poor machine man.

Mr. Pony said...

Yes. As I remember it, Machine Man goes to Tony Stark for help becoming a real live boy or something like that. Tony puts on the armor and beats the shit out of Machine Man. Classic misunderstanding-based super-hero battle, except in this case, Iron Man is totally drunk.

Sorry my covers are still kinda vanilla. I'm living out a very old fantasy, here.

Galspanic said...

When you say "vanilla" what do you mean? Like no cocks are exposed? Machine Man isn't mainlining heroin, or swearing? Please clarify.

Mr. Pony said...

Well, I guess that I'm hewing to the simplest interpretation of this assignment. I'm just unnaturally happy doing this. Here's a secret: sometimes when I'm drawing these covers I pretend the phone rings and it's Jim Shooter, yelling "Where is that cover, Pony? I need it yesterday!"

I think the martooni de-vanillises it slightly. Your covers are awesome though, usually way clearer and punchier in design than the originals.

Ruby Tenneco said...

P.S. You should probably just send it without waiting for Jim to call as it's now over 15 years late.

Fugu said...

Punchier indeed. I think you captured the pain of getting your bionic arm ripped off by Iron Man much better than the original. Plus, Iron Man looks a lot more drunker.

Ruby Tenneco said...

Hey, have you still got the issue, Mr. P? You could fill this in.

Mr. Pony said...

Done!

Mr. Pony said...

Reverted. U_U

Fugu said...

AW. Did you screen shot it first at least?

Mr. Pony said...

It's a wiki! They keep old edits. Can't believe they reverted it to nothing, though. Mean!
