Heres a little something as my way of saying thanks to those who have emailed me with kind words, especially about GLC #25. It is really nice to get up and go to work with a little extra spring in my step knowing that it was well received.
Not that I would know. I have yet to receive my copies of the issue.
Usually I get a box the week before or the week of the issues arrival on shelves. But this month? Nothing. I live quite a ways from a decent comic book store and I absolutly rely on my box of comic book comps. They are usually very regular.
Not that I'm complaining. In fact I am quite greatful that DC sends us comps at all. It really is a great perk.
But what happened to them? I honestly don't know. Every day I peek at my doorstep filled with the vein hope that there will be the familiar little brown box, neatly tucked along side my doormat. But everyday I turn away, head hung and drudge off to the studio, crestfallen and empty handed.
What if they were stolen? Now that I think of it, that neighbor kid has been playing around my driveway a lot. Or maybe they are just lost somewhere. Maybe some guy, a down on his luck GL fan, who only recently was forced to choose between putting gas in his car or his monthly CORPS fix, woke up one day and got a surprise on his life......a nice brown box full-to-bursting with brand spanking new GLC comics!
I rather like that idea.
But I don't want anyone to worry about me. My buddy Adam Schlagman over at DC has assured me that he can get me some. Phew. That is a relief.
So in closing, I hope that guy out there enjoys his comic books. If you happen to be reading this, no harm done, and no need to return them. And hey, don't feel bad about putting gas in your car, man. Ya gotta do what ya gotta do. We all understand.
Besides tonight I'm satisfied. Satisfied because I know that out there somewhere, someone is doin alright.

Looks like you channeled any anger you could have possibly felt into Mongul's face there anyway, ha.
every month i look at the solicitations for the upcoming slate of DC comics and hold my breath when i get to GLC! "Why?" you ask? because as the comic business goes, we the consumer never get to know when our favorite creators are leaving specific books behind for new endeavors. i am glad to see that my favorite underappreciated artist has, for the forseeable future, not left GLC. can you please let your audience know, when you know, where we CAN find you if you decide to leave this awesome comic. Seriously, there is always talk about Jim Lee and Lenil Yu-too much talk really. They're fine, but i will buy anything you or the other 2 most underappreciated artists of this generation; Carlos Pacheco and Doug Mahnke (how do you pronounce that?) draws. even hated characters such as Hawk and Dove, or The Creeper i would buy if your name was attatched! thanks for the monthly entertainment!
Thanks!

Oh, also, that's a wicked Mongul.

You are the moral authority. And you draw a mean Mongul.
hey pat, just found your site and wanted to drop in and say that I'm really enjoying your run on GLC, really awesome work!
ooohhh..... dat dere is a perdy picture ya drew Pat.
Woohoo! The book just came out, and it is simply stunning. The double-page spread, with all the Lanterns in the grip of fear was particularly inspiring, I loved how it was "framed" by the black silhouettes.
Gorgeous.
