Tom Artis’ Marvel Kids
Our friend Doug Rice passed this unpublished story along to me, and I wanted to share at least the splash panel with you ComicMixers out there. It lead off a 1993 project called “The Marvel Kids” – its intent is obvious from the art.
Doug wrote the job, and our late buddy Tom Artis was the penciller. Al Vey rounded it off with the inks. It’s a shame the project didn’t go anywhere, as the creative team had more wit and charm than a barrel of pie-throwing monkeys at a Cirque Du Soleil gig.
