Charlie Chaplin's corpse....

... was stolen by a small group of Swiss people on March 1, 1978. The dorks tried to blackmail Chaplin’s family. Naturally, this plan didn’t work. The perpetrators were caught, and Charlie’s body was found 11 weeks later near Lake Geneva. He was buried under concrete to prevent further incidents. This brush pen & ink illustration was created for the Berlin magazine ZITTY in 1999.

The Black Bat - Bloodmoney

After 30 years of retirement the old Pulp Hero the "Black Bat" returns with a new novel, conceived by Superfan Nico Mathies. He hired me to do the first cover and I'm currently working on the second for a new novel. The Black Bat was around even before Bob Kane's Batman, first published in the legendary pulp "Black Book Detective" between 1939 -1951. He was revived later in England and Germany under the title "Die Schwarze Fledermaus".

Here is the original illustration:

And here is what the publisher did with it (a lackluster job if you ask me...):

Watch out for the next one coming soon!
