I just found out my buddy Joe Martino has Kidney cancer! He goes in for surgery on the 20th of October, I want to call upon artists to draw up some get well cards to send to him before he goes in, it would really be a great thing to see!

Or you can post the cards here so he can view them from his bed, It would be great to have artwork with his characters in the card, here is reference http://www.jgmcomics.com I'm going to start one now and post it up soon.

I really appreciate anyones participation, Joe has been a very good friend to me and I know there a lots of people out there who feel the same, Get well soon buddy!

Oh God. Joe, I can't draw much better than stick figures, but my prayers are with you.

(For those of you who might not be familiar with Joe's work, he's the creator of Shadowflame ~ also see here ~~> http://www.imwan.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=489 )

Let's sticky this so Joe can find some good wishes at the top of the board every time he visits.

Joe,
My drawing tweren't what it used to be, but in the immortal words of Mr. Spock, "Live long and prosper." Make sure you have lots of comics and DVDs around as you convalesce.

Thanks guys. I'm still around. I go into surgery on the 20th so I'll be around til then.

They caught it real early and by accident. So for bad news, it is good news. I have to get a rib removed as well. Not looking forward to that, but I am optimistic.

Thanks for all the good thoughts and well wishes. It's good to know there are people all over the world thinking of me.

Good luck, Joe. You'll be in my prayers.

Since they're taking a rib, does that mean they'll be creating a woman for you? They say doctors like "playing God"....

Best of luck, Joe.

JOE!
You said you are going into surgery the 20th. Did you mean the 30th? Whatever the case, best of luck to you.

Joe Martino · 23 Aug 2004

Thanks guys!

Joe, I had a lot of fun drawing these guys (I particularly like Rok, Shock and Barrel)! Of course, you can feel free to use this piece in any way you see fit! And, as always, if anybody wants to color it....

Darren · 03 Aug 2004

Ah! I see Frank is back at "work", so we should see more drawings soon?
