I have never, ever played any Pokémon video games, or card games. Every now and then watched the anime in The WB!, but not faithfully. This week, I decided to take on a new obsession, so here I am, watching the anime from the very beginning, one per day. Let's see how far I get. 5 so far.

The JLA Pantheon, with Mr. Howard Porter. (And Mark Waid also had some fantastic episodes in between).

Not only it is terrible losing Peter David, but also realizing the conditions in which he passed. May he rest in peace.

I don't give this plate all the attention and adoration it deserves, so here I am, showcasing it for you all! #DCComics #JusticeLeague #Vintage #Collectibles

One of two flashback panels in Chapter 9 of my upcoming Zine. To enforce the idea that this happened in the past, I have been playing with some special effects. I really like this one, because it looks almost like a portrait. #DCComics #Aquaman #Batman #BlackManta #ToyPhotography #Lego #Krita

One more little cleanup project using #Krita. This time, three panels from The Flash #256 (Oct 1977). The artwork is by Rich Buckler, Jack Abel, and Tatjana Wood. Still have to figure out how not to lose some of the tiny linework details during the removal of the dirt. #DCComics #TheFlash #Rogues

Cleaned up this Legion ad using #Krita to remove the "schmutz" and even out the colors, which are mostly the original (notice Saturn Girl at the upper left corner). I did replace the tiny cover in the center with an actual photo of the actual book (issue #263). Still learning. #LegionOfSuperHeroes

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms! ✨Queen Hippolyta and her daughter by Terry Dodson and Rachel Dodson. #DCComics #WonderWoman #MothersDay

Professor Toshio Eto patterned his crime-fighting persona after the heroes he admired most: The Samurai warriors of ancient Japan. Guided by their ancient code of honor, #Samurai is a role model and member of the Super Friends in their crusade against evil. 風のように早く #SuperFriends #AAPIHeritageMonth

An amazing and quite creative celebration of Countdown to Final Crisis' 18th anniversary. #DCComics #Countdown #FinalCrisis

Superman tin mini-bucket. It came out around the time of the "Superman Returns" movie (circa2006). #DCComics #Superman #Collectibles

Some of the mock-up covers I have designed and am planning to include along the 20 pages of story in the #Zine I'm putting together. First time I'm doing this... a lot to learn! #ToyPhotography #ActionFigures #Superman #GreenLantern #Batman #Hawkman #Hawkwoman #Brainiac #Vixen #FanZine

To those of you who celebrate, may the fourth be with you! Artwork by Alex Ross #DarthVader #StarWars #Superman #MayTheFourth

I gave the first pic a go. It came out so-so, but at one point one has to know when to stop. LOL! #DCComics #Superman #Eradicator #Krita

A close-up of the original and final panels. All the work was done in #Krita. #DCComics #Superman #ComicsCleanUp

A painstaking cleanup of a Superman panel from issue #353. Compare upper left panel (the original), to the upper right panel, (the final). All others are intermediate steps and color separations. I really like how it turned out, but not going to lie... the process was long. Lots to learn!

Follow this account, peeps! Artwork is awesome! #DCComics #Supergirl #SuperFamily

In honor of #NationalSuperHeroDay, here is Chapter 10 of my Photo-Comic. This completes 20 story pages, which I'm planning on putting together in a ✨ #Zine along with some extras. The story is not over, though... it's just beginning! #DCComics #GreenLantern #Mera #Vixen #WonderTwins #ToyPhotography

In preparation for the final chapter of my Fanzine/Photo-Comic, here is the cover for part 10, which is titled "Crimson Queen." An homage to the Justice League of America #261 cover by Luke McDonnell. #DCComics #Vixen #ToyPhotography #Fanzine #JusticeLeague

Clean up and re-touch of an old comic scan using Krita. #DCComics #Aqualad #Krita

Wonder Woman tin bank by the Tin Box Company. It features artwork by José Luis García-López. I wouldn't necessarily call it vintage, but I did buy it about 15 years ago. #DCComics #WonderWoman #TinBox #Collectibles

This is the ⭐ Power Girl ⭐ Kara Zor-L ⭐ Karen Starr ⭐ we deserve! #DCComics #PowerGirl #EarthTwo

Still experimenting with different techniques to re-touch old comics. This time I used Inkscape to create a vector image of the line work. Then, used Krita to fill out, but instead of colors, used textures. #DCComics #KidFlash #InkScape #Krita

Hands down, the Super Friends! #CartoonLinens #80sCartoons #DCComics #SuperFriends

This is a 75% sized #Hallmark replica of 1973's Super Friends lunchbox. It also features Catwoman, Joker, Pengiun, and Riddler on the sides. The artwork is not the original, but it is very nicely done. Each #lunchbox came with a mini-certificate and unique serial number. #DCComics #SuperFriends

Very few people strike the right note with Barda. Javier Rodríguez understood the assignment!!! #DCComics #NewGods #BigBarda #JLA #Barda

The satellite-era Justice League will always be my all-time favorite, but the pantheon will always be right next. What a powerful line-up, and what amazing stories! #DCComics #JLA #JusticeLeague

87 years of Action Comics Happy Superman Day! Artwork by Francis Manapul #DCComics #Superman #SupermanDay #LoisLane

Batman and Aquaman team-up to salvage the sunk Batwing, and along the way reminisce some good old times. Chapter 9 of my Photo Comic is a follow-up to Chapter 4. #DCComics #ToyPhotography #Batman #Aquaman #BlackManta #TheBraveAndTheBold #ActionFigures

One of the oldest action figures I own, the 1995 "Legends Of #Batman" Flightpak figure is a "Deluxe" release with a "Battle Metallic Armor Jet Wing," which I no longer have 🥺. It was pretty cool, because it made him look like the batplane. It also came with a card, that I still have. #ActionFigures

This is the first Avengers comic I ever owned. The story mainly features Cap and the Wasp, and a few other Avengers make a small cameo appearance. Nothing to write home about. Still, that cover by Ron Lim is AMAZING!!! #MarvelComics #Avengers #Wasp

I have not dropped any new covers in a while. This one is for "Showcase #105" which is the third chapter of my Photo Comic, featuring the Green Lantern Corps. #DCComics #GreenLantern #GreenLanternCorps #ToyPhotography #ActionFigures
