SCUD!

Back in the day one of my favorite comics was Scud: The Disposable Assassin. It was written and illustrated by Rob Schrab - one of the men behind the movie Monster House and the Sarah Silverman Program. The long and short of it is the comic was supposed to be concluded in issue 21. Well through a series of absurd happenings and unfortunate events (that can be found here) the series stopped with issue 20, leaving all the readers wondering how it all ended. Flash-forward 10 years to now and Rob decided to finish it and compile all the comics into one book. Fans rejoice. Well a few days ago he posted the cover art on his blog and I really liked it so I decided to make it into a desktop. After creating the cover desktop I decided to make a variant with just the main character - Scud. After all this I was pretty happy with how they turned out and figuring Rob was a cool guy, I felt he may like them too. I emailed them to him and that night I received a reply telling me how much he liked them and that he set one as his desktop. I got excited and geeked out a bit... prompting this post. Thanks for liking them Rob.

The artwork was done by Rob Schrab and the cover was colored by Jack Gray. The handguns in the background were also drawn by Rob. I took those elements and created the layout and design in photoshop. Hope you like them. Use the links above to download them.
