This was a huge project with writer Marcus Mébès, Jared Davis and Jeff Rester. I provide the covers and some interior art, as part of Tandy´s sketchbook. The book one was also illustrated by John Troutman.


 Cover colors by Marcus Mébès.



  Here is a description for BOOK ONE: "Ruth Plumly Thompson set up a grand adventure with her book CAPTAIN SALT IN OZ, but alas... that adventure was yet to be recorded. At last, The Royal Explorers of Oz, a new trilogy by Marcus Mebes, Jared Davis, and Jeff Rester, explores long forgotten lands and secrets hidden about the Nonestic Continent. What ever happened to the pirates of Pirate Island from L. Frank Baum's JOHN DOUGH AND THE CHERUB? How about Prince Bobo from RINKITINK IN OZ? What are the latest happenings in Ev, Ix, Mo, the Jalacasco Islands, and even Ozamaland? Well, put on your best pirate gear and join us for a rolicking adventure around the entire continent... and beyond!"

This was the first time that my drawings were published, in a book called Rats! and Other Frustration, by Marcus Mébes. 


This is a description of the book from Lulu.com, where you can get it:


"Here is a collection of three short stories and two poems by Marcus D. Mebes, featuring stunning art in "George Perez" style by Alejandro Garcia. From the "Twilight Zone"ish title story, to a fairy tale, to a surprising retelling of the "Beowulf" saga from the viewpoints of a Civil War soldier and a Caddo Indian, this collection is sure to bring enjoyment and provoke you to think hard about how people treat each other".

PRESENTATION

Teen Titans TM and © DC Comics

My name is Alejandro García, but everybody knows me as Alex. I´m originally from Montevideo, Uruguay, but have lived in Spain since 2003. I believe my passion for the Titans and George Pérez arrived the same day, when I read a Titan story for the first time, I think it was with "Assault on Titans Tower" story. I always liked super hero teams, and when I saw this new team, with teenagers (I was only familiar with Robin) it got my attention inmediately. What I liked most was the incredible art, so detailed....the page composition, the fighting sequences and the final moment....they were all great! After that, I wanted to have all the previous issues and the new ones. I remember running to the comic store every month to buy a new issue. It was so exiting read the New Teen Titans. And the stories were becoming more exiting month after month. It was the same with the art: Pérez improved with each issue to the point where we could perfectly distinguish the Titans without their masks. That was so incredible...no too many pencilleres are capable to do something like that these days.
With the Titans I discovered a great artist, all of whose work I follow, regardless of publishers, and I´m always looking to find out what his next work will be.

I´ve always enjoyed drawing and Perez´s art was an inspiration to me. I spent a lot of time scrutinizing his drawings and trying to imitate his style, buy obviously that is impossible. Pérez is always evolving and improving... it is impossible to match!


Ok, this is part of my interview to PACESETTER, THE GEORGE PEREZ MAGAZINE #11, produced and edited by my friend Marcus Mébes.

With this blog I like to share my passion for comics, super-heros and George Pérez, whom I thank for all the inspiration.
