- France, March 2008 -
Devoted collector for my own pleasure, I'm a huge fan of Michael Turner and Al Rio artworks mostly.
Comics business may encounter less success in Europe than in America, and I can't say I've an encyclopedic culture of comics, but I do have my beloved ones. Mike Turner's Soulfire for example, Finch/Lansang's Aphrodite IX or the well known Tomb Raider.
Coming to favs pencillers, mine is undoubtably Al Rio, who has an unmatched way to capture heroines and highly feminine female characters. Apart of comics reading, I can only say one thing about gathering OAs : owning an original artwork always do something, may it be a cover art, an inner page or simply a sketch...
The comics pencillers community sure gather lots of incredible and inimitable artists : Marc Silvestri, Michael Turner, Al Rio, Randy Green, Billy Tan, Clarence Lansang, David Finch, Buzz, Mike Deodato Jr., Ivan Reis, and so on, and so on, and so on...
This collection is mostly dedicated to female comic and fantasy characters.

Uh, after the interest and enthousiasm shown by friends and cool CAF fellows I may let it go and enlarge a little the scope of these uploads to share along the few nice collected pin-up/good girl art examples I possess when the penciller/painter happened to be also a name of the comic industry.
Al Rio, Jim Silke, Dave Stevens and Joe Chiodo are the finest examples I can think of...
