One thing I must say about MissVee's art is that she creates some of the most provocative & sexy poses for women. I would even say that they are under appreciated or at least underrated, but I always admire them. For instance, with "BG Seduced by Scarecrow" (http://heromorph.com/heromorph2/modules/myalbum3/photo.php?lid=3974) I saw the immediate value in the work for making some new comic art. I simply took Vee's pose of Batgirl here, and plundered it for my own misuse. However, the homage is paid by digging out the masthead that was implemented previously by yours truly of A Wonder Woman-Black Cat cover (see "Heromorph [Back] Issues", http://heromorph.com/heromorph2/modules/myalbum3/photo.php?lid=2909 ), also based on original art by MV.
The style is a throwback to the old Bronze Age comics. |

Zatana gets a surprise as she goes down in the Heroines & Villainesses Dunk Tank, a fundraiser for HM mods. Just a good thing it wasn't Fecesface.
So who's next?
For Mr. OCP. (Actually, I had to find a way to get out of drawing the fishnets!) |

Stage name: April Fewells
Real name: Unknown
Also know as: April Fewell, April May, Shirley Eugeste, Harley Quinn*
Nationality: Unknown
Height: 5' 8"
Caucasion, sometimes brunette, sometimes blonde.
You are looking at recent promotional photos of burlesque stage performer and comic extraordinaire April Fewells. She is shown here with her ever popular stooge puppets (left) and performing her provocative "Examination" sketch (right). She is believed to have disappeared in the Vegas underground. She is wanted on suspicion of arson and the assassination of at least two organized crime bosses. Her known talents include singing, dancing, and ventriloquism, as well as some knowledge or expert knowledge of explosives and/or firearms.
If you have information regarding Ms. Fewell's whereabouts, please contact your local police or the FBI. Don't let her girlish pranksterism fool you, this woman is extremely dangerous!
_____________
*As those that have been following my Vee comic in the HM Comic Books know, I inadvertently created a new heroine from the plot, Miss V. In order to continue the story, the villainess's name "Harley Quinn" will have to be dumped and replaced, as it is copyright DC Comics. As April, she has already demonstrated that she is as dangerous as she is funny as she is beautiful. Despite keeping the "broad" in broad farce she is extremely dangerous and a deadly adversary of Miss V. |

Funny, I never got into this character much. As MissVee says, there isn't enough Spandex. However I find you can have a lot of fun with Shulky, which I suppose explains her popularity.

Alternate cover art for the character. I decided to go with a simple portrait this time rather than an action shot as with the previous. Miss V is holding advanced 21st century weaponry such as the AA12 auto shotgun (to blast casinos) and the HK Mark 23 SOCOM. The tricky part was getting them to scale. Special thanks again to Mr. MC and his encyclopedic knowledge of these weapons.
I still don't know which cover is preferable, but maybe it's about time I quit goofing around and get on with the story already! |

Somehow these back issues keep turning up, vintage 1971-72 or so. I didn't know HM was even in business then, let alone had an imprint. Anyway, this is a combination of themes from Detective Comics #341, where Joker is disguised as Batman, & Harley Quinn #10, where Harley impersonates Batgirl.
Of all the Vee covers done thus far, to me this is the most convincing of that late Silver/early Bronze Age comic style.
So what other titles will turn up from the vaults--"House of VampireLover?" "Dungeons & DragonDack?" WonderWas?" "Jr Chronicles of McDeath?"

First issue cover. Synopsis: While following a lead to an underground Vegas drug connection (the town is only referred to as Vegas, never Las Vegas) Miss V uncovers the secret lair of The Queen-of-Nice, an arms smuggler for the trade, and the first in a series of super villains. The origins of Miss V are also introduced in back story sequences.
The artwork took me much longer to compose than usual. I initially held an image in my mind that was not in its entirety. It had to be fleshed out, though piecemeal, on paper and in PS. Special thanks to Mr. Android and his wonderful artistic sensibilities for helping me get past a few creative blocks, and Mr. MC and his expertise with firearms. |

I decided to give this a try. Subsequent interior page sample from "Harley Quinn's Ultimate [Secret] Identity Theft," from the Knockout Vee Stories cover, http://heromorph.com/heromorph2/modules/myalbum3/photo.php?lid=4362
Updated with more detail (nerd ladies, student, bookshelf, and Harley in upper right corner) and less cartooniness to match page 2 panel (above). Much better than before. Also added disclaimers and legalese at bottom.
(Perhaps a nude version will be issued later.) |

I wanted an excuse to do some more comic drawing. I got inspired by Vee's recent posts and decided to rework WW and Kat by MissVee (see post in comic art). However the more I worked on it, the more it got out of hand, and it ended up thusly.
My apologies in advance. |

Taken directly from MissVee's terrific original interpretation of a scene from the 60's Batman series, with special guest crook Louie the Lilac. I had begun a version of this before, but changed course and wanted something a bit more urgent than posed, as if Bats was in some real danger of having the heat turned up by henchwoman Lily. ( Vee's original: http://heromorph.com/heromorph2/modules/myalbum2/photo.php?lid=7121 )
Besides, there's something a bit cathartic in the implication that Milton Berle just got wasted. |

Postcard art for my OC April Fewells. Admiral April strikes a pinup pose on another kitschy photography set. Presumably the cut-out ships crash into each other because of the distraction. (I think the Portuguese ship was commanded by Mr. OCP  ) |

| Things That Make You Go 'Huh?' II: Girl Phantom
co_04 Other Comics 2008/3/12 22:08

My recollection of this character is so vague that I couldn't remember if she came from the comic books or the comic strips. I couldn't remember if she was Lady Phantom, Girl Phantom, Phantom Girl, or something else. References to her wouldn't even show up on the Internet. I began to wonder if she ever existed at all, so I thought I would try and flesh her out anyway. If she was that obscure, she would make a good candidate for my Things That Make You Go 'Huh?' series.
Sometime later, I noticed that Moonstone held the license to the Phantom title and I asked if they knew anything about Girl Phantom. They gave me the rundown even though she hasn't been in the comics in years. Apparently she is the sister of the Phantom, and even subbed for him for awhile in the strips.
Anyone who's never heard of Girl Phantom can now see her as she makes her very first appearance here in the HM Comic Art Gallery.
Also, I couldn't remember if she carried two side arms like the Phantom or just one, or even none at all. To be sure, for this pose she carries only one side arm, and two 45's.

About a year or so ago I thought I should get out a couple boards and the old #3 sable and get to work on an original character. What surfaced from the bog of my mind was something that seems to resemble a combination of Donna Reed, Soupy Sales, and Anna Nicole Smith. How did this happen? Well, maybe 'cause she's based on an old gf.
I'll have to investigate the possibilities of a Spandexed and caped alter ego. |

April heats up the kitchen as a sexy blonde baxter. If you notice the clock hands are so positioned as if to suggest the old nursery rhyme "4 and 20 blackbirds..." etc.
April's 2nd comic is now available at IndyPlanet http://www.indyplanet.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=4134
You've already seen many of the pages in development here at HM over the months, and now all 28 pages are print on demand in blazing color. Total PG fanboy (and fan girl) fare.
And if that's not enough, there's a new foreword by HM's very own Biohaz Daddy! |

More firsts-- only at HM.
Perhaps you've heard of artists who create women that make you go "Ah!" But this is a totally new concept--women that make you go "Huh?"
The first in a series, presented here for the first time and exclusively at HeroMorph, where the Chief dares to be different!

Another find from the archives. Heromorph's premier horror comic from the 1970's, recently found on Ebay.
I've always been a big fan of Berni (or Bernie) Wrightson's brush style, so I thought I'd take a break from the super heroines and start brushing. We seem to have a dearth of horror comics around here, sooo...
The masthead was all hand lettered. The style, the coloring, and the graphics are a throwback to the era of DC's flagship horror comic "The House of Mystery", from the '70's. http://www.coverbrowser.com/covers/house-of-mystery/5 . Judging by this cover, HM wasn't shelling out much money for writers at the time.
This piece is dedicated to Mr. OCP, and his former management at the hostel pension. |

As those who have been following these posts know, I have been uncovering vintage issues of the HeroMorph Comics imprint from the 1970's. As a change of pace, I found this cover from about 2000-2001 (notice the %1000 jump in cover price and a more up-to-date HM logo). As you can see, the Knockout Vee Stories title continued over the years, reaching to number 161 in this case, and still disavowed by the comics code. Simultaneously published in WTF? Comics which eventually sank them. Truly a rare item. If you don't believe me try finding a copy on Ebay.
(Actually I just wanted to go on to a different comic style.) |
