The Amazing Porcupine Man! (a dark knight who throws razor sharp quills and gets hit by a car in nearly every scene)
The Spectacular Whip Kid! (an alien sent from a dying planet, raised by adoptive parents who give him a whip for his birthday)
Spiderman meets the Rose meets Wolverine meets Hulk meets Punisher etc... (i kept running out of ideas, so had to introduce new chracters)
They were my first forays into the world of indie comic books. Anyone else wish to share their very first comic book projects?

Jugghead vs. Juggernaut, circa 1995 - Not really a full project per se, but I did do a cover in real archie style. It was Juggernaut with Jughead trying to tackle him from behind. Jughead's word balloon says, "Hey, this guys armpits smell like hamburgers!"
The Unnamed German Mercenary Project, circa 1997 - I drew this really cheesy german soldier in high school. He fought a zombie in a one page sequential I did and ended up knocking the zombies head off with a shovel. I do remember drawing some crazy goggles for him, the kind that wrap around the top of your head. A few years later, I now see them in the display cases in sunglass kiosks and on the heads of teenage poser loser wannabe-snowboarder chimps.
Transitions, circa 2001-2004 - A tale that's gone through so many drafts, I can barely remember what the original pitch was. I eventually stored it in the "Stuff I'll do when I learn to draw and write better" part of my brain. I think I'll stick to smaller, more cohesive projects in the meantime before I try to pull the 12 issue Sam Kieth writing meets Ashley Wood art style I was aiming for.
Great thread by the way. Keep 'em coming.

Ninja Turtles drawn in sort of an Eastman ... or is it Laird style? the more gritty square style ... I went on and on with this comic I was drawing and introduced my own character to fight with them, some ninja woman.
Then I created my own comic Malefic Man ... some guy that gets killed and is brought back to life through a bunch of chemical mumbo-jumbo and goes out to find his wife or something... I can't remember it all ... this was pre-spawn.
all this was just a bunch of pages drawn when I was 13-15 ...
I actually self published a few issues when I was 18 ... the title was Doll Steak and pretty well recieved (it was a quazi-superhero comic) and I did another comic called Corvus Corpus about some sort of dead guy scarecrow looking dude with crows flying around him. ... it had a small following, but I only published one issue, maybe I'll revisit it.
anyhow. My new comic is once again, Doll Steak, but totally different subject matter and I have the 24hr comic to thank for its resurrection

I don't even remember what it was about, but it sure as hell had lots of BABES! And guns! And a prison breakout!

Hey,
Do you have any images to go with these?
I'll did my archive stuff- goes back years-and post some.
I just want to see how people have grown in their artistic development.
Babes and Guns are always cool.
I don't draw enough of that.
GGG.

Teeka and Gweth (I think that's how I spelt it...):
Take a little Sailor Moon... add some magic a la The Craft... mix together and.... you get a really badly drawn comic written too painful to even read. Yessir... I don't know what happened to it... I probably burned it.
Project Paradox: Worked on this with a friend. I scripted, drew, inked and lettered. She touched up my pencils before I inked them. It had anthropomorphic people, talking rat-bats, genetic vampires and a dinosaur. Really everything you need in a comic book.
Temperance and Theo meet Boomer the Fox: A crossover comic with some of the characters from Project Paradox and Boomer the Fox (a character of a friend of mine, who kind of looked like starfox with a really big gun). It died a painful death... I think we had more fun scripting it and making up zany jokes than anything else. Eventually we ended up with I think about 17 pages. Although it was in the middle of the story and the plot hadn't gone anywhere we decided to just end it for no particular reason, with Temp and Boomer waking up in bed together screaming.
Ahhh... good times...
Lordy I'm so embarassed -_-;;;

For me it was a new Invaders story for Marvel where Captain America was invited by SHIELD to select and lead a covert unit of super-powered heroes to infiltrate Saddam Hussein's compound during the Gulf War and apprehend him. The team included Shadowcat, Antman, Spitfire, and a couple of others I can't remember. This was when I didn't even know the submission process. After that I submitted a short horror story to Dark Horse called The Roast, where a young man recently hired to an ad agency is invited to a Roast in honor of an ad executive who made one too many mistakes. My favorite line in the story: "Sir? Sir, would you like your meat with or without the skin?" Ah, those were the days....

First tries,eh?
Well, technically I have drawn men in tights since I was about five years old....my mom still has the comics which were drawn onto brown paper grocery bags cut apart.
My first attempts at an actual publication (1982)was in junior high school when I did a comic book which lasted four issues called 'The Black Avenger', who was kind of a cross between The Black Panther, Spider man, Batman and Captain Canuck (don't ask).
The Black Avenger led to my creation of the 'Rikkyverse',
which was essentially a lame version of the Marvel universe and the DC universe, featuring rip offs of various characters. (waitaminute, wasn't that the Image universe? OUCH!)
I also had my own team of Canadian superheroes called 'The Canucks' (1984)which would eventually be developed as 'The Canadian Shield'(1994).
Don't expect to see any images though, as the stuff in retrospect was just dreadful.
