Art By Future Parker

 
His stuff is heavily influenced by Mike Mignola but that is a good thing. I love the idea of The Elephant Man being a superhero of sorts. Not enough cool Victorian superhero stories out there.
 




 
What is this obsession the Nazi have with dinosaurs? Or what is it about the whole Nazi philosophy that would appeal to a T-Rex. They are NEVER the good guys when they enter WWII. The dinosuars always side against us. Should they even take sides. Aren't all humans as tasty to them regardless of ideology? Being a Nazi is a conscious choice. Stupid dinosaurs.

Dinosaurs always side with the nazis because they're both cold hearted, blood thirsty bastards...goddamn nazis

Yeah, I can see the influence, but I don't care, he's got enough good ideas to make up for it.

Also, evil Nazi plans run on coolness, which is why you need Awesome heroes like Indiana Jones and the Rocketeer to stop them.

The better question is, why do comic-book writers have a fascination with Nazis and the Third Reich?
I kinda get Lee, Kirby and heck, even Thomas writing about it, but enough is enough.
I never want to read another dopey comic about some mummified Nazi or descendant of one who was hiding a doomsday weapon in the jungles of Argentina. Or in Antarctica, or under the sea. Enough already!

Nazi are instant shorthand for evil. It makes for an easy start for exploitation fun.
