Brubaker’s toddler spin on my designs cracks me up . And Jeff [...]

535 – A Superhero, His Sons, His Ex and His Evil Best Friend are Locked Up in a Palace…
by Brock Heasley on September 16th, 2013Feels like forever since we’ve check in on Cap and company. When last we left them, they had a heckuva surprise visitor who had some ominous news before taking off. Now, they’re locked up in Zurida’s Palace–somewhat by choice, somewhat not. Cap made a devil’s bargain to get Michelle back… so now what? I really [...]

When last we saw Zurida she was making one heckuva deal with Jerry. What is still unexplained is what, exactly, she wants to do with the power crystal now that she has it. That’s next week. See you then. Sometimes, strips like this are frustrating because they essentially serve as transitions to to the stuff [...]

UPDATE! Marc posted this shot of the inks for this strip on his Instagram and I just had to share it with you guys: Sometimes, Marc just goes all out. I know for a fact this monster of a strip consumed his life for the past few days. Well worth it, Marc. Well worth it. [...]

Marc did a great little character design with Sokol, who is appearing for the first time with this chapter. I believe Marc’s getting a blog up soon about the thought that went into the look of Sokol. There’s some really nice little touches in there that might not be real obvious at first. Next week [...]

Week 2 of Marc’s break! I do art on these extra strips and Marc comes back next week! Miss the last regular update on the main story? Check it out right here. I couldn’t resist finding an excuse to draw Captain Spectacular. He’s still my favorite character to draw, even after all this time. I [...]

I may have overextended a bit with this one. For those of you keeping track at home, there’s 7 characters in panel 2. You artists out there know that the more characters you add to a panel, the longer that panel takes. I kind of put Marc to work on this one since panels 1 [...]

It’s the small SF 550! The milestone that isn’t! Do you feel it though? Pieces… pieces moving into place. Marc once again did a stellar job fitting a lot of characters into a small space. I’m always so grateful he’s on my team. What’s going on behind the scenes right now? (aka why are you [...]

Marc is just killin’ it with these interior Palace scenes. I might have said that before, but I can’t really say it enough. There’s a lot more meat to this strip that might at first appear to a casual reader. You’ll recall Zurida got the power crystal from Jerry and that Jerry confessed to Spy [...]

I was positively knocked out by that first panel. That’s a lot of very tiny characters Marc fit in there, and I can identify all of them. Pretty snazzy. For those of you just joining us… this what it looks like when it hits the fan. Tangerine, who has repented of his killing ways, has [...]

Some moments don’t need words. I know that’s a pretty rare thing around here, but I’m always glad when they pop up. Less lettering for me to do! Granted, it’s more drawing for Marc, but he rocks these moments so everybody wins. Only one regular update next week (and a special, Christmas surprise, of course), [...]
