My "gateway drug" into this hobby was a con sketchbook. I was inspired by the manager of my local comic shop who showed customers the new con art in his sketchbook. I blame him for my addiction to original comic art!

I commissioned my first non-sketchbook art from Gene Colan at an Apple Con in New York City. Meeting and getting the art in the mail from him were quite memorable. The Daredevil he did at San Diego Comicon was the second sketch--if I was smart it would have been the first sketch and on the first page--in my original book. That book didn't have a theme, although I sometimes asked artists to sketch characters they co-created such as the Joker by Jerry Robinson, Wolverine (with Hulk) by Herb Trimpe, Metamorpho and Aqualad by Ramona Fradon, and Way of the Rat's Po Po by Jeff Johnson.

Joe Staton started my first themed sketchbook in 2009 with the Golden Age JSA sitting at their Camelot round table. It recreates the All-Star Comics #3 cover from 1940! I'm still plugging along on getting sketches in it.

First piece of art that I framed was the Michael Golden lithograph done for a Heroes Con poster that I won at the con auction. Boy was I shaking after winning it. It's not on CAF because it's too large to scan and hard to photograph with the glare on the glass.

I'm not sure which panel page was my first published art. It might have been the Romita Sr. Cap or JSA page by Stephen Sadowski. I remember Darwyn Cooke and his wife walking up as I was buying the Romita Sr. page at a con. He commented it was a good purchase and that he also had a Romita Sr. Cap page. I was very fortunate to pick up pre-done pieces that Darwyn brought to conventions. When I asked for a signature in my sketchbook he drew a wonderfully expressive face with just a few lines.

Last time I saw Darwyn was at Baltimore Comicon. In his awards dinner speech honoring Russ Heath he talked about how much enjoyed Russ's art as a kid reading about soldiers fighting dinosaurs in Star-Spangled War Stories and scuba diving in Sea Devil stories. His love of this period of DC inspired his Justice League: New Frontier book. It's my favorite animated movie, looks great, and flows nicely, partly thanks to his efforts on the film.

Lung cancer tragically took him away less than a year after the awards ceremony. Among my biggest regrets in this hobby is not getting to know him much better. He was about my age and his art sensibilities seemed similar to mine.

Another huge regret is never meeting Jack Kirby. What an imaginative, hard working, kind human being. He was a true hero, serving on the front lines in Europe in Patton's Third Army during World War II. Thank goodness he survived the war. The Marvel Silver Age, and with it the Marvel Cinematic Universe, would have been a shadow of itself or might not have happened at all without Kirby's creations/co-creations and explosive storytelling art.

Okay, enough meandering recollections of a comic art addict. I hope you enjoy the art. Make war no more.
