Description

I hadn't been aware of Jun Bob Kim until seeing and amazing Invaders One Minute Later commission here at CAF. I immediately contacted him and from the first moment of our interaction until completion of the final artwork, he was both enthusiastic, friendly and incredibly creative. My only request was that he include Ben, Spidey and Logan, asking him to add other characters of his chosing. Jun came back with the idea of "A tongue-in-cheek game of poker... for the fate of the world". As with all of the artists, his putting his own artistic spin on this added immensely to the original idea. The fun continued as he sent me a pencilled rough, that clearly depicted fun hijinx including the playing cards reflected in Silver Surfer's forehead, Logan handing off a card to Spidey under the table, Kang going all in Doom tantrumming and more..... as well as a nod to Collidge's "A Friend in Need" classic piece. He offered to add another character into the scene and we came up with a disapproving Cap looking on.

I've really lucked out with this gallery and this addition is yet another blatant reminder of that good fortune as well as the vast amount of artistic creativity and talent out there!

i also must wonder would Pete's spidey sense kick in if he was going to make a bad bet?

Initially, I had included DD in the list of characters I had asked to be included, but quickly dropped it down to Spidey, Ben and Logan. Whether or not the former pieces influenced the latter, I don't know.
