Thanks a lot, Bob! No, I'm not that familiar with Starlin. It doesn't show that well, but I looked at a lot of Nowlan. The light standard with the hydro box and wires was definitely inspired by Nowlan.

Happy Birthday to you, Jeff!

Fantastic page, Malcolm.. Congrats!

Holey-Moley.. THAT is amazing!!

Thanks, Kevin! Yes, I find these prelims fascinating. It's like getting a film script with notes and storyboard ideas written in the margins.

His last words: "....it...was....WORTH... it!! *gasp* "

Thanks, Rick! This was the 1st piece of original art I ever got..

Awesome!

Awesome piece, Rob.. I'm green with envy!!

Thank you for your kind words, Steven! Yeah, it would've been an amazing experience to work with him. But I was happy to know him as a friend. Got to hang with him at SDCC shows I attended. He even let me sell my self-published Sketchbook from his Booth? Talk about the ultimate DS Fan Experience?!  LOL

I'm 99% sure this is rough ink sketch by Design Supervisor: Charles E. (Ted) Bastien..

Great stuff!

Awesome! Always loved that cover!..

Looks very familiar! LOL

Killer page!! Congrats!

Awesome!!

That is AMAZING, Jeff!! Wanna know why? 'Cuz I was the guy that hand-colored it! I was working at Dragon Lady Comics, at the time..

Beautiful page, Jeff!  I had no idea that John had pages like that in his collection..

These are fantastic! They're from the 1982 Animated Feature: "TIME MASTERS (Les Maitres Du Temps).. I have the art book for it.

These are fantastic, George!

Nice stuff, George.. Congrats!

It's gorgeous, Bob! Congrats..

Amazing! Don't think I've ever seen this before..

Yeah, there aren't very many holes in Sandy's art game.. Great compositions and strong volumetric drawing!

Yeah, I think Mignola was barely 2 years in on HELLBOY? He seemed a little more open to occasionally working on stuff outside his familiar milieu..

The Dinos were fun characters. They run thru the entirety of the 10-issue RAGMOP saga! Rob made a point of saying: "Mignola drew them more solidly than I ever could!.." Mignola was only 2 years into drawing HELLBOY. But I guess he must've had a lot of DC bristol board still hanging around!..

Yeah, the rim lighting Mignola indicated on the dinos really makes them pop off of the BG!

Interesting that he sold them as prints? I did not know that. Rob loved that Mignola had paid such close attention to the RAGMOP storyline. I know he was especially fond of the Dr. Seuss -type character Mignola drew in the inset panel at the bottom..

Haha   Indeed, Rick!

Holey Moley!!

Awesome!

Holy Shit, Jimmy.. YOU got that one? If I hadn't bought 2 other Torres at that same auction.. This would've been the next one on my list! Gorgeous illustration!!

Glad the artwork found a happy home.. Thanks, "Duke"!! And thanks to everyone else for the kind comments!

BATMAN appears to be touching himself..

Nice!!

Friggin' FAN-tastic!!

Fantastic!

Awesome!! Congrats!

Thanks, Rick! I had been looking for one, for quite awhile..

Thanks, Matthew!

Yeah, I guess I tried to throw in everything into 1 image? haha

Fantastic!!

Unbelievably awesome.. I love REID FLEMING!!

Damn HIPPIES!!..

Awesome, Jeff!!

Awesome piece.. Congrats!

Yeah, she looks pretty pissed! haha

Fantastic piece Jeff, I'm envious! I've always wanted to get a nice Jacovitti example. I agree with your comments. No one in North America has even heard of him. I was introduced to his work when my parents took the family to Holland in the mid-1970's. His strips appeared regularly in the Dutch PEP anthology magazine..

Thanks a lot, Marcus!

Thanks, Nick! Great seeing you again, last night.

Truly awesome page, Chris.. Congrats!
