The tabloid appears to be for the "Weekly World News" based on the file name I saved it under. I found this picture, I believe, in the gallery for your art on this site a few years ago. I recall there wasn't much info on it, though. I'd love to see the published version.

I came across the sketch on my computer today, as I saved the image to a folder there. I was looking for art you did that was in the spirit of Halloween.


Edit: Oh, and thanks for the response!!

Ryan, thanks to you providing that link, I was able to actually find the periodical on Google and see the finished version:



Sweet!!

Also, that issue has Sergio Aragonés art!

••

There was some additional silliness I dashed off as a favor. Can't really remember just what, it was so inconsequential!

Thanks for the info, JB!

If anyone can remember what other tabloid illustrations JB did, please share the info here. It's cool to see these more obscure and rare pieces.
