DescriptionThis is from Act Two, Scene Two also known as the famous Balcony Scene:Romeo. Lady, by yonder blessed moon I vow, That tips with silver all these fruit-tree tops Juliet. O, swear not by the moon, the inconstant moon, That monthly changes in her circled orb, Lest that thy love prove likewise variable. I had a blast restarting the Shakespeare Project with this commission and I hope the next entry doesn't take more than 20 years to complete. This commission went off without a hitch. Bob Hall and Joe Rubinstein did an incredible job for me, and I couldn't be happier. A true man of the theater, I believe Bob really liked my idea. He wrote that, while he always saw the Surfer more as Hamlet, he, nevertheless, felt that Norrin and Shalla-Bal were well cast as this play's pair of star-crossed lovers. You can visit him at bobhall.com or at Catskill Comics. (He also runs a "modest" Shakespeare Festival in Lincoln, Ne. I encourage you to visit the website, flatwatershakespeare.org, if you're interested.) Also, I can't thank Joe enough as he brainstormed with me about this commission, worked out the look and feel of it, and even helped me sort out some of the future ones before adding his magic to this piece. If you haven't already, check out his CAF gallery and give him some love. It is well worth a look, in my opinion. Extra! Extra! Read All About It! Bob & Joe's "Portrait of Two Star-Crossed Lovers" commission appeared as a pinup in Two Morrow's Back Issue No. 135. I'm thrilled to see this art published. Social/Sharing |

This captures the essence of Norrin & Shall-bal as well as Romeo and Juliet ....to paraphrase " Two households both alike in dignity , On fair Zenn-La where we lay our scene"

What a brilliant idea for a commission! And so nicley executed by Bob Hall. The doomed romance of the Surfer and Shalla-Bal is one of the great tragedies of the Marvel Universe.
