Redartz: In the course of our comics fan careers, many of us have tried our hands at writing/drawing some comics ourselves. Perhaps it was tracing the figures on a favorite cover. Maybe we were covering our schoolwork with sketches of favorite characters. Some may have actually tried to create actual stories featuring some notable heroes and villains. And some may have created stories and characters all their own. All are satisfying creative outlets for the inspiration provided by our four color hobby.
And in recent years, the growing popularity of "adult coloring books" adds a whole new opportunity to participate in comic creativity. Check these out:
Today we will look at some examples of just such 'fan art'. To begin with, here is a clever story courtesy of our friend Pfgavigan. Enjoy!
Redartz: I've designed many comic-related cards for my wife, for Valentine's Day and other occasions. Also, every year I try to design a greeting card for the holidays. Sometimes they are serious in tone, other times lighter. Here are two which reflected a bit of my comics affection (some might call obsession).
How about the rest of you? Have you made some drawings, done a few sketches, made a comic? If not, given the chance, what kind of character would you most like to work with? What kind of story would you tell? Unleash your inner Englehart, your buried Byrne; tell us all about it.
