Week 2 - Casey's Trap Jaw

I gotta say, Zach set the bar pretty high this week with his awesomely whacked out version of TJ. My hat is off to you my friend! The best part about tackling Trap Jaw was doing some research and reminding myself of just how much I freakin' loved He-Man as a kid and ESPECIALLY those mini-comics that came with the action figures. I tracked down a few issues and was pretty blown away by how awesome they still are, thanks in no small part to some great artwork by Mark Texeira doing his best Barry Windsor-Smith/Frazetta and succeeding quite well - though you can certainly spot traces of how his style would later develop into its own cool thing. Anyway, here's a battle wounded Trap Jaw shambling around in front of old Castle Grayskull and waving around a pneumatic hook. GRRRR!!!
