John Lustig at Comic-Con
I’m attending this week’s San Diego Comic-Con.
And my friend Spencer Brinkerhoff III has graciously offered me space at his Booth #5560. (It’s a corner booth right by the doors between F & G Hall on the first floor–near Artist Alley.)
I’m bringing some Last Kiss goodies as well as a few of the Last Kiss, Marvel & Disney comics I’ve written. But my main reason for being there is to meet readers and fans. So, please come by and say, “Howdy!”
Today’s comic is more Last Kiss fun from Tony Isabella & Diego Jourdan Pereira!
Original Vintage Art & Text
Art by Mike Sekowsky from the story “I Need Your Love” in New Romances #16, June 1953.

↓ TranscriptSCENE: Man and woman standing next to each other.
WOMAN: You don’t need to feel ashamed for having erotic thoughts...about a cartoon character. Everyone has those sometimes.
WOMAN (thinking): Hmm...I wonder if he’d cosplay...Sailor Jupiter for me.
Silhouette of Sailor Jupiter is shown in the thought balloon.

A tale of nun-sense written by my pal Tony Isabella!
Adventures in A.I.
The vast majority of Last Kiss art is based on old panels of published comic book art. But over the last year I’ve been experimenting with A.I. art. And occasionally it’s found its way into Last Kiss.
This one started like this. Tony Isabella wrote to be with an idea: “John…I thought I would give you another A.I. challenge. The image should be of a deliriously happy man looking at his wife dressed as a sexy nun. The wife, not the guy.”
This turned out to be a surprisingly difficult challenge. A.I. content generator MidJourney wouldn’t accept any prompt with both the words “nun” and “sexy.” (Or any synonym for “sexy.”) It kept placing the nun and man inside a church. And the man? MidJourney kept dressing him as a priest. Clearly, this wouldn’t work with Tony’s gag.
It took many attempts and changes in prompt verbiage to come up with the art for today’s comic. (Instead of a priest, the man now looks more like James Bond.)
Anyway, I thought readers might enjoy seeing the a few of my initial attempts at the art:
↓ TranscriptSCENE: Inside a home. A man (dressed in a suit) is talking to a woman in a sexy nun's costume.
MAN: Gosh!
WOMAN: We’re playing “The Virginal Choir Boy and the Naughty Nun.” That’s why I’m wearing my bad habit. Your choir robe is in the bedroom.
CAPTION: Joe loved Cosplay Night!
