MAGNUS, ROBOT FIGHTER by Chris Samnee

Great pick, Francesco! I love drawing Magnus and I'm really looking forward to Bill Reinhold's interpretation of the character!

MAGNUS, ROBOT FIGHTER by Andy Kuhn

Sweet choice this week by Mr. Francavilla.

For those of you who don't know,

Magnus is a total badass!

Here's my version. Thanks for looking.

PS. For those of you going to San Diego Comicon,

I am debuting my new art book called KUHNART volume 1.

It's 96 pages of total class, including some of your favorite

Comic-Twart drawings, and various other recent work by me.

It's only twenty dollars (US).

I have a table at the Image Comics booth (#2729).

Stop by and pick one up, won't you.

Definitely in a ROBOT mood this week and next (running a Giant Robot Week over my blog), so as topic for my Twart week I went with some good old fashioned roboass kicking, and who better than Russ Manning's MAGNUS, Robot Fighter? :)

I totally went for a vintage Sunday style strip for this. Now I wish I had time to actually do the whole "DAWN OF THE MECH" story ;)
Ink and inkwash on 7x17" bristol board.

Hope you guys enjoy it :)

Cheers,
Francesco

Great pick Francesco!

ASTERIX by Ron Salas

I'm glad Tom picked Asterix for the week's topic 'cause I always knew I should read Asterix but never had the reason to. I'm glad he did 'cause it's fantastic! I love the humour and the political and social commentary Goscinny and Uderzo manage to put into each tale.

Uderzo is an amaazing cartoonist and I'm going to try to track down more of his stuff. I love it a lot. However, I couldn't get into my own take on Asterix until I thought of Jack Davis. So this is my version on that.

Looking the jpeg, the colours unforuntately didn't scan quite right but I'm letting it go. Hope you all like it.

ASTERIX by Andy Kuhn

Asterix......never read it, don't know nothin' about it.

Uderzo is a pretty great cartoonist though!

Thanks for looking.

* I just realized two days after posting this drawing that I

was subconsciously ripping off Chris Samnee.

All apologies, Chris.

I looked at your drawing when it was posted

but not since. Looking at it now, I'm ashamed of the

insane similarity between our two poses.

Sorry. :(
