Looking forward to my trip to Austin TX. Presenting COMICS & CULTURE at the Blanton Museum of Art on Saturday. Already mapped out my itinerary: Austin Books & Comics, Whataburger and the local theater to catch Spider-Man...and stay out of that Texas heat!

Decided to color my MUERTOS OF THE UNIVERSE artwork. I guess the next logical step would be to make some prints...?🤔

Javier Hernandez @javierhernandez.bsky.social · 28/05/2026

As with our previous THE MAN FROM MICTLAN crowdfunding campaign, we'll have a few original art option Rewards. 11" x 17" illustrations, inked on a sheet of Bristol paper. This one we could only call "Muertos of the Universe"!

Another Reward for the upcoming THE MAN FROM MICTLAN Kickstarter. A trio of 2" x 3" stickers.

For the upcoming Kickstarter for THE MAN FROM MICTLAN #2 I'll have a new 4 print set. Printed on glossy cardstock, like the previous set.

Ok, had a slowdown around here the last 3 weeks, but I can report that I have inked the last page of the pile of 58 pages comprising THE MAN FROM MICTLAN #2. I still need to ink about 5 panels spread over 5 pages, then I can scan the whole batch and begin lettering the comic.

Inking a page allows you to spend a lot of time with the characters...

On to book #3: MOONRAKER (1955). James Bond must thwart a nuclear missile from striking the heart of London. Fay Dalton once more provides great illustrations for this @foliosociety.bsky.social edition.

Just finished reading LIVE AND LET DIE. Before jumping in to MOONRAKER gonna squeeze in this little paperback: SAVING GRACE, a novel written by filmmaker Ed Wood back in 1975. This new edition was published in December 2024. Can't believe I hadn't heard of this for over a year!

A friend sent me this pic. For a minute I was like "Whoa..badass!".... then I realized I drew it for him in 2018!

In one of my classes this semester I'm having the students do a one page comic on someone they admire/look up to. As an example I drew up this Steve Ditko comic which I'll be showing them in the next class. Coincidentally the title of the comic echoes the opening line of ATLAS SHRUGGED...

Started reading the second James Bond novel LIVE AND LET DIE (1954). Fleming takes Bond to Harlem and the Caribbean to do battle with gangster and Soviet agent Mr. Big.

Not exactly sure why, but on January 13, 2024 I came up with an idea for Zonkey Muerto! Partly inspired by the infamous Zebra Batman, perhaps this was an alternate reality Muerto based in Tijuana, MX. I really don't remember. We'll see if he ever turns up in a story....

Maybe it’s just me, but I think this panel would make a cool t-shirt !

CREATING COPRA by @michelfiffe.bsky.social . In it he shares his process behind his self-published comic series Copra, which he launched over 10 years ago. Michel started out with a monthly schedule and maintained it every since. No small feat considering he was producing a colored comic.

Thanks for the invite @crewylou.bsky.social ! This platform doesn't seem to allow private messages, though....
