Yeah, she hates selling Small Favors art. Not much made it out there!
Thanks! I feel quite pleased to have this in my collection, for the reasons you say!
Oh yeah! His women are amazing. I look at it now and wonder why I didn't see it back then! (probably something to do with printing / coloring--the two banes of great artists)
Nice! Synchroncity!
Wow! That's cool! Neat to have an ownership trail. You must not have owned it long! I think it was maybe 95-ish that I bought it from Moy.
I really think this period is his peak, too! Though he did go on to have several different high points, afterwards.
Thanks! It certainly displays well. One of the largest pages I have!
It wasn't until I was studying the early Cracked Magazines because of these two pages and a Gray Morrow page that I own that I realized HOW high that art bar for Cracked was. An AMAZING group of artists!
Just to let you know...we're art buddies! This piece is from a two page Meet The Author story, and I just posted both pages today in my own gallery. Both pages are missing some paste-ups and a bit of art, including this gorgeous examples of yours. I was glad to run across it on your page. Nice to know it wasn't totally lost, and that it ended up in a good home!
I never saw the guy after he brought in this page, and have often wondered about the current state of remodeling / marriage myself!
Yeah....I miss the day of real lettering, but as a writer I have to say it's nice to be able to change lettering around with ease, thanks to computer lettering. As a comic art collector, though, it's a pity: original pages look so good when they're "complete."
Oh, nice! Tell Kevin I said hello! And...nice work on the lettering! I wish I'd learned that particular talent. I think I lettered maybe 10 pages back in the days before I became purely a writer, and, dang...I did NOT do a good job.
That's one of the things I love about the page, too!
I'm so glad you mentioned Shirley! She was SO much fun to talk with. Often she'd take over a conversation entirely and you'd just be along for a wonderful ride. Amazing woman. A blast.
Her art has changed a lot over the years! Also...I didn't know you were on this site, Zack! Hello!
Agreed! I originally went from "what a strange crossover" to "what a natural crossover."
Right? I'd REALLY love to know the artists on a lot of those stories, for sure.
The strips are still surprisingly affordable! Well, at least in today's art market, where everything seems to be getting crazy $$$. I'm really happy to have grabbed this one years ago, especially this example of Opus' drop dead sexiness.
It's interesting. I've known artists who basically never draw outside of work for publication, and then artists who basically never stop drawing...just constant drawing / doodling.
Confident is a really good way to describe his method, I agree!
It's moments like these that made me finally decide to start loading my collection onto the site: the collective hive-mind of knowledge and discussion. I've had this page for decades but now I'm looking at it in another light!
Oh, I hadn't thought about that telepathic powers moment, and now--with the other things you mentioned, I'm wondering if this WAS going to be Aquaman, but then there was some last minute "change him to Aqualad" directive.
There are definitely parts that look Vinny-like, I agree!
He's Guillermo del Toro's go-to-guy for pretty much all the movie design stuff! That keeps him plenty busy, I think.
We used to talk about a new series like it, but...never happened. Too bad. I'd love to see comics have more fun. DC especially could lighten up a little here and there!
I do fairly complete scripts, so I'm sure I gave Patrick a fair amount of description, but he rarely needed it. I could have easily just said, "Let's see some chaos" and he'd have handled it. A real treat to work with!
I'd actually forgotten Alex was in the book until I was looking at the cover credits, and then yeah...the memories flooded back!
This is probably my fave of his work. Other than, maybe, some of that extremely funky / weird art he did for romance comics in the late sixties / early seventies.
The colors on that look wonderful!
His art has aged really well! I think I like it better now then I did back then!
Anthony's Collectibles has a cartoon that seems to be by the same artist. https://www.anthonyscomicbookart.com/ArtistGalleryRoom.asp?ArtistId=2684 Not much information, though!
Aw, that's my bad. I hog them all. Well, mostly because there's only a few covers she'd let go. She's thinking about selling more art in the future, though!
Thanks! I did...mostly by chance...end up with a wide sampling of page types from the run. It's nice.
Yep! The blue lines are color guides. They appear on a LOT of golden age pages, but you can actually erase them and a lot of dealers do so. I can never decide: like...the pages look better without them, but once you erase them, you can never go back.
I like that time period where she was getting new costumes like, every other issue. Felt like she was dressing, rather than being costumed. Added character!
I have Steel Noodle and the sketchbooks, too. Fun little treasures. Would love to see him do a full comic, but, I understand him having his priorities in other directions.
Oh geez. She IS awfully Astrid-like, isn't she? And Louie did work on the film. I"m not sure why that never struck me before! Thank you!
