Mr. Silverfish

A terrifying tiny titan of terror. I dunno. I have this comic idea that I got about 1 page into featuring Silverfish, but it's hard to finish. Basically, the story goes, he climbs into a guy's nose and crawls around in his brain. Making him do stuff. Like eat books at work. And he has a really high pitched screachy voice.

Anyway, He's still got a cool little design. I should force myself to sit down one day and just do the comic. Or do it in 3-panel strip form. He's really more of a gag character for a dumb "extras" comic.

Oh yes, I'm half way done with the pencil work on my big secret project. Yay.

FYI, there is a comic titled SILVERFISH (about the insects - SilverfishGallery.com). Additionally, Bob Burden (of Flaming Carrot fame) has a character called Silverfish. Just a heads up in case you were intending to publish your silverfish comic - wouldn't want you to run into any legal hassles.

Thanks, I was suprised when I went by the Comic Stop and they had a big book titled: Silverfish. But I hadn't taken this idea too seriously. I guess if I did, I could just add an adjective to the front of his name and it'd be completely new.

Yeah, that was David Lapham's project with DC Comics. We had quite a discussion with them re: copyright issues before that book came out.

Best of luck with your work.
