HAWKEYE AND THE BLUE EAR

So I got an email at the office the other day from one of the editor’s with a special request  from a fan’s mother:

Hi there -

I am the mom of a super hero mad 4 year old. He lives and breathes super
heroes, he also has been diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder
- mosaic trisomy 22. The good news is that his physical challenges are
workable, he is mentally perfect, and while he will be having a heart
surgery this summer - he is on the mend. The challenge that he will face
for his entire life are his hearing impairments. He has no ear, and a
complete hearing loss on his right side and mild loss on his left. He
currently wears 2 hearing aids.

Today as he was getting dressed I was putting on his “Blue Ear,” the aid
he wears on his left ear. He did not want to put it on, he told me super
heroes do not wear blue ears. To get myself out of a bind I told him
that sure they do - in fact Captain  America has one under his mask.
After repeated questioning he believed me - but I was wondering
- ay e you have an intern, or someone who would like a challenge - could
you make a little guys day by drawing him a hearing impaired super hero?

Thanks for considering this - I am likely to get stuck in your spam
filter - but you never know - have a great day - I am attaching a
picture of Anthony so you can see one of your dedicated customers.

Best,
Christina

AVENGERS 1959 Recap Pages.

These were some recap page designs I did for Marvel’s AVENGERS 1959 issues #2-5. I decided to design a new recap for each issue because Howard’s art is so great and I felt it needed to be highlighted in the beginning of each issue. I really enjoyed working on these.
