If you’ve been following my blog posts then you’ll have been watching this piece develop over the last few weeks. If you haven’t, just let me recap briefly. Bill Mantlo was a writer for Marvel comics, and ROM Spaceknight was the comic he was perhaps best known for. Sadly, in 1992 he was the victim of a hit and run accident, and has been in institutional care ever since. The piece I’ve been working on is my contribution to a forthcoming book and exhibition in aid of Mantlo.

Over the weekend I completed my artwork, which you’ll find below. I simply love working with light and shadow, and I must say that I’m pleased with how this has all come together. It’s evolved over time, but remains fairly close to the image I initially saw in my head, which doesn’t always happen. I hope you like it! I’ll let you know if the piece makes it into either the book or the exhibition in due course…
