Don Simpson 2023 Pre-Holiday Book Mail Order!

HELD OVER—By popular demand, I am offering pre-holiday mail order on select books and comics (including the hitherto show-only VICTORY FOLKS, 2023) now through December 1, 2023 until the cows come home! I will be mailing out packages approximately once a week. You can mail me a personal check to me (below) or PayPal at donsimpsonart (please include PayPal fees; see instructions below). Books are personalized (autographed to your name, if you wish); headshots are available only on certain books with blank pages at an additional price.

Megaton Man Rejects from Savage Dragon Team-Up!

 This are four pages I created on oversized Marvel bleed Bristol (13.5" x 21") for The Savage Dragon vs. the Savage Megaton Man #1 (Image Comics, 1993) but were rejected by Erik Larsen. I was going for a more simplified, Kirby-esque style at the time (evident later in my self-published Bizarre Heroes, made possible by the generous proceeds from this and Splitting Image). Erik wanted the more elaborate Neal Adams-ish inking style of the early issues of Megaton Man, so I took another shot at it. Some panels included Erik's headshots of the dragon, but one splash was left unfinished (apparently, that's when Erik decided he couldn't live the approach I'd taken). The lettering and script in this case is entirely by me.
