This was received at Marvel not long after the shirt-lived craze over FAUST (remember that?), so I'm guessing this guy was influenced by that now-forgotten bit of adults-only mayhem.

THE JOKER BITES
What's not to love about a submission from an unidentified hopeful who depicts The Joker taking the place of some blindfolded guy's orally-kind girlfriend, biting off the poor bastard's unit, and then liberally applying malt vinegar to the wound?

This guy should be working with James Robinson and Geoff Johns RIGHT NOW!
ReplyDeletePure Genius. Didn't he end up writing and drawing CABLE?
ReplyDeleteOh, gods - yes, I recall Faust.
ReplyDeleteDavid Quinn came looking for work with us at White Wolf, and gave me a bunch of issues as resume samples. I found the book fascinating in its train-wreck atrocity, but ultimately boring. Never got back in touch with Randy, because I really wasn't good at telling a fellow professional, "Well, I respect your ability to give your artist a bunch of really fucked-up shit to draw, but my book line requires actual writing ability." Faust's one redeeming feature was Tim Vigil's almost (but not quite) S. Clay Wilson-level talent for depicting compellingly absurd levels of blasphemy and carnage. I agree - this dude was probably a fan. Ah, the '90s!
What was with the Watchmen brand TV?
ReplyDeleteA "clever" pun on "Walkman" I guess...
