In honor of the passing of Mort Drucker, let's do some Mad-style superhero film parodies. Pick a superhero and name an unlikely actor/actress to play that character and our artists will get their caricature game on!Twitter follower, KeithAlanMorgan suggested Peter Dinklage is the Savage Dragon. I don't know why, but I gave it a shot.
In honor of the passing of the great Juan Giménez, artist on the French comic book series, Metabarons, let's team-up or mash-up American comic book characters with European comic book characters, like the Metabarons, Incal, Blueberry, Blacksad, Tintin, etc. (Technically, I guess you could suggest more Asterix suggestions, but I'd prefer you to try to avoid doing so)Twitter follower, KeithAlanMorgan suggested: Bat Lash and Lucky Luke. I think I'm a new fan of Lucky Luke!
In honor of the passing of Albert Uderzo, team up a comic book character with Asterix or one of Asterix's many supporting characters.Twitter follower, BigMike20X6 suggested: Obelix & Volstagg. Makes sense.
With the COVID-19 crisis getting more and more dire by the minute, the real superheroes are those people on the front lines of this crisis. The doctors, nurses, firefighters, grocery store clerks and pharmacists who are putting themselves on the line to help the rest of us. So the theme is to suggest someone you know who fits into those categories (the "essential" workers) and our artists will depict them as a superhero.I chose those workers in the medical profession who are out there on the front lines. Stay safe and healthy everyone!
