Hey, all!

Glad to see the positive reaction to the big anniversary issue! I'm really proud to have been a part of it, even if for only 5 pages. I thought it might be cool to share some of my preliminary sketches, give you a little peek at the stuff that is usually never seen. Hats off to my editor Steve Wacker who gave me the ball and really let me run with it!
If anyone dug my stuff enough to want to own it, a couple of pages from my story as well as some of my other covers are up for sale on eBay.

Best,
Eric

Hey Eric! Thanks for sharing these with us, especially the cover. You're wrap around to the main story worked really well I thought. Now, on to eBay because I just got to get me some original Garth art.

Re: the cover. I can place everyone except the blonde in the cape in the upper left. Is that supposed to be Andromeda?

Great cover Eric, but one member is missing...Ferro!
Kudos anyway! Awesome stuff! Keep it coming!


The best way to find out where you're from is to find out where you're going and then work backwards.
Where are you going?
I don't know!

Spooooooon!!!

Nice stuff, Eric! The freckles on "Garth" are an inspired touch.

Its Dreamer - that's what she was wearing back in the Robotica arc.

Thanks so much for posting, Eric!

Your art on this book was beautiful... just perfect for the framing sequences, I thought!

Ah. Thanks! The blonde hair (looks blonde, not white, to me) and cape/wrap fooled me.

Eric,


I really liked your drawings of Clark and the retro look to the founders.

Hey Eric,

I've got to say I loved your pages. Great job. Steve shpwed them to us when we were in the offices months ago and I was just blown away. I hope he's keeping you busy.

Methinks perhaps Eric showed ua a little something we weren't supposed to see just yet...

Oh well, I guess we can take heart in the fact that Steve Wacker probably lurks over here and keeps an eye out... smile

Or you could just go here to see the inked (not the colored one though) up for sale.

And SoM, I would like a copy of the color one if you still have it. Just e-mail it to me. Thanks.

Sorry, I guess I got a little over zealous with my posting. I had to take it down. I'll be sure and put it back up once it's "officially" released.

Thanks for the compliments! I hope I get to play in the Legion sandbox again soon!

Eric

Are you going to have to do any tweaking - just out of curiousity, since Umbra and Dreamer have changed costumes since it was drawn, clearly?

Nice pic though smile

Thanks for sharing, Eric -- the Apokolips page actually looks more awe-inspiring in b/w. Loved the sketches too -- hope to see your work in these pages again soon!
