Idiot Heroes and Villians

Oct 082007

I recently began work on The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Superheroes and Villains, Illustrated. This is another “how to draw” book for IDW Publishing, in the vein of the manga books I worked on with Tomoko Taniguchi. This time around, though, the equally talented Yair Herrera joins me to bring my notes to life and provide the real meat of the book.

Because we don’t have the rights to use any established heroes in this book, I get to come up with a whole new slate of characters for Yair to draw. For me, this is tons of fun. Look for the book sometime in 2008.

One of those times when a presumed negative (no licenses) turns out to be a net positive (more creative freedom)…can’t wait to see this one.

Thanks, Brett. Better yet, my agreement allows me to keep the copyrights on the characters, so I get to play with them and keep them too.
