So in my travel today I came across a childhood memory completely unrelated to my Roger persona, but it was something I needed to share. As a kid the General Lee was the coolest car in the world and seeing one up close I can honestly say it still ranks up there as one of the all-time favorites.
My brother and his bride drove away from their wedding reception in one of the originals. It was one of the proudest moments of his life.
Magnus, Robot Fighter #4. “Menace from the Depths” Cover art by Russ Manning. Underwater food-processing facilities are sabotaged by a robot that wants to destroy all mankind.
Two great things about this cover. First, check out the head on that robot! It’s a “think-rob” so of course its head is huge. Second, Magnus proves to be the exception to the rule by being a male wearing a cellophane suit.
Turned in my final G.I.Joe cover this week (at least for a little while - it is not one of the ones pictured above). I wanted to publicly acknowledge my editor for this series, Carlos Guzman at IDW. Creating these covers was an exciting opportunity for me and it turned out to be a very rewarding, enjoyable process. I hope that comes across in the work, and thanks again, Carlos for your valuable feedback, encouragement, and patience.
