Yes, I drew Speedball, absolutely no one's favourite character. I'm not sure why, really. Speedball was a character that launched in the early 90s by which Marvel comics seemed to be attempting to recapture the magic of Spiderman with a flawed, teenage character. His super powers were almost secondary to his personal life and problems. Me, I was just on the lookout for new characters and new #1 issues that would one day be worth a mint (wishful thinking, lol).
I guess I'm just really entertained when I read Marvel comics these days and see that Speedball is still bouncing around the universe with his wacky powers and colours. In core concept, he's a lighthearted character, but over the years he's been to some dark places in the Marvel universe. As it turns out, he's REALLY fun to draw. And, I have to say, I'm really pleased how this has turned out so far. I feel like the perspective and odd angle is working and I've managed to capture the more innocent years of this character's life and personality.
