Stopped in at Atomic Tiki in Small Press (L-01) at #SDCC and spoke with Steve Bryant and raved about his Shaken and Stirred Graphic novel he put out on Kickstarter. He also had a exclusive cover for his Athena Voltaire Summer Special which I jumped out. Very cool and awesome dude to chat with.

Sidetrack from #NCBD a couple weeks ago... This book is f'n gorgeous. Nice story and Jae's art...holy shnikies. Just plain f'n gorgeous. M1: Monster Racing League #2 ✍️ Robert and Lily Windom 📔👨🏻‍🎨, 👨🏻‍🎨 Jae lee 🎨 June Chung 🔠 Joe Sabino 📔B Charles Vess

A close-up of Monster Racing League #2 published by Image Comics and displayed against a black cutting mat with a white measurement grid visible around the edges. The cover features a striking turquoise-blue background with the large white “MRL” logo and “Monster Racing League” title across the top. Creator credits for Lilly & Robert Windom and Jae Lee & June Chung appear above the logo. The central artwork shows a large red dragon-like creature formed from swirling flame and smoke, with curved horns, sharp teeth, and an open mouth. Emerging from the fiery shape is a driver in a streamlined racing suit and helmet. Below, the front wheel and nose of a sleek black-and-gold racing vehicle cut through white spray and scattered rocks, creating a sense of speed and impact. By Jae Lee. A close-up of a variant cover of issue #2 of M1: Monster Racing League by Charles Vess. It is displayed on a black cutting mat with a white measurement grid visible along the edges. The artwork uses a combination of warm reds, oranges, and cream tones against a mostly white background. At the center, an elongated organic form rises vertically like a twisting tree, plume of smoke, or dragon-shaped flame. Near the base, a curled figure with long flowing hair sits in a compact pose, wearing a golden-orange garment marked with bold black patterns. A small dark-colored cat is perched nearby on a branching tendril-like shape extending from the figure's side. Above the seated figure, the organic form expands into swirling, dragon-like contours with flowing tendrils and wisps that blend into a cloud of reddish-orange watercolor. A signature and date, “C. Vess ’26,” appear in the lower-left corner.
