Periplanta americana
Isn’t it just disgusting? Just LOOK at that bastard!
That Kal-Drak’s a Swell Guy
Kal-Drak is back in a dimension near you to EXTERMINATE some periplanta thorax! Some say that he basques in the notes of Chopin while he roasts the poor bastards.

Enter Kal-Drak
Dr. Carlos “Ace” Folgar says:
Challengers!
Last time we met, the world was on the brink of chaos! Luckily, our collective minds have staved off devastation this time, BUT… our duty isn’t over yet!
As we discussed at the last meeting, the show will incorporate a loose narrative in the form of an outside character traveling across different dimensions. The different dimensions will be our own distinctive art styles. This character, Kal-Drak the Challenger, is a “Kirby-esque” (that’s Jack “THE KING” Kirby!) explorer engaged in the limitless possibilities comics have to offer as an art form. Attached is how I envisioned the character (let’s see how you envision him!).
Please, continue to explore the ideas you want to express in your artwork. Do not feel bogged down by this narrative. It’s just a means to connect everything without being to restrictive. If anything, Kal-Drak’s presence should enhance the experience for the viewer, since he will serve as a guide through an often misunderstood medium. Now, it’s not that the character’s aware he’s in a comic book, that’s something our comic-inspired artwork should already communicate on its own. Again, you may or may not incorporate Kal-Drak in your individual piece. That’s entirely up to you!
