Rustling Husk
A Rustling Husk from the comic book series "Xombi" written by my good friend John Rozum and illustrated by J.J. Birch.
What can I say, I'm not sure that I have accurately captured the menace these creatures exude during their appearance in "Xombi" but maybe he was in more of a pensive mood for portrait day.
If you haven't read "Xombi" you need to do yourself a favor and track it down. Unfortunately DC comics has sat on their collective asses and haven't collected it into a trade-paperback (Same can be said for John's "Midnight Mass.) but you can still find complete runs easily and cheaply enough on eBay.
Speaking of John Rozum, with any luck he will be making a rare public appearance this Saturday, May 20th at the Motor City Comic Con in Novi, Michigan. John will be appearing and signing at the Wonderworld Comics table from around 1 - 4 p.m.. Be sure to look him up, and who knows... you might even see yours truly lurking about.

This exudes the sort of eerie beauty I comb books and art for and find only rarely.
I have a sketchbook full of drawings of characters from XOMBI by such artists as Dave McKean, Mike Mignola, Adam Hughes, John Paul Leon, Jaime Hernandez, Michael Avon Oeming,Bernie Wrightson, Timothy Bradstreet, and many others, and this is not only one of my favorites, but one of the best.
Don't go getting a swelled head or nothing, though.
