Weird Mars

John Prisk - Weird Mars

A work in progress.
This one is going to be "vintaged" out when all is said and done. The header of "Weird Mars" may change if I think of anything more pulpy...

Vintage Swamp Thing

Swamp Thing - John Prisk


Faux-vintage of course, but it looks somewhat convincing, no?
I've liked the character ever since I got some old issues illustrated by the great Bernie Wrightson when I was a kid. This was drawn kinda small in a sketchbook, so it suffers a little from scale, but I thought it would look cool as a vintage cover...

Childhood Hero

Flotsam and Jetsam - John Prisk

"...Grab a gun and shoot into the dark to save my life. Didn't know what I had done 'til I turned on the light..."

As the copy suggests, this is an homage to the band Flotsam and Jetsam and their tune Childhood Hero, off the album Dreams of Death. The whole album tells the story of a kid/guy who is afraid of what he does (thinks he does) to others when he falls asleep...
Childhood Hero seems to be the impetus of the characters problems. He, in the course of a nightmare, is awoken suddenly by his father who is subsequently shot by the boy as he is in a state where he can't quite yet discern dream from reality...
