Here's a sample page from the second issue of The Uniques, the creator-owned superhero comic written, drawn and colored by me and my wife

This page is the first meeting between Telepath and Motherboard (who are putting this new super-team together) and Scout (doing his stealthy 'out of the shadows' thing).

Besides sharing pencilling with Comfort, The background colors and textures are my job on this book, and this page was a real workout. The challenge was to set a light-source that could create shadows deep enough that Scout could hide in and dissappear.

Since we don't ink, we don't use absolute blacks. Instead, we use chromatic shadows. We personally like the effect more for our book, but it does make some stuff difficult. If we were doing this the traditional way, it would have just been a black shadow with Scout's white eyes peering out. Instead, I had to find a way to use light and shade in our color to make the same sort of effect. I like it, but I'm biased
