The Venture Bros. 1: Brock

This is a tribute to one of the greatest comic book artists of any generation, Jim Steranko, whose famous cover to Marvel’s Hulk King-Size Annual #1 (1968) is the inspiration for this piece.

This is also a tribute to The Venture Bros., the incredibly well-written, hilarious cartoon from Adult Swim and Comedy Central.

Also, check out the "old comic book" version that I did.

BROCK: After the twist, you'll feel a snap and the body goes ragdoll on you.
HANK: And that will knock him out... even more?
BROCK: That will kill him.
HANK: Do I have to?
BROCK: Alright, fine, crybaby. Tie him up and, I guess, gag him. But at the first sign of trouble I want you to at least break both his knees.

UPDATE

Considering how popular this image has become, I decided it was time to update it with my new skillz. Here is a list of the changes, if you are interested:
> Made Brock's back thicker.
> Made Brock's knife bigger.
> Made Brock's hair more blonde.
> Put more detail into Brock's pants.
> Darkened the skin around Brock's eyes.
> Cleaned up edges of all logo art.
> Changed "25¢" and date font to match '70s Marvel style.
> Lowered fire and made more vibrant by adding layers.
> Lowered "[adult swim]" and added cracks.
