Thor vs. The Sandman






Last summer, with about 2 weeks to go before Comic-Con, my friend Caleb Monroe generously offered to write a 5-page comic script if it would help me create some sample work for my portfolio. When I agreed, he suggested that it focus on two popular characters, one from  the stables of DC and one from Marvel. I picked Neil Gaiman's The Sandman and The Mighty Thor.  An odd combination, to be sure, but I thought, "That'll be a challenge."
I had no idea that he'd deliver something so poetic, almost lyrical. There's no dialogue, no colors, no onomatopoetic sound effects; I did my best to bring this lovely little story to life, and I hope you like the results.
