As he watched the world burn, he couldn't help but laugh. The chuckle grew, then turned to a choked and gasping seizure. His view of apocalypse blurred by tears, he convulsed in mirth, until finally he could say just one thing, "Previously known as: feelmydragonballs."

Dr. McNinja Art Sale THE RETURN

After finding what I thought was a lost collection of pages sent back to me from a gallery exhibit, I am happy to do one more art sale, with prices set to moooove! The last batch of pages I put up sold out in about a day, so I have many more this time around to give you a chance to buy one if you missed out last time. Click through to see the whole list.

100% Original Character (Do Not Steal) Donald McBonald uses his mime powers. - $45

This one just looks cool in black and white! Also, Grimace De Milo in panel 5, pretty good joke.

Dr. McNinja and Ben Franklin recreate Thriller. - $45

Zombie ninjas surround Dr. McNinja and Ben Franklin and then GASP Ben Franklin becomes one of them too! - $45

Zombie Ben Franklin doing Thriller with zombie ninjas. Dr. McNinja plays the girlfriend. One of those scenes that really asserted to me "Yes, Chris, you can make comics about anything."

Dr. McNinja senses that his plane is flying over a pirate ship. -$45

Like most of these, I just think this page looks good in person. It also leads into what I think is one of the better bits about the ninja/pirate rivalry.

Dr. McNinja talks to Dracula. - $45

There's some fun acting between Doc and Drac here, but the big thing for me is that last panel, which I always saw as the iconic shot of Dr. McNinja. His sword is sticking out of a bad guy while he's apologizing and taking the dudes’ heartbeat.

Gordito pretends to like Mitzi McNInja’s disgusting beets. -$45

Just got some good faces to look at on the original art here. A fun Gordito moment!

Dr. McNinja hides under a carriage to Dracula's castle. -$45

I'm basically recreating the beginning of DRACULA (1931) because I thought the old lady who was scared of Dracula was so funny. What that means is I was paying more attention than usual to a black and white balance and that means a page that looks good on it's own without any of the digital stuff.

Dr. McNinja tricks Dracula into punching a mirror. - $45

Ha ha, stupid king of vampires.

The possessed Sean McNinja fights his family. -$45

Magical flames! Hugs! THIS page has it ALL.

A zombie ninja bites an astronaut at a gas station. - $45

This remains one of my favorite exercises in revealing context to make a situation more and more absurd. First panel (aside from the end of the previous scene with Gordito): Zombie bite. Second panel, the zombie is biting an astronaut. Third panel. It's at a Sheetz gas station, and nobody cares.

Gordito reveals his origin. -$45

It's a cool looking page.

Dr. McNinja makes a run for Dracula's castle. -$45

This is just a nice sequence with a lot of acting and movement. It's 10 panels, and let me tell you, I don't normally torture myself like that.

Dracula throws Ben Franklin's head into space. - $45

Lotta ink on this bad boy! Looks nice. REAL nice.

Dracula makes the ghost wizard possess Sean McNinja - $45

10 panels of everything I love to draw.

King Radical goads Dr. McNinja into a car chase - $45

Fun fact! This car chase is accurately mapped to the real streets of Cumberland Maryland, and you can recreate it, all the way up to when they drive off the bridge! (Don’t drive off a bridge)

Chuck Goodrich tells McNinja a scary story. - $45

This is one of the last pages I inked by hand before going digital, and one of the best.

Frans Rayner fights an army of clones - $45

Pretty.

Dr. McNinja chases King Radical, but this time he has a magical motorcycle - $45

A LESS accurate chase through Cumberland, but not entirely wrong either. (Please do not be a sniper on the church roof.)

Dr. McNinja is bothered by evil gophers. - $45

It's a simple, clear sequence with some nice drawings of Dr. McNinja. And I don’t care what your parents say, that's what you want in some original artwork.

Dan McNinja gets mad at a pirate on the phone. -$45

A bunch of fun faces on this one.

Frans Rayner taunts Dr. McNinja and clone - $45

Ha ha, his face is so gross.

Dr. McNinja runs and hides from Frans. - $45

Your chance to own a carefully rendered close up of a man taking off his tie.

Dr. McNinja and his clone talk about a weird meeting. - $45

Ha ha, the big stupid ninja was disguised as a tree.

McNinja clones beat up Frans - $45

With a cameo from Death, himself! Place this art anywhere in your home you’d like to see Death waving to you.

Dr. McNinja and King Radical ride bikes through a cave. - $45

And there’s a weird time monster! Yuck!

Dr. McNinja plays tennis against an ancient robot. -$45

And he is AWFUL at it.

Marty throws an exploding barrels and then yells. -$45

This beautiful giant naked man can be YOURS for only $45 plus shipping.

King Radical throws a dirt bike into a tree. - $45

I love when King Radical is a jerk.

King Radical jumps his bike off a van, then Dr. McNinja just drives straight through that van - $45

Another rough night in Cumberland for VAN MAN.

Dan and Mitzi train the boys to fight the ghost wizard. -$45

I love that Dan hires a street magician to train the kids in detecting illusions, and then chases them with a flame thrower. All in a day of training!

Check out the full listing here. There are also signed and sketched books for sale! Thank you!

Two of these are still available!

Judy’s First Appearance - $100

Hitting Chuck Goodrich With the Car - $45

Dr. McNinja Original Art Sale

It’s been about a year since I’ve ended The Adventures of Dr. McNinja, and last night I went through some old pages and picked out a few favorite moments I thought would be nice to sell (because APPARENTLY I can’t pay rent with a stack of bristol in my closet.)

In the past when all of the original art was for sale, pages were priced at $90, but today I have SLASHED that to $45 for this special collection. Here are the pages. Click through to the sale page to see the original artwork.

DR. MCNINJA GETS DRUNK WITH A PIRATE - $45 - SOLD

I remember enjoying the drawing of this page so much, I asked Kent to let me ink the faces, which is looking back, incredibly selfish and silly. But you can see there’s a lot of acting in this page with drunky ninja, and you don’t really need the dialogue to understand what’s going on, which makes it ideal for displaying.

See the unlettered art here.

NINJA TRICKS - $45 - SOLD

This is one of my favorite moments of the series because it does several things at once. It’s funny, with Dan McNinja explaining that he just magically stuffs food in his mouth to avoid taking off his mask even a little. It sets up a stupid hand-wavey justification, so anytime I wanted the ninjas to get away with any shenanigans, someone can just say “Ninja tricks!” and that’s the end of it. And… it sets up the ending I knew I would pull the trigger on some day, with Dr. McNinja just taking off his mask and disappearing into anonymity.

See the unlettered and non-shaded art here. SOLD

DR. MCNINJA IS CHASED BY A BUNCH OF GHOSTS - $45 SOLD

This one is still just cool to look at. There’s a bunch of ghosts chasing Dr. McNinja, and he’s scaling an airplane in flight to get away from them. Have fun explaining it to your guests.

See the unlettered and non-shaded art here. (SOLD)

GORDITO DOESN’T GET TO COME ALONG -$45 - SOLD

I like this one because it’s a funny little character moment for poor Gordito, who I had no plans for inside of the tennis temple, and I had to just say “Yeah, you’re in the B plot for this one, sorry.” You can tell what’s happening without the dialogue, and like I said, that’s what I like in the comic art I have displayed in MY house.

See the unlettered, black and white art here. SOLD

DR. MCNINJA DREAMS OF STEPPING IN UNICORN POO - $45 - SOLD

I love drawing dream sequences, because its an excuse to mess with the medium, which we’ve done here by making the trees of the dream forest into the actual panel borders. It looks particularly striking in the original black and white.

See it here. SOLD

MCNINJA HAS A HAPPY DAY - $45 - SOLD

This is one of those pages I loved to make because it got to jump around the pieces that make McNinja who he is - he’s training Gordito in martial arts through his weirdo brand of science, he’s happily dealing with a patient with a real and normal medical condition, and there’s the quick nod to the gorilla receptionist, who did not get explained for a very long time. Also there’s a unicorn.

But mostly I just enjoy McNinja’s gleeful expressions until he is finally horrified by a body in the street.

See the unlettered black and white version here.

KING RADICAL IS A JERK - $45 - SOLD

This is one of those pages that really sums up a relationship. King Radical respects McNinja, but… he’s still got be himself, you know! And that self is the most radical man in the radical lands. And a twerp.

This page also features a king on a dirt bike kicking a raptor, which is neat.

See the unlettered black and white version here. SOLD

DR. MCNINJA AND HIS CLONE MEET MORE CLONES - $45 - SOLD

Story wise, this page is the start of the big turn in Army of One. Normally we’d assume that clone army was designed to beat Dr. McNinja by forcing him to fight an impossible to defeat larger number of himself. But if they’re all clones… then they wouldn’t WANT to fight him! And Frans knew that, and it was part of the plan. If you’ve read Gwenpool, you know I like to mess with genre tropes, and this is one of the larger examples of that in Dr. McNinja.

Also it looks good in black and white, which is why I’m selling it. See it here.

FRANS RAYNER PUNCHES MCNINJA IN THE FACE - $45 - SOLD

And here’s where Frans explains the plan. Again, just a nice looking page! This was near the end of Kent’s run as our inker, and he’s doing some of his best work.

See the unlettered black and white art here.

YOU HIT THE MAYOR - $45

After a bit of inking warmup on “Judy Gets a Kitten”, this page is probably the first where I start to feel comfortable and good with my own inking, and you can see the style of the comic start to change. I drew this on expensive paper with an expensive brush, and the thick, dark, expensive ink looks excellent in person.

See the unlettered black and white art here.

DAN KICKS APART A ROCKET CHEETAH - $45 - SOLD

It’s not too long after this page that I stopped working on paper, finding that Manga Studio just made everything so much easier.

Again, this is one that just looks good in person with nice inks. See it here.

FINALLY, A COUPLE OF SPECIAL FULL PRICE PAGES

JUDY’S FIRST APPEARANCE - $100

First off, considering how much original art I’ve sold over the years of making this comic, I cannot believe I still have this one. Besides being the first appearance of Judy, with some excellent fur work from Kent, there are a few interesting things about this page.

1) I redrew the kid and replaced him digitally, because well… he didn’t really look like a kid at first. The art has the original version.

2) This was originally homework I did at the School of Visual Arts, and on the original page, you can see it was graded a B+ from my professor, Walter Simonson.

See the unlettered original version here.

THE VERY FIRST PAGE OF DR. MCNINJA - $100 - SOLD

It’s the first page of the comic! A collectors item! Get it out of my house.

I will say this page represents when I was first really finding my voice, and it was a thrilling time for me. I was discovering that I could make comics however I wanted, and prior to this, I wasn’t really doing much in terms of comedy. A cheeseburger mayor fountain was hilarious to me, and you know what? It still is.

See the unlettered art here. SOLD

Thank you for taking a look at this collection of art, and I hope you consider taking some home with you! I’ve also got some signed books for sale on my eBay page as well. Happy New Year!
