Nice Nowlan piece with top notch inking as usual! Did not know about this Wildstorm trading card set either, but not surprised as it was the 90s after all! Also noticed this one making the auction/for sale rounds a few times in a short period of time somewhat recently, which is a good recipe for a bargain if you end up being the last taker in that sequential story of art changing ownership hands quickly :) - good for you and congrats on the new addition at a great price!
Nice to know we have another interest in common!
Obviously there can only be one #1 Groo fan. But hey, I'll settle for any spot in the top 50. Appreciate the comment, especially considering it's not an actual Groo drawing.
Fun piece, and nice to finally see it in a collection!
Wise move, choosing this card from the deck!
Speaking of choosing. When I reached out to Kevin, I asked him why he chose this particular character. He told me that by the time Wildstorm approached him to do one, this was the only character left. So it wasn't so much a luck of the draw thing, but more being the last horse at the trough. Of course I realize that if this HAD been an actual Groo drawing, I probably wouldn't have gotten it for that price. So my "wise move" had more to do with loving Kevin's work, rather than being a Groo fan.
The inking on this is a standout!
Great art that you want at 1/3 cost is a formula that works every time! Congrats on getting the piece you want, at a price you want. And a dang good piece of art as well. Congrats!!
I bet he crushes at beach volleyball.
Glad it went to a good home. Enjoy!
I always love how clean Nowlan is able to draw and his, unique to him, shapes and proportion. Great example!
All it took was a tad.
Haha! That's right, just a tad. I wish I could win all my auctions with just a tad. But like I said, my bids usually get clobbered. At least it worked this time. I'll keep trying though.
Praise Apollo!
Awesome and unique artist/subject pairing! Loved your engaging description, as always. Third time's a charm! I hope to finally land a couple items I somehow let slip through my fingers at past auctions, and your tale gives me hope
Good luck buddy! Sometimes all we have is hope. Unfortunately for me, I have more hope than actual cash. And hope only gets you so far. Just glad it worked out in this case.
I'll confess I've never read anything "Groo" but it's Nowlan so you pay atention ;)
I would argue that you should probably pay attention to Sergio as well, but I totally agree about Nowlan. That's someone who ALWAYS gets my attention. Thanks for the comment my friend.
terrific piece!
Nice addition, fun Nowlan card art.
So, so, sooo cool. What a treat to see a more down to earth take on The Sage & Mulch here by the always delightful Mr. Nowlan (who absolutely knocked it out of the park on "the dog"... It's my favorite part of the piece! :) Putting the "wow!" in bow-wow, I guess...!). Fantastic write up (as usual) and I was chuckling out loud as you added more and more twists and turns. If there was ever a more comic-character-accurate way for a piece to make its rambling and indirect way to the collection that is trying and trying and trying (and trying!) to bring it home, it is your description of the meandering and roundabout journey this piece took to reach you. Love that story! :) Yup - a gorgeously inked specialty piece that finally arrived to where it appears it was obviously headed all along. Big congrats, pal. :)
