Q-boy Short #45 Talking Himself Through One / The History Of Q-boy Part 43

Q-boy Short #45 Talking Himself Through One / The History Of Q-boy Part 43

qbs45

This one is based on this famous Spider-man story from Amazing Spider-man #33 where after a fight with Dr. Octopus he’s trapped under tons of machinery and has to struggle to get free.  The challenge with this comic was taking a story that took many pages and summing it up in one.  All the panels in this comic are based on panels from Spider-man #33. I tried to pick what I felt were the best panels from this sequence in Spider-man #33 to represent the struggle.

The “Instant Evolution”/”Level 2” stuff is basically the Q-boy version of going Super Saiyan from Dragonball.  You’ll definitely see this again in the future.

That’s about it for this one, folks. Next time we meet a guy called “The Reluctant Romantic” in a resturant, and the story this inspire.  Hope you enjoy, and see ya then!

And so we start this year with the first post of 2016.  The subject of this comic, Melvin Wilcox, is based on artist and Spider-Man c0-creator, Steve Ditko.  As suggested by this comic Ditko is a very private person and big on the ideas of Objectivism .

Panel 3 has poses based on the cover of Thor #160 and the cover of The Amazing Spider-Man #19

Panel 4 is based on this page from Strange Tales #116

Next time Q-boy must overcome a great burden… That’s a pretty big hint if you know your famous Spider-Man stories.  Anyways hope you enjoy and see you next time!

Q-boy Short Holiday Special 2 – The Dimes Before Christmas… A Contest For Every Piece On Earth (Censored)

Q-boy Short Holiday Special 2 –  The Dimes Before Christmas… A Contest For Every Piece On Earth (Censored)

qbsxmas2

I honestly would like to do more holiday comics but I usually forget about it until it’s too late.  Christmas though is advertised so far in advanced that I actually have time to make one.  So I was racking my brain trying to come up with idea for a Christmas themed comic, and I woke one day and thought of “Superman: Peace On Earth” by Alex Ross, and then I thought of most of the rhymes which I quickly jotted them down.  I had recently rewatched Felicia Day’s web series “The Guild” on DVD and there was a special feature where they did their version of “The Night Before Christmas” so that inspired the rhymes.  Then I got the daunting/scary idea of actually trying to do the comic in a painted style like Alex Ross.  So I based the panels of the comic the following Alex Ross images…

So that’s that.  Since this will be the last post for this year I’d like to thank you all for reading these comics, and give an extra special thank you to all of you who have liked, retweeted, favorited, or shared these comics in any way.  I seriously appreciate it more than you can know.

As I mentioned in the last post I’ll be changing the name of these “Q-boy Shorts” comics to “The History Of Comics With Q-boy”.  Some other big plans for next year are the return of “The Bastardized Ninja” and the launch of a third comic “Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations”. This new comic will be sorta like heroes and villians talking in the confessional room in a reality show. The plan for now is to continue the Q-boy comics until I get to the end of the Silver Age of Comics and then to take a break.  During that break The Bastardized Ninja comics will be posted.  With this new comic “Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations” the plan is to post these comics 3 times a week between posts of the other comics… We’ll see how it goes.  Anyways I hope you enjoy, happy holidays and have a great new year!

Oh yeah and I saw Star Wars yesterday and it kicked ass!

Eddy finds a new ally and begins a journey to find 7 great artists.  So this is a whole take off on Deathrow Records in the 90’s and some infamous things that happened during that time.  A great movie about it (and one I specifically re-watched for reference) is the documentary “Welcome To Deathrow”.  Next time Eddy goes in search of, and tries to recruit the first of the 7 artists known as “The Teacher”.

Oh yeah did anyone check out Supergirl?  So far its surprisingly good, and a lot better than I expected from the previews of it.  Anyways hope you enjoy and see ya next time!

So the two old friends finally settle their differences… and use a lot of alliteration.  It would be great if Jack Kirby was still alive, and he and Stan Lee could share cameo spots in Marvels movies and shows.

Panel 1 of this comics is based on this image of Thor fighting the thing from Fanstatic Four # 73

Panel 2 is based on this image of Dr. Doom fighting the Silver Surfer from Fanstatic Four # 57

Panel 3 is based on the cover of Fanstatic Four # 93

Panel 4 is based on the cover of Daredevil # 7

Next time Eddy is goes to a movie, meets a new friend, and things change for Q-boy comics.  Hope you enjoy and see ya next time!

So things between Jerry and Eddy go from contentious to straight up violent and weird.  This comic is based on images by Jack Kirby (who Jerry is very loosely based on) including this Captain America pic, the cover to Daredevil #43, the cover of Thor #147, & this New Gods pic.  As crazy as this fight is it gets even crazier next time.  Hope you enjoy and see you next time!
