Hell's High Captain is a chilling combination of Darkseid, Baron Karza, and The Destroyer.

I shake with jealous abandon that you could create such a perfect Jack Kirby [A.D.] villain.

You're always jealous of me.
My hair, my moves, my large pectoral muscles.
Get over it.

It should be noted that "Hell's High Captain" is sort of like ... "The Hostess with the Mostest". You know, like a description, not a proper name.
We still don't know what this bad boy's name is ...

And thanks for the high praise!

"The hungry hosts of Orolus, hot and howling for the blood of Atlantis"

The use of the "O" just make the alliteration even BETTER! Stan could only Marvel at it.

I approach dialogue and captions like writing lyrics. I try to make sure they have a rhythm and a balance to them as best I can.

No, really.

NAMELESS metal! You're departing a little bit from The Man's prose style -- or was it Roy who named his metals?

Actually, this is starting to have a LOTR motif as much as early Marvel. Lookin' good.

With "nameless metal", we will now have to include Robert E. Howard and/or H.P. Lovecraft to this fanfic pastiche of mine.

YOU ARE PUSHING ALL MY BUTTONS BEAUTIFULLY.

I thought of a number of possible responses, that play on the idea of your buttons, but they all seem inappropriate.

sweet baby jesus, why can't you draw MY comics?!

this is fucking awesome!

I agree that Baby Jesus should draw your comics. Let's start a petition!

Having seen these pages without words makes me feel kinda cool for getting a sneak peek, yet it never ruins the final reading experience.

Screw that, you ain't nuthin' like Stan. Filtered through your own twisted jargon, the script is fresh, alive, and tighter than Aqualad.

Wow, tighter than Aqualad?

Now that's a compliment!

I just love this page! Having coveted it for so long it's great to finally see it all lettered. Amazing.

Will Hell's high captain come to NYC so I can get "high" with him?

Really nice baddie. Will be a great t-shirt or action figure.

I'm not sure this guy can keep up with your chronic habits.

I like the action figure idea, but I'm hoping for a plushie.

I did?

You did. It's too bad, because it would have fixed everything that's wrong with Loviathon. And Watchmen.

Wow, forged in the deepest hottest pits of an infernal damnation! That's
one hell of a line.

Love the way you put emphasis on the heads with the boxes - nice touch.
