Monsters Attack Hollywood

This illustration was done as the basis for the cover of the extremely independent comic (i.e. not easy to find), "CAG West Coast Anthology #6".

CAG is an anagram for Comic Artists Guild and the theme for this particular book were stories all based within Las Angeles, that emotionally cold city that I and Hawanja call home. And because I'm not a big fan of this smoggy land, I had a trio of evil space monsters attack the Hollywood sign and then some!

Leading the trio of terror is the Cosmic Jerk of Destruction, a red cyborg and former fairy-tale giant that also serves as my Galactus homage. Joining him is Fu-Face, a very unpleasant, eat-anything alien lizard, and lastly Drippy the Unbelievable, the one-eyed slime-based beast who use to be the star of a now defunct alien circus. In the fleeing crowds below is a cameo from myself, the fat, Oni-looking dude opposite from the random hot blond babe, and if you look even closer in the fearful horde, Dr. Daisuke Serizawa (PHD) from the original "Godzilla, King of the Monsters" is there, looking heroically suicidal with his infamous invention the Oxygen Destroyer in tow.
