WOW, I keep getting later and LATER with this really cool blogging concept- that never happens, ever- on any blog, no never! I guess i better make this a weekly thing for now. To prime my lazy pump(don’t tell my girlfriend)- I bring you MISS MASQUE!
Miss Masque premiered in Exciting Comics #51, September 1946 by Standard/Better/Nedor Comics- I’m not sure which iteration of that company. Quoting Bill Black’s The Official Golden Age Hero and Heroine Directory , a steal at FIVE BUCKS from AC’s bookstore.
By way of Wikipedia :
Miss Masque is the secret identity of Diana Adams, a young socialite who decides to fight crime and injustice in disguise. Miss Masque has no super powers but relies on her wit and a pair of pistols. Her original costume was a mini-skirted red dress with red hat, gloves and cape, and a domino mask; yellow double “M” emblems on her chest and hat completed the ensemble. A later version of the costume had a bare midriff and shorter sleeves
Miss Masque first appeared in Nedor Comics’ Exciting Comics #51 (September 1946). She also appeared in America’s Best Comics (not to be confused with the DC Comics imprint (see below)), Fighting Yank, and Black Terror; her final Golden Age appearance was America’s Best Comics #31 (July 1949).
There was no writer or artist credited for Miss Masque’s first appearance. Alex Schomburg and Frank Frazetta provided art for later cover appearances, and Ralph Mayo penciled some splash pages.[1]
D. W. Griffith and, later, Godard, “all you need to make a great crimefighting superhero is a girl and a gun.”
Dungeons & Dragons Sketches! I haven’t done D&D Art since High School, except for a few commissions, maybe. These are characters, NPC‘s and events from the last campaign I played in. I’ll post more sometime soon.

Javier Hernandez is a class act and a creative guy. Everyone in indy comics knows that- but I’ve had the pleasure recently to get to know him better as a result of being accepted into his circle of DIY comickers. You would most likely know Jav from his EL MUERTO character; which was made into a film in 2007 and is now on DVD. I really like the character and the comic and I recommend that you buy that book and his other comic book ventures. Here it is- El Muerto fan art for you JAVIER! Hope you like.

Ethan Slayton and I are hard at work getting MINUTEMEN of ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. ready to go live, hopefully by end of September. This WWII super-hero romp is a fun action-packed love-letter to Golden age comics. Made up of 1/2 and half story by us and art by Ethan, it’s a webcomic that Golden-age fans and fun lovin’ superhero freaks like us will hopefully dig the most! These are some preview panel layouts by me, Page 1 by Ethan and a costume re-design of Ethan’s golden-age character, SCORTCHER! WWII superheroics will never be the same!
Here’s the hottest red-head there is! SCORTCHER is ©,TM Ethan Slayton.
