Best bud John Hartwell has taken up the challenge and agreed to try doing up a Sketch of the Week every Friday. You can find his artistic postings on Facebook right here every Friday.

He’s also posted a challenge:

Alright, time for a little geek trivia with the Sketch of the Week. First person to identify this old school Marvel character gets…well…a hearty slap on the back and a bucket o’ geek pride.

Yeah. This color thing is hard. Black and white lineart after the jump.

Lightstar is VERY excited to meet you

For those of you lucky enough to have missed out on 1990’s-era super-hero propaganda, I can now sum up the entire experience with this following image from a free comic book promoting an exciting Saturday morning cartoon* and toy tie-in on CBS featuring a super-powered children’s super-hero character with gigantic metal spikes for nipples that stick out of a skull’s eye sockets:
