February 21, 2010

Frank Brunner, Dr. Strange, Spawn, Heroes, Roswell, Galaxy Quest, Swamp Thing, C-3PO, Star Wars, Babylon 5, Dr. Who, Soylent Green, Blondie, DS9.

One of my favorite Marvel characters has always been Dr. Strange and I've always thought of Frank Brunner as the best to draw him.

Anthony Daniels is also having a birthday today. Who ? Well for all you Star Wars fans it's none other than the voice of C-3PO.

And finally, one of my favorite series started to in 1993. Babylon 5 started with the pilot movie and then finally the series began. So have fun reading the blog and then come back tomorrow for more.
