Description

"Why we all RESENT JEFF Wedding" by Johnny Mc.

As collectors, the hardest thing in the world is to LIMIT OUR COLLECTING FOCUS and MAXIMIZE OUR ART BUDGET. It is a constant battle and we don't need people pushing us towards areas that we wouldn't normally collect.

...Enter Jeff Wedding...well, you know what I mean! Stinking Jeff! Making me believe that I am emotionally incomplete without a Hembeck piece in my life.

Well, Jeff, here it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks again, Jeff, for all you do and for nudging me into this direction.

Also, this looks as though it may be published, since there is a page number on it. Does anyone have any information behind it? I looked into the Hembeck Omnibus, but couldn't find anything.

Also, I am just assuming it's a SPY vs SPY nod as well.

It's a massive 11x17 edge to edge. I really love the Hembeck knees and chest lines and the use of the blacks and whites reversed. So cool.

Hey Jordan!!

This could also be the birth page for the Black Western Ghost Rider that appeared in Ghost Rider #33 (2009), since it predated it by 5 years??? Haha. Probably not ;)

When I pull up outside of your house in a windowless panel van full of Hembeck sketch cards and candy... hop on in and let's go for a ride!

Beautiful Hembeck homage to Spy vs Spy meets Western Ghost Rider. Charming piece but why are they being nice to each other? Is there a bomb concealed in that hat? There's always a catch in Spy vs. Spy. Great pick-up, congrats!

I wondered where this ended up. Congrats, great pickup!
