Great news to hear about your involvement with IDW's Star Trek books. You always deliver awesome work in the worlds of Trek, so I look forward to seeing your artistry on a new Trek adventure. I recognized the D.C. Fontana name from the ST:OS show. Wrote a couple of classic episodes too. Keep us informed!

thanks for the add, met you a couple of times. had you sign some Robin comics, some X-Files comics and do a sketch. I will have to check out the JSA classified story. so many comics so little time.

The nicest thing about JLU stories--they're done in one for $2.25! Best deal in comics!

RE: Hey--here's a nice Silver Bullet review for JLU 34 (out this week!)

This one's definitely on my to buy list this week, Gordon. I love the JLU comic. This title is one of the most fun comics out there.

Good to see your work up, Gordon! Best always!

The only thing about the gallery is I could only use art from my photo section--my scans seem to be too large!

[ Posted by MarkAxlerEllis on Jan 23rd, 2007 12:10 PM ]...

Yeah, I remembered you won something, I just couldn't remember what...my wife Melissa had the TV on and I was just half-listening when I heard you identify yourself and I thought, "Hey, that name sounds familiar..."

So I hung around to hear the rest.

Good for you!

Hi, Gordon...I've been a big admirer of your art for a number of years. When are you gonna call in to Regis and Kelly again?

Oh, they have to call you. It was an internet contest. And it was so long ago that Reeg didn't have a regular co-host (I talked to the cute sister from ONE DAY AT A TIME!) Won a big trip to Cancun!

Hey Gordon! Good to see you here. I hope you're doing well!

Happy to do so--you designed one of the first DC covers I drew (FLASH 23). Hope all is well there!

Happy New Year!

You've worked on quite a few of my favorite comics. Keep on going strong.

Fantasy football is over until the playoffs, so long as someone is running a playoff league this year. My team in my other league didn't do very well, while I was very happy with the guys on my team in our league, but things just didn't work out. That's fantasy football, though. How 'bout you?

I got my money back in both leagues. Lost the championship in Dan's by 5 points. Pretty good for me!

Wicked!

It is pretty cool--got to draw everyone from Wildcat to Creeper by the end!
How's that Fantasy football going?

[ Posted by Dwayne_McDuffie on Dec 27th, 2006 1:31 PM ]...

Hey! just saw you over on my page and wanted to say "Hi!" It was a blast doing that JLA story with you back in the day. Glad to see you're still associated with Justice League!

You're the best Dwayne!
Nice thing about the JLU is that you get to draw almost everyone in the DCU--and the stories have been well written! Reflects the show well.

[ Posted by gordonpurcell on Dec 23rd, 2006 9:43 AM ]...

Just to keep everyone updated, I just finsihed JUSTICE LEAGUE UNLIMITED 34 for DC--a fun story with General Zod and a lot of great DC cameos. I helped ink JLA CLASSIFIED 30-31 pages to help with a deadline crunch. I'm halfway through BIFF SPARTACUS 2 from Platinum (Biff battles vampire mosquitos!), started a Charles Darwin bio for Capstone, and have some Denver Broncos for Kids pages and an issue of GARGOYLES for Slave Labor in January to work on.
It's been a fun year and I'm looking forward to a sweeter '07. Happy holidays everyone!

Greetings oh Great Trivia Whiz!

You'll get the hang of this as time goes on, Gordo, my friend! I have hopes of the place being useful down the road. Right now... not a bad start-up for contacts.
