Darwyn Cooke at MegaCon

Adam Koford | March 10th, 2008

As requested, here’s a clip of Darwyn Cooke working on a drawing of Wonder Woman at MegaCon yesterday. Cooke is as nice as you’ve heard and was gracious enough to let me film him. And, since I know someone will ask, he uses Faber Castell PITT pens.

If you haven’t already, check out the animated adaptation of his epic miniseries New Frontier.

It was a great convention and I met lots of stellar artists including Joe Bluhm, Art Baltazar, Joel Carroll, and more. I’ll post more about them (and others) as the week progresses.

  • Nice. You can't spell Darwyn without "Drawn!"
  • Nice. Not getting music here - maybe just my headphones?
  • Good one, Pat. And true!

    Part Jack Kirby, part Bruce Timm, all-around genius artist! It's great to see him in action.

    I have all 6 issues of NEW FRONTIER (I may get the TPBs, but the individual covers are really cool), and I still think it's the single best thing DC Comics has done in recent years. Sort of DC Comics meets THE INCREDIBLES! It's a fresh escape from most of the other tasteless comics they've been doing.

    And yes, I got the new animated version (2-Disc Edition) Saturday! If you're familiar with the comic, the story is VERY truncated, but still remarkably faithful to its source material. I recommend it.
  • I read the comics in two paperback collections. Darwyn's mastery of the DC universe and retro style charmed my cowl off. One day in Borders, I saw an amazing single volume, oversized collection of New Frontier. It was shrink wrapped so i couldn't peek inside. I'm still dreaming of owning that but maybe i'll check out these dvds, too.
