The ANSWER is TOMORROW!
Inspect the Uninspected
Travis Richey who played Inspector Spacetime on Community brings the Inspector back in the remarkably similar but legally distinct guise of The Inspector in the Untitled Web Series About A Space Traveler Who Can Also Travel Through Time. Above is a wallpaper I made to help promote its web premiere on Monday, September 10.
Below is a handy image you can post on Facebook if you’d like to show your support for the show.

Not all the stuff I’ve done in Photoshop lately has been Doctor Who-related.
Atomic Batteries to Power…
I posted this one before but I thought I’d include it again here, if only to point out that if you click on the image to see the full-scale version you’ll see that I’ve cast Tor Johnson as a 1960s-era Bane. A neat trick given that the character wasn’t created until the early 90s.
“I do know when we need him, and we need him NOW!”
I’m a huge fan of the Adam West Batman series and decided I wanted the Bat Signal image from the end credits as my Facebook Timeline image, but the image wasn’t wide enough and didn’t crop well, so I rebuilt the thing and extended it horizontally to the correct size. Feel free to use this on Facebook yourself, but if you do give me some credit and link to my Blog and/or my Facebook page, won’t you?
And finally, I’m not a huge Chuck Norris fan, so this is likely my one and only contribution to the whole Chuck Norris meme zeitgeist, but for what it’s worth, here it is…
“C.I.A.!” Get it? GET IT???
I’ve recently made some goofy Doctor Who–inspired photo-manipulations and mash-ups for my Christopher Jones Comic Art Facebook page. If you don’t follow my page and haven’t seen them there (and why DON’T you follow that page? Give me a “like” for Pete’s sake!), I thought I’d post a few of them here.
Eggsquisite, isn’t it?
This was the first one, inspired by a gag in Asylum of the Daleks, the Doctor Who Series 7 opener. I’ve always loved Vincent Price as Egghead on the Adam West Batman series, and when the thought popped into my head, this seemed too fun not to visualize. And yes, that’s the Batman credits font I used in the piece.
Thank you for being a Timelord
Then I went kind of nuts and for no good reason did a photo manipulation of Betty White as the Third Doctor. There’s no real connection there, other than possibly the hair.
The Three Doctors – Hartnell Troughton & White
While I was looking for a good Betty White photo to use for that last one, I found a photo of her underlit, which inspired me to also work her into one of the Three Doctors publicity photos.
The Real Rule #1
I also slapped the following phrase on a found, otherwise unaltered image of Doctor Who writer/producer Steven Moffat on the set of Time Crash, the 10th Doctor/5th Doctor crossover that was done for charity. Because as often as the TV show reminds us that Rule #1 is “The Doctor lies,” the real Rule #1 would seem to be that Moffat lies about his plans for the show!
And finally, the second new Doctor Who episode of the season is titled Dinosaurs on a Spaceship, the title of course referencing the cult Samuel L. Jackson movie Snakes on a Plane, which inspired me to create this, which is probably my favorite of these photo-manipulations to date!
“I DARE you to say ‘Doctor WHO!'”
Even though it features two more masked heroes, this is another example of my non-comics work. I’m a huge Green Hornet fan, from the original radio show to the 1960s TV series and beyond. I even found a lot to enjoy in the recent Green Hornet movie, even though it was far from my ideal of a Green Hornet film. Have you seen this short Green Hornet fan film? It’s badass!
Anyway, I’ve had a couple of near-misses with getting to draw Green Hornet comic book properties, and hopefully some day that will yet come together. But in the mean time, there’s no reason I couldn’t go ahead and draw the character. This is the TV version of the Green Hornet, featuring Van Williams as the Hornet and the legendary Bruce Lee in his star-making role as Kato. The Hornet is depicted with his trusty gas gun, while Kato is shown taking out a pack of thugs bare handed. And of course no tribute to the Green Hornet would be complete without the Hornet’s rolling arsenal: The Black Beauty!
This was a lot of fun to do, and I’d still love to draw a Green Hornet adventure one day!

I wanted to post some more of my non-comics work. Here’s a print I did based on the film Re-Animator. I was already a fan of the film when I got to draw the official comic book adaptation for it back in the day. When I heard that the two stars of the film (Jeffrey Combs and Bruce Abbott) were coming to a local convention I thought the time was right to revisit the property and you can see the results here. I was really happy with how this turned out. Herbert West, the central character of the film, is most prominent with a ready syringe of his re-animating “re-agent.” The other main characters of the film surround him in a nightmarish montage in green: Dan Cain, Megan Halsey, Dr. Carl Hill and the much-suffering Dean Halsey. Oh, and Rufus. The cat. Also much-suffering.
I gave both actors a copy when I met them and got them to both sign my personal copy which now hangs on my wall. If only Barbara Crampton had been there so I could have gotten her signature, too!
