Held onto this one for a while so I could publish during the holiday, but I did a redraw of one of the earlier Teen Titans Go! comics from 2004 that was Valentine’s themed and personally speaking I did not think the art was very well done.
So I dipped my toe in yet again to do my own version that I hope it a little more on par with the series’ designs.
Multiversity left a couple of earths empty so I thought I’d fill one up with a series that hardly gets love in the comics. That and I also wanted to experiment with styles on this one.
I’ll never forget the way Marv said “Oh my gohod” when I told him I made him into a character in a fanzine comic story, which I gave him a copy of. Sorry Marv. lol.
Titan Talk 66 cover by George Perez. George was a contributing member of Titan Talk, (a sort of zine with very small print run, say 40 copies only, and every subscriber was also a contributor), beneath it is a full box of other old Titans APAs, I have several, just trying to give a sense of how much fanfic and art existed before the internet was even a thing. for more about this please read https://wonkeaux.tumblr.com/post/164575698322/a-little-bit-about-the-pre-internet-history-of
This came across my fb feed just now, tried to find it here but failed so I post. Edit: source https://www.instagram.com/p/BlDrwy4lslO/?taken-by=cosplayway although anyone can type cosplayway into google and find it, I am remiss in not including an actual URL in my post, I never dreamed this would get over 8,000 notes!
Teen Titans 54 page 13, in colour! sorry about the violence. we really didn’t like Garfield the cat back then, he was a rip off of Kliban’s Cat cartoons, but much more commercial and innocuous. this page was more of a response to the annoying unwanted Captain Carrot and the zoo crew insert comic which interrupted a bunch of DC comics back in the 80′s. it’s also a showcase of my skills (not to boast) of mimicking the styles of other artists, Reed Waller, R. Crumb, Breathed, etc. I should really do something with the Toastie Twins.
So far this is the only page I have edited the linework on other than cleaning up a few stray overlaps here and there, I wasn’t happy with Tigra’s eyes which were too close together, so I digitally moved them up and apart a bit.

Reasons why Princess Koriand’r is extremely inspiring and why you should love her:
Spent close to 5 years enslaved and continued to have an optimistic outlook on life Was abused by her older sister and continued to have some of the strongest will power I’ve seen exhibited (green lantern material hell yeah) She’s a free spirit who doesn’t believe in inhibitions she’s actually a very feminist character Kory didn’t understand the taboos of American culture when she got here because she was used to speaking her mind and being free with her body Kory absolutely never lost the will to fight for herself or others after being experimented on and sexually abused and I find that really important Her planet exploded (New Titans #128, you should check it out) and she continued to be optimistic and led her people to a new planet In Teen Titans Spotlight she was framed for killing someone and isolated herself on a mountain top because she felt so guilty (Teen Titans Spotlight #2 if anyone’s interested) She was a mentor for the Teen Titans in Teen Titans v3 and advocated that the choices they make for themselves have value and that’s important for teenagers to hear (it was important for tiny me to hear honestly) Kory has a beautiful soul pls stop hating her for no reason
I’m very proud of this page, I started making this comic because I was studying Perez art, and copying it, (not tracing) to learn, and realised I ought to make a story instead of just copying some panels, since I was drawing so much, on this page only the last 3 panels were copied from reference art, the 3rd from last was Baretto I think, a controversial panel where Starfire is clearly having an orgasm courtesy of her first husband, who, like all the rest, died, ouch, (worth it though! :D ) that panel was censored in the reprint of the comic, from the original baxter paper edition. the baxters went to comic book shops the newsprint versions went to news stands. Anyway, I think my original art stands pretty well compared to the swiped images. particularly panel 5 where I have her rolling her eyes, even though you can’t see pupils. my crowning achievement.
Once upon a time, say around 1996, I had it in my head that I might be able to collect every single piece of Starfire fan art in existence, and back then, it was possible to imagine you could do such a thing. The internet was in its infancy. Now there’s so much of it, it’s completely impossible to imagine one could collect it all, and I’m happy about that. There was a time when the character was booted out of her own book, which had previously for a brief time, been the most popular superhero comic, and she, the most favoured character, this is true, she went from the top, to limbo, and us firebugs back then worried if she’d ever be back. Starfire forever!
