[Comics] The Dancing Hand of Death

In reacquainting myself with the humble blog, I was shocked to realize that I'd never posted my first collaboration with Mark Davis... "The Dancing Hand of Death!!!" If you can suffer through my artistic katywampusness, you'll find a decent tale.

This was a rather painstaking undertaking which I had initially attempted to complete on a laptop from the mid 1990's (this piece was intended as a launch story for LandMark Comics in 2004). I eventually relented, and did some of the lettering by hand. It wasn't until several months later, after having bought an actual new-ish laptop, as well as a scanner that was capable of scanning in pages larger than 8 1/2" x 11" that I was able to finish lettering and wrap it up.

Enjoy!
