Actually, it’s just the end of this sketchbook. We’ll see Max again someday.

Meet Mister Zero
Also known as The Blank, Mr. Nobody, Mr. Kleen, and probably a few other names I don’t remember. He’s a villainous sort that’s been kicking around my imagination for at least two and a half decades. He was probably inspired by me seeing a drawing of The Question but, honestly, I don’t recall where the character came from.
Who Knows What Evil Lurks?
Once I’d done Doc Savage as a priest the next obvious character to mess with is The Shadow. Most of what I know of the Shadow comes from the 1994 movie and the late 80’s DC comic. As such, I suspect that most of what I know about the character is wrong. Anyway, this sketch is the result of asking the question “What if the Shadow had gotten his mystical training in Egypt instead of Asia?”
The other two characters on the page are Fah Lo Suee and Fu Manchu. Just ’cause.
Father Wilde Will Save Us
Story ideas are every where. Most “new” ideas are found by simply looking at an older story through a new lens. This sketch is the result of looking at Doc Savage and wondering what kind of man Clark would have been if he’d taken up religion rather than science.
