Did I miss this in CAF's newsletter's "Art Collectors are Talking About?" Because this is an insane piece. I watched the film of course but I didn't know it was based on manga. So manga art inspires film which inspires comic art. Trippy.

13 years later those pencils are still silky!

Dang, Mysterio is awesome. I'll vote for Kraven as my next fave. What a great jam!

I'm not a reader of Invincible so I appreciate the description!

Thanks, Desmond! I'm currently watching the Ironheart series and Riri Williams is also wrestling with the weight of fighting crime. Hmm...maybe Ironheart is a rehash of Darkhawk? Darkheart?

Tex took gritty to an art form.

This brings back memories!

St. Dumas!

Negative space, composition, orientation--all of it turned out great.

I can't believe he churned that out at a con. Chris Mooneyham is truly one of the modern greats.

That's a good story. I bet cosplay Janine wasn't expecting to reach stardom working the phones that night. My wife and I like to quote, "Print is dead" and "I collect molds, spores, and fungi." I know that's an Egan quote but it's set off by Janine's underlying pining for him. When my wife and I quote that the underlying meaning between us is we are talking about someone who doesn't get the hint or crass know-it-alls who don't read. We also quote, "Nothing ever happens in there!"

It might be too on the nose, but you can feature Janine in it. Or checkout their retro toyline. They used a lot of neon-like pallettes, especially with the ghosts they used as accessories. Might be glue gun fun too.

This was an eBay grab?! Wow!

The art, the frame...the PKE reading is off the charts 👻

💯 🙌 I was hoping to get one of those "above and beyond" Mystery Sketches and scored.

Beautifully painted. This belongs in a Marvel Masterpieces card set.

Man, that's a lot of power per square inch!

I don't know what she's swimming in but I'd like to join her 😍

Came out great!

Just saw a Phoenix Five Namor by Gumboc posted. Looks like he's the go-to artist for men on fire. Nice sketch 🔥 

Talk about going above and beyond!

Great combo of subject and artist! Congrats!

What a great sketch card!

One of the most impressive commissions I've seen in a long while! Congrats!

Damn! Those colors!!!

Ha ha! Love the inscription!

Ssssiick commisssssion!

Ahh you Europeans have the best backdrops. Americans be proposing to their girlfriends at ball games and shiz. And y'all can really nerd it out! Congratulations and I hope this is framed and hanging in your home!

Great idea!

If it's not chocolate, not eating it. But I will wish you a ¡felíz cumple!

Wow! I'd love to know the story behind this piece.

Wow! I've never seen this house ad before (or have I?). A very important part of the Knightfall Trilogy that receives very little fanfare. Nice pickup!

I never expected to see a DC page in your gallery, but you sure picked a good one to make an impression.

Good luck with the auction, Gene!

This came out so great!

"What If...Danny Rand Crashed Inside the Canadian Wilderness? Stan Lee Presents: Canuckles...The Living Weapon X!"

Heh heh...attorney at law?

What an original take! It's like the campy costume never changed over the last 60 years but artists had to modernize it, make it masculine. Batastic!

Practically Bane's origin retold by his creator. Great page.

Quite a bit of painted art went to Az-Bats in KnightQuest if you count all the Brian Stelfreeze covers on Shadow of the Bat. I couldn't get enough of it. I would have been all over this book just for the cover if I had access to it as a kid. A beaut with all the drama.

Dead, red, and dread.

Even in his loosest sketch, Fabry's style is still distinct and badass.

Love this! You won the Mystery Sketch Jackpot right here. Above and beyond!

Nice subject, excellent execution 

Ha ha, love Bat-Mite! Clean lines and lots of pluck!

Classic X-Men Classic cover.

Whoa-ho-ho! Breyfogle had a unique vision for his villains as well!

"He's paid off dental school. He's ten years into his successful practice. Now armed with disposable income, he's out to wage war on OA BSDs with punishment bids. Stan Lee presents...Frank Castle, DDS."

LOL! I know they got Space Punisher, but Marvel needs to do a Aliens book wherein the Xenomorphs kill Frank Castle's family on board. (Though the poor Castles are eternally put through the ringer.)

Very nice pickup. Very wise pickup.
