Description

Here's a delightful Hembeck self portrait, with all the usual Hembeckisms, such as spiral burner knees. I've long been tickled that he depicts himself with a Talosianesque clefted cranium. I finally reached the stage of collecting that necessitated a Hembeck, and I could think of no better subject than the artist himself.

Thanks for taking a look!

Charming throwback to the days when Fred's cartoon persona would be featured in DC and Marvel comics.

Classic Hembeck (and color coordinated to boot). Welcome to the club buddy.

Fred's sweater vest brings warmth and a gentle kindness not often found in comics today! More heroes should adopt this look.

if you're only going to have one this is the one to get! Fred looking at us art collectors with the perfect shrug and smirk, awesome!

Excellent! Fred has done seemingly hundreds of sketch cards, many of the same characters multiple times, yet this is the first time I've seen a self-portrait, which is pretty odd when you consider that drawings of himself are how many comic fans came to know his work back in the 80's in Marvel Age!
