Here’s page one:
I had fun coming up with a Kirby in Babylon design for the temple.
Here’s page two:

Here’s an in-progess snapshot of a crazy Savage Dragon story I’m working on. It’s a four-pager, these are page one and the double-page spread. Panel-for-panel, this might by the most narratively compressed story I’ve ever done.
Here’s the color version of the first page. I’ll probably add a yellowy crinkly newsprint effect to it, too.
Okay, here it is lettered and with the old-timey comic distressing.
I came up with this story on a long, lonely car ride home from a comic convention. I wanted to do something overtly Kirbyesque.

I just couldn’t come up with a story that really interested me.
Then I thought about boiling the experience of a seventies Kirby comic down to its essence. To me it’s the splash page, the double-splash, and the quick, compressed ending. Four pages, that’s it. The similarity between Dragon’s and OMAC’s silhouette sent me down a certain road which led me to a bunch of different associations and imagery.

It’s based on his account of his accidental near-electrocution, which is a very real danger for electric guitar players. It’s easy enough to remedy nowadays. You just need to plug your equipent into a jack that has surge protection. Electrocution by guitar claimed the life of Keith Relf of The Yardbirds back in the seventies.
