More Internet Superheroes!

Here's another freelance job that made the argument that faster internet connections were akin to superpowers. This one is for bright.net, an Ohio-based internet service provider, c. 1998.

Also included is a parody of the famous Charles Atlas advertisement that has adorned comic books since the dawn of time. My pals at Dark Horse Comics, who had a licensing agreement with Charles Atlas, alerted them to my parody, causing me a bit of legal grief until the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund magnanimously agreed to intervene on my behalf. Thanks, Dark Horse!

Gym Heroes: Cincinnati Magazine

Here is a job I did for some kind of healthy lifestyles article for Cincinnati Magazine in 2001 (I don't recall ever seeing a print version, so I don't know how they were used):

Progressive Insurance: Road Warriors!

This is one of many freelance assignments I did in the late 20th century on the theme of the coming wireless revolution that was supposed to turn everyone (particularly clients) into science-fiction superheroes. The script was lousy, but I still like the art. It was issued as a black and white promotional comic book with a color cover. (Obviously, Progressive has had much more success with the Flo campaign than with the Road Warriors.) Enjoy!

(Note: On the cover, the client made one alteration. They removed the butt crack on red-costumed brunette's figure. This is the original version, with butt crack intact.)
