Evan Dorkin is god

sketch of the Demon Etrigan by Evan Dorkin

Just a sketch Evan Dorkin did out of boredom of Etrigan the Demon, one of Jack Kirby’s seventies creations. I just love this sketch to bits; so adorable, so recognisably still a Kirby creation yet also very Dorkinesque. He has been doing other sketches of classic Marvel heroes and villains on his Livejournal before and everytime I wonder why Marvel hasn’t gotten him to do some sort of project –graphic novel, miniseries, oneshot, anything– with whatever sixties Marvel characters he would want to use. Because I would pay quite a few bright, shiny pennies for something like that.

    He wrote a Thing miniseries that nobody bought or liked.

    except me. I brought and liked it. No one does ‘romance gone wrong’ stories like Mr Dorkin
