"Dirty Work!" 5-Page 2012 Comic Book Story! The Original Art!

Below are my five pages for a great new one-shot anthology comic book, ALIENS AMONG US, from Elevator Pitch Press! This story, "Dirty Work," was a tense tale, written by Bret Bernal, and it involves two exterminators, out to take on the task of chasing pests out of a deserted old hulk of a house, only to find that one of them is the real vermin! A fun and frightful comic story, pencilled and inked by me in 2012! All art copyright Bret Bernal and Al Bigley. Click each page below to enlarge!



Below: In that first panel, I wanted our two main characters to be 
humbled by the looming old house...





Below: I based the finally-revealed aliens on a weird mix of spiders and guinea pigs!





Below: The scripted, published pages, as they appeared in ALIENS AMONG US!

Here is my cover art for an exciting new comics publisher! This is the front image for WAR GUARD #1, from a group called Advent Comics! It's a great good vs. evil far-reaching adventure, and, in creating this cover art,  I had great fun playing with the various characters that populate the series! Click below to enlarge!

More DC UNIVERSE Sketchcards! Batman! Green Lantern! Joker!

Here are scans of some of my hand-drawn trading cards, as seen in the DC UNIVERSE set! These "artist's cards" were inserted into boxes as one-of-a-kind incentives to buy the sets! I rendered these using pencils, inks, and colored pencils! It was great to draw some of the more unusual DC characters, such as Martian Manhunter, Hawkman, and Mary Marvel!
