Marvel One-A-Day - Day 90: Green Goblin

Norman Osborne, aka the Green Goblin, Spider-Man's nemesis. Out of town starting tomorrow for the weekend. I'll be going to the World Series. Hopefully we can get this thing turned around!

Real Rangers Fan? Here's a Quiz

I am probably the Rangers best pitcher, not named Nolan or Cliff. I carried two teams to the World Series, the Marlins and the Padres, but never the Rangers. Who am I?

I am known for throwing the knuckleball and smoking in the dugout between innings. Who am I?

The Rangers were once caught in the midst of a riot by fans on "Nickel Beer Night" when visiting what Major League city?

I was the victim of Nolan Ryan's five-thousandth strikeout. Then when I was setting a Major League record of my own, Nolan Ryan threw a no-hitter on the exact same night. I never played for the Rangers myself. Who am I?

I was the Manager who took the Rangers to their first ever playoff appearance. Who am I?

Marvel One-A-Day - Day 89: Ghost Rider

Wow, this one was tough, especially considering my mind was preoccupied while doing it.

Marvel One-A-Day - Day 88: Blade

Marvel's premiere vampire hunter, Blade.

Marvel One-A-Day - Day 87: Jack O' Lantern

This week's offerings will all have a Halloween or Horror theme. First up, Jack O' Lantern, with his flaming pumpkin head and flying disc of terror!

Marvel One-A-Day - Day 86: Two Gun Kid

Marvel's first Western character, created way back in 1948, was the Two Gun Kid. Recently they brought him back through time travel to be a super hero.

Marvel One-A-Day - Day 85: Shooting Star

Next in the Texas Rangers line, Shooting Star.

Marvel One-A-Day - Day 84: Phantom Rider

The Rangers won the pennant! And you notice in this image of the Phantom Rider, not only is he waving the Texas state flag , but he is giving "the claw", which is the recognition the Rangers players give each other for a big hit!

Marvel One-A-Day - Day 83: Armadillo

The next in the series of Rangers, Armadillo. Yup, he's a big guy with Armadillo powers. Totally awesome.

Marvel One-A-Day - Day 82: Firebird

In honor of the baseball team, I kick off Texas Rangers week. Marvel had a super hero team for every state following the "Superhero Civil War" and Texas' team was called the Rangers, of course. This is Firebird. She makes fire, as you might imagine.

Out of Town - Go Rangers!!

Out of town a few more days, going to see the Rangers and Yankees in Dallas. Go Rangers!!! I will be back with more one a days on Monday.

Marvel One-A-Day - Day 81: Havok

It just felt like this one needed colors, to get the force blast goin' on. Done by request (hence the birdcage hat, which I am not a big fan of.)

Marvel One-A-Day - Day 80: Rockslide

Rockslide, another one of the newer, younger X-Men. Also, this was done by request, so as requested, you also get a guest appearance of Anole, who I drew way back in the first week or two of my one a days. But he doesn't formally count in the tally of characters, since I already drew him.

Marvel One-A-Day - Day 79: Longshot

In celebration of my beloved Texas Rangers winning their playoff series tonight, I present Longshot! The Rangers have been a "longshot" their whole franchise history, and they remain a longshot to beat the Yankees, but with perhaps a little bit of this mutant's famous luck they can move on to the World Series!

Marvel One-A-Day - Day 78: Trance, Loa, and Dust

These three are among the newest and youngest X-Men. I think its a general attempt to keep the X-Men angsty and relevant, that they add new teen members all the time. Nothing new. Remember Leech and Artie Maddicks? Kitty Pryde? Jubilee? The New Mutants?

On the left we have Dust, she is a Muslim wearing the traditional Burqa. She turns into, well, Dust.

In the center, on the couch, is Trance. She goes into a trance and can project a ghost, or astral projection.

And on the right is Loa. She is a new version of Kitty Pryde, except I think she shreds the crap out of whatever she goes through. She is hell on Sentinels.

Marvel One-A-Day - Day 77: Iceman and Firestar

This kicks off X-Men week. My favorite merry Marvel mutants. And since the X-Men are a team, I am going to make an effort to do several team-ups of more than one character to challenge myself.

When I was a kid, I already loved comics, but the thing that got me into Marvel, was the Saturday morning cartoon, Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends. The "Amazing Friends" were the X-Men: Iceman and Firestar. I definitely liked Spidey, but this series totally got me hooked on X-Men comics. I've been a sucker for them ever since.

Marvel One-A-Day - Day 76: Tiger Shark

Tiger Shark, a villain, as you could imagine.

Marvel One-A-Day - Day 75: Marrina

This rather strange, but adorable, looking lady is Marrina, a member of an alien species called the Plodex. She breathes underwater and was once lover to Namor. Also a member of the Canadian super hero team, Alpha Flight.

Marvel One-A-Day - Day 74: Namorita

I've done Namor, Namora, and now Namorita. All the Namor people are done.

Marvel One-A-Day - Day 73: Aquedeuct

Had to make it a quickie tonight, Aqueduct a Ghost Rider villain.

Interlude: Conservation Girl!

A long-time friend of mine has spent the last many months helping clean up the oil spill in the Gulf. So I thought it would be fun to reward her with a little cartoon of Conservation Girl, Defender of the Planet from Icky Black Goo!

Hope you like it Ali. :)

Marvel One-A-Day - Day 72: Hydro-Man

He's a Spider-Man villain and he turns into water. What's not to like?

Marvel One-A-Day - Day 71: Namor

Sorry Iron Man Week didn't get too far. It's hard to post these when I take trips home, because my folks aren't really wired in at home. No scanner, no computer even. Certainly no internet.

This week, I think I'll do characters with an underwater theme. Starting with Namor, Prince of Atlantis.

Is it coincidence that I was watching Chuck while drawing him, and he came out looking like Adam Baldwin? I certainly didn't mean for it to happen, but you know what now I can't imagine a better actor to play him in a movie! What do you guys think?
