I'm a huge Dan DeCarlo fan and if you know his work you can see why. One of my favorite DeCarlo characters is that "high school sweetheart of the future", Jetta. Who is Jetta you ask? Well you're about to find out. A mountain of gratitude goes to Craig Yoe for compiling, for the very first time, the entire Jetta comic book run in one retro futuristic edition.
And I got to be a part of it! In Pin-up form that is.
Here's my contribution to the book:
And the study (not in the book, I don't think)
The book has a ton of other awesome Pin-ups, like these for instance:
Craig McCracken, Jenny Lerew, Justin Ridge, and Katie Rice respectively (Katie's is genius btw).

ReplyDeleteFantastic job Bill. I'm a big DeCarlo fan so I'm jealous that you got to be in the book. I'm looking forward to seeing how the book came out. The version that came out a few years back had pretty bad reproduction.
