Have you seen a dentist lately?


It’s Friday, and again I’m later than I wanted with this posting ... I was waiting for a couple of artists to send in their work. Then finally I got something. I got this story, a few weeks ago, called Toothquake, from a writer named Royal Mcgraw; Detective Comics (Batman) and the Batman: Battle for the Cowl tie-in, Commissioner Gordon #1. When I saw the title I smiled (I hadn’t properly checked out the writers credits, that he kindly supplied)... expecting the tale to be something more suitable for Goosebumps than Havoc 21. Well, I read it and laughed. It was very Twilight Zone but directed by Sam Raimi. Though, I should have guessed, if I had read his credits, that the title would be a curve-ball or misnomer! And what a gifted and funny writer he is.

And then came Ben looking to work with us and I saw his art. I was nervous because I needed to see him handle something that wasn’t the Big Two. And I sent him this story, thinking it would suit his style. And it did. Now, what you see above is not finished. So, keep the criticisms to yourself till you see the second ‘draft’ of the artwork for printing. But I think when Royal (and you guys see this work finished and printed) you’ll understand how perfect Ben’s artwork is for this tale. He’s definitely what Wolfman is all about; debuting fresh young upcoming talent!
