Description

James Dean Smith is a local artist/writer who sold me a few items from his collection including this Boris the Bear Concept drawing which pre-dates his 1986 Dark Horse series. I wrote about it in Back Issue Magazine #125 where I did a short interview with him.

Very cool and historical piece. Can't help but wonder if this character/comic had any influence on Seth McFarlane and his Ted movies.

Those two are already down for the count. What's going to hurt for a minute or two? I see him cocking his fist... oh no! This is indie stuff that's going too far!

I remember this series well. I don't recall seeing any other art from it before. Fun stuff.
