On your left is a sketch that Rick Veitch had done for me back in the Comics Route days, circa 1993/94. Maximortal was Rick’s current project at the time, and a huge seller for Comics Route. Rick hadn’t done any signings or events with me at that point, but would every once and a while wander down into Manchester from his home high in the mountains of West Townshend, VT and do a little comics shopping. One day, I’d managed to talk him into doing this reworking of the Maximortal image with the addition of Swamp Thing. More Veitch images to come in the future…
