Author/Sharp Cover (abandoned page)

This was my first attempt at relaunching the continuity. Too serious, too dark. I got two pages into this when I had to hit myself and realize that Ace was originally designed to parody self-insert characters like the Author from Bob and George and decided to approach the series from a different angle. You'll notice that I use a much brighter palette in the current continuity.

I was just experimenting with those monster things, since I had never done color work to any large extent.
