BLACK BEETLE by Andy Kuhn

This weeks character is Francesco Francavilla's
awesome pulp style hero Black Beetle.
My version is from Black Beetle the animated series.
I'm sure this show is gonna happen as soon as hollywood
finds out about this super-cool character.
Cheers to you Francesco!

BB look badass! Love the style, the shot, and you even included the famous Colt City's Zeppellins :D
Nathan "electric" colors are a wonderful touch. Thank you both, guys :)

Cheers,
Francesco

This is great, Andy! It's one of those deceptively simple drawings that has everything it needs to succeed and no more. The colors are just the cherry on top. Hope you don't mind!
