Supey and the 'Rine

Yeah. That headline is lame. My brain is sleepy.

But it does relate (in a decidedly unwitty fashion) to today's venture into the vault of Gabe's childhood, from which we have exactingly extracted these two gems of yesteryear:











































It's a four day weekend here in the land of never never, and there's some serious pencil pushing to be done. All this comic-book making is seriously cutting into my Buffy the Vampire Slayer watching.

Life is such a long hard toil into infinite darkness, isn't it?

Toil on, toilers!

Black Bird Broad and Big Green Guy

It's a ruby Tuesday and a sunshiny day.

A couple more nuggets from the archives of antiquity:











































Have a splendid tomorrow!

Still Rising...

´Tis the dawn of a new week, which brings of course a new page in the saga of young Gabriel and his purty pitcher making.

Page the third can be found here:

And more nostalgia bombs from the whippersnapper workbook:












































Enjoy the last days of April, friends!

Marvel Boy?

As evidenced by Gabe's choice of subject in his artistic endeavors, some eagle-eyed unbelievers have speculated that young Gabe might have been something of a Marvel Zombie back in the day.

There is truth in this supposition. As a lad, Gabe's attention was predominantly pointed at the amazing adventures of the Uncanny X-Men, while it was his younger brother that was eternally entranced by features like The Flash and the Justice League of America.

Ah, but the tide would change with the introduction of a daring new directive from DC in the form of a funny book called The New Teen Titans. Lured by, of all things, a preview in the pages of Captain Carrot and his Amazing Zoo Crew, Gabe goggled at the unparalleled power of Perez' pulse pounding pencils and Wolfman's soapy superheroic situations.

But mostly, I think he was enthralled by Starfire's outfit.

Those were the days...

Gabe Also Rises

A new Thursday brings with it a new page of Gabriel Rising. Page two that is:

Plus another peek into the Gabester's childhood sketchbook:
























When Captain America throws his mighty shield,
All those who chose oppose his shield must yield.
If he's lead to a fight and a duel is due,
Then the red and white and the blue'll come through.
When Captain America throws his mighty shiiiiiieeeeeeeld!

An Orc and a Bear walk into a bar...

Bartender says " Now you're an odd couple.
How'd an orc like you hook up with a bear like that?"
The orc says "Well, that's an interesting story..."
And the bear eats the bartender.

Here's today's presentation of Gabe's childhood drawings:












































It's an orc and a bear. Get it?

Cowboys and Indians

Ah, the Old West. What boy isn't enthralled by dreams of the dusty trail, the trusty horse, and the silvery six-gun? Who among us hasn't imagined stalking the mighty buffalo on the great plains with bow and arrow? Or taking the scalp of fork-tongued white-eye with the deadly tomahawk?

Hm.

Do kids still play Cowboys and Indians these days? It all seems terribly politically incorrect now that I think about it...

Here's young master Gabe's angle:
