The Phantom

I just got some good news. After two or three months of courting the gents at Moonstone Comics, I've been asked to be the regular colorist on The Phantom, written by Mike Bullock with art by Carlos Magno. If you've read the blog before, you might know I've done a little bit of work assisting with colors, but this will be the first time I'm taking on the full job, myself.

Of course, since I just found it, its going to be a few months before it hits the stands, but my first issue will be #13. So buy it. I promise mind blowing colors that haven't been invented yet. I'm talking plaid and argile, MIXED.

Did you know the Phantom is credited as being the first costumed comic character? Yep. Zorro wore a mask, but Phantom did the full-body purple undies long before it was 'cool'. And another interesting fact is that he wasn't supposed to be purple. The writer envisioned him as gray, but some punk colorist decided purple would be better. The more you know...
