Even better than Dr. Manhattan, although not quite as good as the train barrelling down on The Tick becasue what could ever be better than... The Tick

Sorry Andy, there won't be another Tick/Gerhard piece this year. Because of the new TV show, Edlund was only at SDCC on Saturday and I left before that.

I loved the background on this page, but it also was a rare period in the latter part of the run in which you could see the chemistry between Cerebus and Jaka - something that was more relatable than the other storylines from that period.

The Zeck homage goes farther than just G.I. Joe #43. He also used the layout from Cap #286 for the rest of the composition.

Where did you did up this masterpiece? Not only historic for the reasons you mention, but also one of the rare double-pagers drawn on one board!

Vigil's Punisher is probably the closest thing I've seen to the way Zeck draws him. If you had John Beatty ink it... well, that would be awesome (not to say it isn't already)!

Great Zeck Punisher, I love it. I wonder who Jim and Lynn are.

Jim Warden and his wife. Jim was Mike's agent back when this came out. Jim had Mike add that detail when Mike inked the original pencils for this piece.

Outside of the great Zeck image, the price of gas at the time always cracks me up to see. Now that I live in California, I don't think we'll see it that low again any time soon.

Saw this posted on Gerhard's blog and thought it was hilarious. I'm also surprised that there's not a penciller out there that would want to team up with Gerhard to bring their project to life. He adds such creativity to the backgrounds and does portfolio level quality work.

Justice Machine Annual #1 with the first app. of the Elementals was in 1983 - a year prior to Elementals #1 which was his first regular series. Prior to that, I think he primarily did work for D&D and those great ads in Marvel Comics circa 1982.

Date sounds about right... that's when Mike changed his signature over to his current one - except he used to draw that little line at the end. So, towards the end of the Secret Wars run or just after. Cool piece!

Owner: Dewey Cassell

Comment posted on 4/14/2015
I too will sorely miss Herb - it's hard to believe I'll no longer be able to sneak away from the long line of fans at his table to catch a bite to eat. I knew him first from his G.I. Joe and Hulk work (which had a huge influence on me), but then got to know him just as a great person who loved his fans and worked hard to provide for his family. I was blown away when he agreed to drive down to my house from NY to DC to meet with fans at my 2010 Cherry Blossom Spectacular. It really showed how great a guy he was and I'm glad people got to know him better there. I was honored to help him over the years with his various sketchbook projects - it allowed me to get to know him better and appreciate a broader range of his art. I'll cherish the memories I had with Herb - you can't take those away. And, you can't take away the body of work he leaves behind. Dewey - I look forward to upcoming your tribute to Herb.

These are amazing! Does he work over the original?

Yes, the final pieces are drawn all on one board so it's important to use good paper (preferably illustration board like this one). Gerhard will work through drafts using "old school" tracing paper and then will transfer the pencils from the tracing paper to the final drawing. For coloring, he goes "modern" and tries out coloring combinations on the computer before committing it to the board. I'm sure he would work off a blueline, but for these projects, I wanted to make sure that both artists had drawn on the same piece of paper.

Fantastic idea, fabulous execution. And that Dr. Manhattan is H-U-G-E huge compared to your original concept!!! :)

Thanks for reminding me to tell that part of the story - originally, I expected it to be really small (like 2 inches tall), but when I got it back from Gibbons it was larger than I anticipated. In the end, probably better that way.
