WHYM page25



Dear reader, you may notice a decrease in the image quality of this and the following two pages due to scanning problems. We have opted to stick to our schedule and post these pages as they are, warts and all. Future editions of WHYM - either on the web or in paper - will feature cleaned-up and retouched artwork for these. Thank you.

Jim Anthony Super Detective



First of all, do not worry - WHYM will continue with its regular schedule.

I'm writing this extra post in order to let you all know there's a new work of mine available. That's Jim Anthony Super-Detective volume 1, a pulp-fiction book from Airship27, edited by Ron Fortier, designed by Rob Davis, with stories by Erwin K. Roberts, Andrew Salmon and B.C. Bell, fully-painted cover by Chad Hardin and eleven interior illustrations by yours truly.

You can download it or buy a hard copy following this link.

Cheers!
Pedro

A new series

Starting next wednesday, I'll be posting a new comics series created, written, pencilled, inked, colored and lettered right here by yours truly. Twice a
week, every wednesday and saturday each a new page.

I was writing this sort of essay, an introduction, if you will, to this new comic series of mine, rambling about all sorts of things, but then I had a change of mind. Let the work speak for itself, I thought.

So there, just a few lines, as a sort of announcement. I hope you come by and follow what I'll be building in the following months. If you find it intriguing enough, drop a few lines, comment and tell your friends about it.

Before we go, for the sake of credit where credit's due, I'll be using a font created by AIT's Larry Young (thanks, mr. Young!).

Until then!

Sketches VIII - Neil Gaiman



Neil Gaiman, the man in black, signed me a couple of books back in 2003's BD Forum in Lisbon. Not exactly sketches, I know, but still worth sharing, I think.

Sketches VI - Rosinsky


Rosinsky drew me this lovely Thorgal as a child.
As a bonus, here's the master at work.

Sketches IV - Charles Burns


One of the very first "alternative" american comics I discovered many, many moons ago, watching the Comic Book Confidential documentary.

Charles Burns work is fascinatingly eerie, mixing the disturbing with the glamourous.

Sketches III - Chris Ware



Chris Ware is Jimmy Corrigan. Ok, that might be an exageration... but that's the feeling I got when he did me this sketch.
