Solomon Stone: Now In Two Dimensions!
That's right: I'm squeezing yet another update out of this.
Anyway, when properly focused, the ISB's readership--an army numbering in the high dozens--is not unlike a laser, and with the tremendous response I've gotten to the turgid prose of Chapter 14: Deadly is the Hydra, it should come as no surprise that some of my more artistically-minded readers have taken it upon themselves to offer up illustrations of the World's Most Radical Action Hero.
First up, we've got Matthew Smith with an animated-style piece that features both Solomon's radical skateboard skills and a devastating Cromartie-esque pompadour:
That would've been enough to make my day, but then I recieved an email from EKN, who offers up a sketch of the cover art from the forthcoming Solomon Stone graphic novel adaptation, which scores untold bonus points for including Minxy Flatbush:
It's the beginning of a media empire. I can feel it.
The same day that I got the first Solomon Stone art, I also recieved a message from Steve, which included the following sketch of me as MODOK.
For the record, I don't actually have glasses, a lightning bolt-shaped soul patch, or a pipe (let alone a pipe that emits Kirby Krackle), but it's based on the default picture on my MySpace Page is the same one I use for the Relatively Serious Comics Reviews graphic. And also, it is totally awesome.
On the off chance that you're not sick of the crayons yet, I've lent my highly dubious "talents" to Adam Ford's Monkey Punch Dinosaur! For those of you unfamiliar, yes. It is exactly what it sounds like.

Sweet F***ing Christmas! Like the men of stout Cortez, looking for the first time at the Pacific from a peak in Darien, I am overcome with a wild surmise. Truly, when it comes to vampire private eye fiction, You Can't Get Blood From A STONE!

M.O.D.O.B? Man, without a name that ends in a K or a hard C all the other acronym dudes in A.I.M. are just going to laugh at you...

Apart from the skateboarding thing, I woulda seen Stone as an older fella than those pics would indicate. Older, kinda grizzled.

And of course the invitation to submit pictures of monkeys punching dinosaurs is heartily extended to all of the superb illustrators that abound among your devotees, Chris. Thanks again for the monkeypunch.
I shall return the favour with some SolStone fanfic forthwith.

I don't know who EKN is, but I do so dig that picture. Solomon Stone may look considerably less like Bruce Campbell than I imagined (and considerably more like Dean Venture), but other than that -- pure awesome.

Wow. Those Solomon Stone pictures rock! I especially enjoy the second one because it proves that Solomon Stone will be three times as awesome as Dragon's Lair.

Damn I knew I should have put Minxy in there.

Two semi-unrelated comments:
1) You know Adam Ford! I've met the guy a couple of times through a friend, he's really awesome. Great poet, also.
2) This has shown up on Amazon:

Chris, can't you do an L Ron Hubbard and start a Solomon Stone religion? It's filling a hole we didn't even know we had. No, not that type of hole. In fact, I rate Solomon Stone even more Airwolf than Marvel Adventures 9, since - and this is surely Jeff Parker's secret shame - the Avengers return to normal at the end!!! Word verification: ywmrir. You can do your own Clor gag - I'm too busy freaking out.

Stone's shirt in Matthew's picture is radical to the max. It makes me wish all our heroes wore pastel shot silk.

I was hoping that "Monkey Punch Dinosaur" indicated some sort of Lupin III spoof.

Call me crazy -- many have -- but I pictured Solomon Stone as black. Solomon Burke, not Solomon Kane (both of whom are completely worth your time).

Nope, in order to >conquer the youth market--uh, I mean, embody the spirit of rebelliousness, Solomon's a younger fella. OR IS HE?!

Nope, afraid not. If memory serves, there's another Chris Sims out there who's done some stuff for Dragon Magazine, so that's probably him.

I'm a little concerned about all the Solomon Stone slash fiction that is starting to appear on the internet, but I suppose it doesn't hurt the original product too much.
