As the year draws to a close, I enjoy reflecting on the series and graphic novels I had the pleasure of working on this year. While there are several unannounced projects still behind the scenes, I am incredibly proud of this particular selection and their talented creative teams

Another unpublished image by Das Pastoras. This one is done in watercolor and acrylic. It will most likely see print next year...

I have been Das Pastora's agent for about a decade, in which he has worked among others for Marvel Comics, Aftershock, Valiant, Boom!, Fantagraphics, Nuevo Nueve and Beehive Books. Here is a great illustration that he did that will see print next year.

Most people, even Richard Corben fans, haven't read his earliest stories. He created short comics in many genres: humor, horror, social satire, high fantasy, adventure, and more. But my favorite stories by far are his dystopian science fiction. @realgdt.bsky.social

I am the lucky guy who gets to art direct and restore the art for the current Richard Corben Library for Dark Horse Comics. Here is something for an upcoming project. It was first printed as the cover of The Odd World of Richard Corben... As a young person, I was kind of obsessed with this.

I was looking today at my collection of Das Pastoras' original art, and was reminded of why I fell in love with his work. This is a favorite panel from Los Heresiarcas (Deicide).

In 1922, there was an edition with three black-and-white plates by Carl Lagerquist. Following the theatrical versions of the story, Lagerquist portrays the creature as a classically muscular yet threatening figure, heightening the sexual tension when the creature wakes Victor. @realgdt.bsky.social

If have never seen Crimson Peak, is it an extraordinary experience by Guillermo de Toro. The ultimate Gothic film, which in many ways resembles visually his Frankenstein, as well as pays tribute to Corben and Wrightson. It’s a must-see. @realgdt.bsky.social @guydavisart.bsky.social

The new volume from Beehive's miraculous Illuminated Editions is an exceptional book by none other than the great Lorenzo Mattotti, the master of masters. I had the incredible opportunity to meet and socialize with him in the past. www.kickstarter.com/projects/bee...

Guillermo del Toro mentioned he wanted to stage a scene from the novel in his new Frankenstein movie that has never been filmed before. Here are three versions of the scene by Lynd Ward (1934), Bernie Wrightson (1983), and Nino Carbe(1990). Each offers a different interpretation.

Very interesting news about an upcoming comic about Matt Baker, an excellent artist of Golden Age comics who was gay and who drew what seems to have been the first graphic novel.

Timothy Schaffert and I are thrilled to collaborate with French artist Jean-Frederic KonΓ© in our upcoming fictionalized bio-comic of Matt Baker. Jean-Frederic has published mostly gay erotic comics. The graphic novel, titled Easy to Love, will be published in 16 months by Mad Cave Comics.
