This is a non-arc short, that I did at this weekend’s DigiCon. It’s a response to a terrible tragedy that struck a young man in St. Louis named Mike Meyer, who was robbed of a large chunk of his Superman collection by an unscrupulous person. Now, artists all over are sending him Superman art to replenish his collection. DigiCon had a “Superman for Mike” event, to make artwork specifically for him. I don’t work very fast, so I had to start on Friday, but I think I did pretty well.
As a result, I don’t have a story page this week. Sorry, I’ll try to have one before I go to Intervention. No promises, though, since I have an extra in it whose schedule I can’t control! (Don’t ask me to explain, it’s complicated.)
Superman is property of DC Comics (or the Siegel/Shuster families, depending on the current status of the various lawsuits). This piece is done solely as an homage, if they complain, it’ll come down. The usual Jenny disclaimer applies, see the About page.

Wow. I hadn’t heard about Mike’s story. In the words of Kevin Smith, “Just a bunch of savages in this town.” If Mike worked with this guy at Hardee’s, I wouldn’t think he’d be too difficult for the police to track down.
I think you did very well, and it was very nice of you to create something for Mike.
Thanks. Turns out, the guy was caught, and Mike’s collection was returned to him. Mike is donating his new, extra treasures to charity, which I think is wonderful! I do hope, though, that he keeps the pieces made especially for him, and donates the more generic comic books and collectibles. The made-pieces are one of a kind and largely personalized, and would mean more if he kept them.
