I thought Marc did a particularly stellar job with the inking and the coloring of this strip. Especially in that last panel, where you can really feel Cap’s pain. Cap was one of those characters where I had to really work out in detail the journey he’d taken during the missing year. Obviously, it was [...]

For those wondering, Dr. Rocket’s look here in One Year Later is based on Dr. No’s from the first James Bond film, “Dr. No.” What he’s wearing is called a nehru jacket. Apologies for my lack of engagement last week. You know those weeks you have that are just kind of awful and don’t leave [...]

Writing this kind of on the fly as my presence is due elsewhere in about half an hour (he said, to the interest of no one). A lot of you had some questions a couple days ago about stuff that hearkens back to the early days of the strip and I didn’t do a very [...]
