This comics anthology explores the playful and poignant aspects of sequential art, crossing genres to produce a through-provoking collection. There have been 3 editions of this book, published in 2012, 2014 and 2023. And each time, I updated the cover. The first edition used my most recent rendering of Super Duper Ham. The second edition featured a self-portrait, and the third a digital collage using graphic elements representing each of the comics in the book.
Flying Solo was first self-published in 2009 and later included in Sketches and Streams. A new cover and logo were created for a 2023 reprinting of the individual comic. Both versions of the cover recreated one of the comic’s panels.
In 2011, I self-published a sketchbook collecting some of the collages I made using original panel art from Momentos, Flying Solo, Super Duper Ham: Day One and Martian Debut. I reprinted the sketchbook in 2021 and took the opportunity to update the cover and logo.
The primary villain for Super Duper Ham 2013 was the Cyclops, whose artificial mind could not be detected by the Ion’s telepathy. Transforming drones would have been positioned around Mammapolis. This one would unfold from the top of a telephone pole.
