Today in Comics History, January 6: Happy birthday, Hugh Haynes!

Born on this day: comics penciller Hugh Haynes, who's worked on Nexus, Mars Attacks, Alpha Flight, Marvel Comics Presents, and a lot of Punisher comics! Check out a piece of his early fandom art here:


from FOOM #4 (Marvel, December 1973), by Hugh Haynes
Showing early work means I also get to show off a professional page Hugh drew of a hairy, hairy Frank Castle:


from Punisher (1987 series) #56 (Marvel, December 1991), script by Mike Baron, pencils by Hugh Haynes, inks by Jimmy Palmiotti, colors by Marcus David, letters by Ken Lopez
And it even includes a self-portrait! Hi, Hugh!


Happy birthday, Hugh Haynes!
