Smokestack Steeples


Hey, just wanted to point folks in the direction of the blog of my new writer and chum Josh Jabcuga. He'll be chronicling all things Mummy related over there, so give it a look-see at some point and drop him a line. Josh also wrote a very well-received 'Scarface' prequel book for IDW, 'Scarface: Devil in Disguise' with lovely noir artwork by Alberto Dose, you guys should seek out the trade. Read more about the creation of that book over at Joshua's ongoing column at Comics101 - 'Joshua Jabcuga's Squib Central'. Josh covers all sorts of topics in the column archives and they're well worth a read. Tell 'im Mooney sent ya!
Here's the cover for Mummy 2, just to give you vultures something to gawk at. I don't like this one quite as much as the covers for 1 and 3, mostly because Lisa wasn't available to colour it and I think it misses that a little. Still fun to draw though, I could pop out pictures of Rick O'Connell for days. Sigh... he's so dreamy.

He sure is dreamy.

I read some of his columns this mornin; he seems to have an eye for what's good and what's not. Reckon i'll go back and check out the Scarface book.

Another great cover Moon, even with out Lisa's great colours. You realy are doing some of your best work on this book.

Man I've got to stop kissing your arse, people will start talking.

Cheers guys! Was a bit on the fence with this one but folks seem to dig it. Just starting into Issue two of Mummy and the script is really rather good.

Hey there Bob, thanks man! Oh, everybody check out Bob's new opus, 'Mr. Amperduke'. Brilliant stuff. There's a link to his site in the links section where you can order it. Can't recommend it highly enough.
