Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot Issue: 2 Page: 26
Owner: Peter P

You could stare at these pages for hours and still not pick up all the details, then realize that Geoff sat there and drew all of it by hand! Mad genius (as Bach's Toccata And Fugue plays on iTunes as I type this), beautiful work!

Nomad (Jack Monroe) Marvels Project cover
Owner: Neal Roth

Comment posted on 11/29/2009
Golden is a great guy to talk with at shows, lotsa cool stories. And he really captured the essence of the 90's Nomad character in this piece, full-on sour-puss! Looks great!

Very nice Joe, beautiful Kevin pencilled and inked figures, and oversized to boot! There's an expensive framing job! Congrats!

Paul Chadwick Concrete Sketch
Owner: Royd Burgoyne

Comment posted on 11/11/2009
I love how Paul infused life into this simple sketch by adding a few clouds, birds, and having Concrete peering over the cliff, leaving us to wonder just what it is that has captured Ron's attention. Could Maureen be frolicking on the beach below? Beautiful piece, congrats!

Wonder Woman by Aaron Lopresti
Owner: Fred Bronaugh

Comment posted on 11/8/2009
I like the shading and the tone, and that small amount of color makes a big splash! Very cool!

That's an unusual piece, as most of the sketches he does are profiles...very nice!

Ditko - Amazing Spider-Man #22 p.26
Owner: Francesco Bazzana

Comment posted on 10/26/2009
Terrific, Ditko doing most of the major characters on one page (even an Aunt May lecture!)! How can you still have a want list when you keep adding gems like this?!? Congrats!

Black Knight - Paul Smith
Owner: Philip Rutledge

Comment posted on 10/22/2009
See, everybody keeps going to these cons that for one reason or another I can't go to that Paul Smith is at, and getting what I would've gotten! Excellent piece, congrats!

Michael Golden's The 'Nam
Owner: Chad Garrett

Comment posted on 10/16/2009

Cloak & Dagger - Rick Leonardi
Owner: carlos lising

Comment posted on 10/16/2009
Beautiful vintage commission (too good to be a mere sketch) by THE Cloak & Dagger artist. Love the way Rick gets the light effect by careful placement of the lines for Cloak's shadow. Great pick-up, congrats!

The Tick Special Edition 2 - Page 8 - Ben Edlund
Owner: Daniel Storm

Comment posted on 10/16/2009
Great pick-up! Dark Knight, Schmark Knight, these things are rare! And I was right there with you on that first issue. I used to mail order from New England Comics, saw The Tick in the newsletter, got the comic when it came out, loved it all since. Congrats on a great page with a nice sketch (he's still got it!)!

Concrete and the Sandman - Paul Chadwick
Owner: Bill Lait

Comment posted on 10/11/2009
Beautiful piece, makes me think he would have done an excellent job on an issue of Sandman.

Beautiful example of Leonardi's wonderful figures and amazing backgrounds, with great Austin inking to boot! Great page, Sean, congrats!

Doctor Strange by Kevin Nowlan
Owner: Mark B. Kirschner

Comment posted on 9/30/2009
Excellent piece Mark, and, thanks to Gerry Turnbull's knowledge of all things Strange, I believe I just acquired a prelim to this piece. I got mine from Kevin, not knowing what it was a prelim to...beautiful commission, congrats!

Comment posted on 9/23/2009
Very cool to see this, for a variety of reasons. Please pass along a sincere "thanks" to Mr. Frazetta for putting out so much work that I've enjoyed and appreciate over the years, and thanks to you Rob, for posting things like this!

The Crow by Paul Chadwick
Owner: Jon H.

Comment posted on 9/13/2009
Great idea, and excellent choice with getting Chadwick to do a Crow piece! Love the moodiness and emotion he can convey in a single illustration. Congrats!

Dave Sim & Gerhard-Cerebus #146, page 3
Owner: Micah Spivak

Comment posted on 9/6/2009
Love the disgruntled Cerebus expressions, you got a great page! BTW, I was at all 3 NYC stops of the US Tour '92 also!

Owner: Micah Spivak

Fantastic piece, what a coup! Congrats!

Drawings used as Lapel Pin Designs
Owner: Michael Wm Kaluta

Comment posted on 8/28/2009
Would I be correct in guessing the actual pins are somewhere on the "PinPants?"

Randall Factor with Mary Medea as Glorianna of Phoebus and Erotica Ann 333
Owner: Michael Wm Kaluta

Comment posted on 8/28/2009
That just seems like an insane amount of linework for something that became unused! Glad you're sharing this stuff here where we can enjoy it! Beautiful piece!

LEONARDI - Cloak and Dagger (1987)
Owner: Jean-Paul Gabilliet

Comment posted on 8/19/2009
Beautiful! Love the way Rick's able to use the pencil lines to make the darkness of Tyrone's cloak delineate the light eminating from Dagger in uniform directions. That kinda gets lost in the inking, so nice to have a great pencil-only pin-up!

DARROW - A whale?
Owner: Jean-Paul Gabilliet

Comment posted on 8/19/2009
I, for one, am looking forward to the "some other time"! Terrific piece, bet there IS a good story to it!

Doctor Strange by Paul Smith
Owner: Adam Richards

Comment posted on 8/19/2009
Why am I not surprised that Gerry found this even sooner than I did? Excellent pick-up, love the pencil only stuff, congrats!

Moon Knight - Bill Sienkiewicz
Owner: Philip Rutledge

Comment posted on 8/17/2009
Between this and the Paul Smith Black Knight, you got what I would've if I'd gone to that show in Dallas! Great pick-ups, congrats!

DAREDEVIL 232 (1986)
Owner: Lorenzo Fratini

Comment posted on 8/4/2009
I agree with your assessment that Mazzucchelli improved even within the confines of this 7 issue storyline. By this point, we're watching a master; given a fantastic script, his drawings compliment the words, not merely illustrating what you've already read. And the linework is beautiful, rich and full. One of my absolute favorite stories, in any medium, ever. Congrats on 2 beauties!

CEREBUS 43 (1982)
Owner: Lorenzo Fratini

Comment posted on 8/4/2009
Any Cerebus page with Lord Julius Groucho on it is worth it! Also, thanks for the description of why the pages mean what they do (loved the baseball analogy in your Dave Sim Gallery description)! Great stuff!

WEB OF SPIDER MAN ANNUAL 2 (1986)
Owner: Lorenzo Fratini

Comment posted on 8/4/2009
Wow, Art Adams doing Spidey (in the black suit!) and Godzilla on the same page! Very cool! This is probably my favorite era for Adams' work as well. And in the credit department, Arthur would be the first person to tell you that he got those webs from Michael Golden! Fantastic page, congrats!

Bicycle before the Con
Owner: Bill Cox

Comment posted on 7/24/2009
You realize the guy on the bike is on the phone, probably with the guy who's about 9 feet in front of him... :)

Rom 18 Cover
Owner: David Mandel

Comment posted on 7/17/2009
In the few instances that Terry Austin inked Frank Miller, he managed to provide a very unique interpretation of Miller's pencils, that I think worked very well! I especially like the way this cover came out, something about the light and shadows mixed with the snowstorm, and characters Miller hardly ever worked on (Colossus?!? Maybe twice ever!!), that make this one really stand out. Not for sale...how about a donation to a needy friend? ;)

Daredevil 181 Cover
Owner: David Mandel

Comment posted on 7/16/2009
You know, I got on to CAF tonight to post something, and then I saw this, and felt somehow smaller in the universe...this looks even more beautiful in B&W, love the tones! Thanks for sharing another excellent gem!

Paul Chadwick: Polar bears illustration
Owner: Steven Ng

Comment posted on 7/14/2009
I love this piece! This is from Andrew Vachss' book "Another Chance To Get It Right", a nice little collection of short stories illustrated by Chadwick, Geoff Darrow, Tim Bradstreet, Dave Gibbons, and more. Love Paul's nature pieces, you've made me pull out my copy and read it again! Thanks for sharing!

Captain America 111 Cover
Owner: David Mandel

Comment posted on 7/14/2009
Talk about iconic...truly amazing, incredibly powerful image, in both energy and emotion. Love the movie poster feel that Steranko brought to covers, and you got one of, if not THE best, of all! Congrats!

Mike Mignola - Hellboy coffee cup design
Owner: K Hutson

Comment posted on 7/9/2009
I may have to buy one of these mugs just to have this piece...I don't drink coffee!

I LOVE IT! (I should, I paid for it!) Thanks Michael!

Moon Knight #28 back cover pencils
Owner: Robert (Dr Bob) Reilly

Comment posted on 7/5/2009
I always loved this piece, and while I get why they went with the final image for the cover of #29, I prefer this image simply as a single piece, a testament to Sienkiewicz' fantastic artistic abilities. This is a beautiful portrait, and a wonderful example of his talent with a pencil. Love the notes at the top too, had never seen those before! Thanks for sharing!

Alan Davis - Detective Comics 569 - Batman, Robin, Joker, Catwoman

Comment posted on 6/28/2009

Rocketeer Movie Adaptation Preliminary drawing

Comment posted on 6/26/2009
Even in a prelim stage, beautiful! And the most finished item in the drawing is the best part, Cliff Secord himself! Wonderful piece, congrats! Maybe I should try sighing to a friend...

Negative Zone Battle (30" x 40")
Owner: Jim Warden

Comment posted on 6/16/2009
I would hope this makes up for the fate of this year's Washington Capitals...or is that what's got Galactus so pissed off?!?!?

Paul Chadwick & Michael T. Gilbert - Concrete & Mr. Monster Illustration
Owner: Tim Easterday

Comment posted on 6/16/2009
This was the cover to Amazing Heroes 133, the 1988 Preview Special issue. And yes, it's a great and funny piece! Congrats on having 1 nice piece by 2 great artists!

Gene Ha's Marvel Girl
Owner: Chad Garrett

Comment posted on 6/14/2009
Excellent! That's a very unique angle and pose for a con sketch, makes it stand out!

Creature from the Black Lagoon by Michael Golden
Owner: matthew reed

Comment posted on 6/11/2009
Beautiful! Love the deep shadows, and the blurring of the body parts, really helps communicate the underwater impression! Great detail, a nice sense of motion as well! I know it took a while to get, but it was well worth it, congrats!
