What is the secret Marc Deering project the Daily Press is referring to?
Right now, Deering is working on a prequel series that will complement one of this summer's major movies — he's not allowed to announce which one, yet. His portfolio also includes titles such as "Resident Evil" and "Supergirl," both published by DC Comics.
It's only been a few years since the 36-year-old has been working among the comic world's elite, although he's been drawing and inking the fanciful pages for decades.
"Something just switched in 2004, and everything got better," he says. "It wasn't a conscious thing, but something happened. And after that, I started to get noticed."
And, I'm only aware of Marc inking one issue of Supergirl: #26, April 2008. Any idea what panel he is referring to?
Although his subjects are often fanciful monsters and superheroes, he hones in on details such as the blades of grass in the background or the reflection of light in a car's hubcaps. And he's keenly aware of spacing and dimension.
"See how the outline around Supergirl's hair is thicker here," he says pointing to a panel of his Supergirl comic. "That means she is closer to us."
"The guy who drew her here just drew all of the lines the same thickness," he says, pointing to a different panel. "I guess that would be one of the big differences between me and other inkers."
