Shazam!
Thought I would give you a little peak at Dr. Sivana, Captain Marvel’s arch nemeses…hope you like it. Haven’t had much time to blog lately; I’ve been getting ready to leave for The Frankfurt Book Fair on Monday to kick off the World Tour. I’ve finished up the Captain Marvel pages I was working on, and I’ve prepped a bunch more to take with me. Still have a couple more things to do, but I’m packed and it looks like all my papers and tickets are in order. The next time I blog will probably be from the road. See you then!
I really dig it-right on, Sai Jeff! It has your signature look(of course) with a really nice “classic” feel to it with the brush detailing, ala J. Buscema and Girodano(sp)…does that make any sense?
Anyway, have a safe & great trip and remember: beware the moors…
Best,
Scott

Pee-ess: Just curious, any recommendations on brushes and inks? Sizes and whatnot…I’ve been experimenting lately with brush, trying out new things. Thanks!

Great image! Really looking forward to this series!
If you get a chance, squeeze in Toledo into your world tour…
Have fun!

Dear Jeff,
This character from Shazam looks fantastic! I can’t wait to see your sensibility in this new context!
I’ve been a long time Bone fan (since I was about 13 or 14) and now that I’m a grown-upish type I’ve had the joy of sharing my “Bone: One Volume” with my younger brother who is just on the cusp of turning 10. His curiosity has peaked!
Anyway, I’m not sure if you were appropriately informed of the Shinders Bookstore “Boneville” contest. Turns out that I’m the Grand Prize Winner! I’m ecstatic!
Thanks for the inspiration and the long-suffering efforts.

Jeff,
your inking is just phenomenal, but what I liked the most was this rare sight of your blue pencil line work. It’s really good to see all those lines flying around, a clear sign of the energy you put into your images, and also a sign that you’re having fun.
Silvana never looked better. And evil.
Have a nice trip, and congratulations on the deal to publish Bone in color in Brazil as well. They just announced it last week.

The inking is phenomenal! Whis I was as good…

Jeff, will Bone ever be made into an movie? if it will be, then I want to be the voice of one of the Bone cousins, preferably Fone Bone or Phoney. Hope the tour goes great.

Jeff, I am so looking forward to seeing your Captain Marvel. Thanks for blogging your progress.
Your work has been a big inspiration to me. Looking forward to meeting you in person again.

Jeff–
Dr. Sivana looks great! I’ve been waiting with baited breath for what seems like years for SHAZAM: MONSTER SOCIETY OF EVIL. Please more blogging on Captain Marvel!

Jeff,
As with many other Capfans, I’ve been waiting for your book.
Also, I am a writer on Marvel Family topics for ALTER-EGO, and would like to interview you some day. I live in Galloway, OH, not terribly far from you.

Glad to see your version of Dr. Sivana—and looking forward to your book. Have an odd feeling I may enjoy it much more than the current “reworking” of the Marvel Family.

By the way—if the John G. Pierce above would get in contact with me at alschroeder3@comdata.com —I am indeed the Al Schroeder III whom he used to correspond with in the mid-seventies.
