This is one of the coolest sketches I've seen someone do of MissleMan, and this one was done by Gus Vazques. You should go check out his stuff at:

He is really one underrated Comic Artist of our time with a lot of originality and character behind his lines.

We are heartbroken to let you know that Mitch passed away on Wednesday, March 30, 2005. He dedicated his life to comedy and bringing joy to his fans. Mitch loved all of you.

We ask that you remember Mitch through his comedy - let him make you laugh, enjoy life and love one another.

He was my favorite comic, and would have made a fine MissleMan.

And neither do Iâ¦ r i g h t.

So todays Sketch is from the Great one and only George Tuska.

George Tuska finished his studies at the National Academy School of Art at age 21. In 1939, he became John Terry's assistant on 'Scorchy Smith'. At the same time, he joined the graphic studios of Jerry Iger and Will Eisner. There he worked on several comic books, like 'Jungle', 'Wings', 'Planet Wonderworld' and 'Mystery Men'. In the 1940s, Tuska created the character 'Hercule' for Quality Comics and, as a member of Studio Chesler, he drew several episodes of 'Captain Marvel', 'Golden Arrow', 'Uncle Sam' and 'El Carim'.

Tuska was mobilized during World War II, so he had to postpone his comic activities. After the war, he continued in the comic field with 'The Crime Does Not Pay', and as the illustrator on 'Scorchy Smith'. In 1959, he took over the daily and weekly 'Buck Rogers' pages, which he continued until 1967.

In the late 1960s, Tuska started working for Marvel, where he contributed to the series 'Ghost Rider', 'Planet of the Apes', 'X-Men', 'Daredevil' and 'Iron Man'. He continued drawing superhero comics for DC, like 'Superman', 'Superboy' and 'Challengers of the Unknown'. In 1978, along with JosÃ© Delbo, Paul Kupperberg and Martin Pasko, Tuska started a new version of the daily 'Superman' comic. Tuska worked on this series until 1993.

Hey the next time your at a Con Say hi to George and "BUY a PRINT", show some gratitude to this legend, it's hard to reach that status and be alive, but hey he is, and drew this at 89, he's like the "Mace Windu", of Comics, tell him Sam says hi too.

This sketch was done by Linda Medley, she has worked in the industry for years, went to school with Art Adams and Mike Mignola-- strange AA and MM-- hey they both have comic names, whoa, sorry for that tangent.
Linda Medley, winner of the 1998 Eisner for Talent Most Deserving of Wider Recognition, previously penciled DC's Justice League and Doom Patrol and colored Batman & Robin Adventures, as well as illustrating Books of Magic #55
.She is a fantastic artist and does some really great work, I was honored to have her as my "penciling and inking for comics" professor at the "Savannah Collage of Art and Design" or SCAD for short. This sketch here shows the kind of unique imagination that helps drive her to the top of the game. Here is a site to learn more about "Castle Waiting"

OK this one is really bad- Missleman started as a gag, and well I've kind'a just ran with it since this- well that's not true, he sat on a shelf a couple of years since I killed him right away, but then developed him into, well, who he is now- still a gag but a lot more fleshed out. I'm a big fan of humor like this. If I ca find them, I did a series of sketches of this strip and inserted different heros with Missle Man Addition take # as the title, My favorite was one with DC's DR.Fate.

This pic was done a while back- a couple of years back and I'm kind'a ashamed of it- look at his HUGE hand it's like WAY bigger than his head, any ways there is an uncolored version of this in the MissleMan's "Nothing Special" still available here at:

I wont be reprinting this story anywhere else- at least I think- It's the link between the 1st Gag strip ,which I will post here, and Issue one.
