Skeletor by Darryl Banks

I got a He-Man from him 6 years ago. His style is perfect for that franchise.

Superboy #2
Owner: Lee Dunch

Comment posted on 4/27/2016
Why would anyone hate Grummett's work? His style is so classic that I can't imagine it would be anything close to polarizing.

Todd McFarlane - Spiderman 6 pg.12

"One day I'm gonna have to divorce her just so I can marry her all over again!" That line makes me so sad. How did we go from a perfectly likable, genuinely responsible Spider-Man to the selfish, immature idiot we've been stuck with since "One More Day"? I'd rather have THIS Spider-Man back!

Kelley Jones Superman
Owner: aric shapiro

Interesting how the cape completely masks him out below the waist. This Superman could be any version: the traditional, the DCNU, the SMALLVILLE SEASON 11, or the MAN OF STEEL movie version. It doesn't lean toward any one of them, and that's actually pretty smart. It can be any Superman you want it to be, and with so many different versions in existence that might be the best way to go.

Curt Swan/Jerry Ordway Batman Sketch
Owner: Ande Parks

Comment posted on 3/9/2014
In an ideal world, Swan would have switched over to drawing Batman and Aparo would have taken over for him on Superman. I guess this as close as we'll ever get to that.

Neal Adams - Batman Odyssey #06 pg 09
Owner: Jon O

Comment posted on 3/9/2014
I have to say, this is the best Adams' most recent work has looked. Nowlan really cleaned up and streamlined the pencils to a high gloss. The mix of these two guys resulted in something really good.

Hulk
Owner: Stu's Art

Comment posted on 3/9/2014
Wow. A character Jones' style actually works really well for. I'm shocked. I always thought he was the wrong fit for Batman, but this? Totally different ball of wax. Jones' distorted, grotesque style is a good match for a character who's as inhuman as it gets. I have to give the man props. On monstrous, unnatural-looking characters, he can bring it. And Hulk is one of them.

CAPTAIN AMERICA watercolor painting by STEVE RUDE

The painting is nothing less than stunning.

Kirk a la Breyfogle

Awesome! I would never have thought of Norm for this, but seeing this it just makes perfect sense!

It happens that he's a huge Trekkie (William Shatner was his childhood hero), so it wound up being the perfect fit. I think God was steering me in the right direction when I decided to ask Breyfogle to draw this. ;)

Kirk a la Breyfogle

Best pick up of your DF haul Reid! Wish I could have made that list! Love that gun!

The phaser rifle was his call. I'd provided three reference sheets for this: Shatner head shots, Kirk's various uniforms from TV and the movies, and the various pistol phaser designs. But since the Shatner reference included shots of the phaser rifle, Breyfogle decided that was the way to go. It was a curve ball that made the sketch even better.

Luke Skywalker is a Bad Mofo

Fantastic! I'm sure Keith doesn't get many Star Wars requests. Did he need a reference?

This was his very first STAR WARS sketch, and I provided the reference for it (as I do with just about everything). It would be fun to see him do more down the road, but we'll see what happens.

Batman and Catwoman's Rooftop Lovin'
Owner: Reid Mason

Quite a cool commission, I've gotta admit the Bat costume looks like it's inspired by the Joel Schumacher films!

Batman is indeed wearing a Schumacher-era costume. It's the Val Kilmer Batsuit sans nipples. It's probably my favorite of all the movie costumes, and I thought it would match up well with the Julie Newmar Catwoman outfit. While Catwoman's costume remains a constant in all the Batman/Catwoman stuff I get, I find it's more fun to change up Batman's clothes every so often.

FOR YOUR EYES ONLY, Supergirl edition. ;)

Ian Churchill Superman Splash Page!
Owner: Norm Rapmund

Comment posted on 8/11/2013
I always liked Churchill's art on this arc. I think he really found his feet on Superman with this run, and this for me was the point where his Superman finally clicked with me.

Superman & Batgirl by Thom Zahler

Hey, anything's an upgrade from Lois Lane!

Ed Mcguinness - Superman 156 Cover Art
Owner: Mike K

Comment posted on 11/25/2012

Mike K said:
Yes it is. First time I've ever encountered a cover like this. I'm curious to see what the back of the published comic looks like!

The back of the issue has a standard full-page ad. They never used the full image outside of promo articles for the Loeb run.

Calafiore's Vader
Owner: Reid Mason

Will Cox said:
NICE! Reminds me of the early version of Darth designed by Ralph McQuarrie. Jim does a fantastic job of expressing emotion through the mask.

This is indeed one of the early McQuarrie Vader designs. I wanted Mr. Calafiore's take on it, after having had the other famous early design drawn by the likes of Franchesco. There's a lot of mileage in those early designs that doesn't get used all that much.

Mullett Superman
Owner: Alex MacPhee

Comment posted on 11/14/2011
Ah, Tom Grummett. One of the few who knew how to draw Superman's Fabio-flavored makeover to look macho and heroic. It's kind of funny how poorly that hairstyle has aged, given how hard DC pushed it at the time.

American Dream, Pinup Girl
Owner: Reid Mason

Andreas G said:
Shannon looks beautiful here. Congrats on getting the piece!

Well, the idea was to do a takeoff on the old Betty Grable pinup shots from WWII. The gag behind this was to make it look like something you'd see on a calendar from the era.

Gene Kelly as Batman

Roy Johnson said:
Surely Fred Astaire would be more Ralph-like. And who is Superman (besides Gregory Peck)? What prompted this combo?

There used to be conversations about old-time actors as superheroes on the AOL DC forums over 10 years ago. As to who Superman would be...I have art of that, too. It'll be up eventually.

Everyone knows Donald O'Connor was Batman.

Always saw O'Connor as Ralph Dibny, personally. And that's not a joke.

Worlds Finest by Scott McDaniel Batman and Superman
Owner: Brian Jones

Comment posted on 6/11/2011

Gal Schwartz said:
Powerful piece ! McDaniel is on a roll with his recent commissions and yours really turned out great ! I'd love to see this one inked too... Maybe also by a non conventional McDaniel inker...

When thinking about inkers I'd like to see McDaniel paired with, Randy Emberlin immediately sprang to mind. He'd rock the house inking this gem.

Marvin the Martian as Green Lantern...the hijinks pretty much write themselves. This would make a fun Looney Tunes short.

World's Finest by Adam Warren
Owner: Dave Takahashi

Comment posted on 12/25/2010
Wow, Warren's Batman costume design is a thousand times better than what they're using in the movies! This is what a live-action Batman SHOULD look like!

Cir-El/Supergirl by Chris Moreno
Owner: Andreas G

Comment posted on 10/25/2010
I wouldn't have minded Cir-El so much if she hadn't been such a transparent excuse for DC to trot out the "Lois Lane is an abusive wife" card yet again. Cir-El was never a character so much as a cheap plot device. Having said that, this art is really funny, and it sums up Cir-El in a nutshell.

Superman #705 Cover by John Cassaday Grounded
Owner: Andreas G

Comment posted on 10/24/2010
Superman's really getting his Bela Lugosi on, isn't he?

Curt Swan Superman
Owner: mark ou

Comment posted on 7/9/2010
Interesting. You normally don't see a Swan-drawn Superman that looks this youthful. He normally went as George Reeves in the face as possible. This younger-looking Superman is an unusual change of pace.

Gene Colan - Jesus Christ Inks
Owner: Dave Gutierrez

Comment posted on 6/27/2010
As I said on the owner's profile, I'm getting a very strong KING OF KINGS vibe off this art. The interpretation of Jesus is very evocative of Jeffrey Hunter. Not a bad thing by any means, as KING OF KINGS is probably the best Jesus biopic there's ever been or ever will be.

Jesus Christ
Owner: Cyril Kvas

Comment posted on 6/27/2010
This is a very interesting illustration. It reminds me a lot of the Jesus biopic KING OF KINGS with Jeffrey Hunter (perhaps the very best filmed version of Jesus' life).

Amazing Spider Man#100 Reinterpation Inks
Owner: Michael Gowcharan

Comment posted on 6/13/2010
JR Jr. really benefits from inkers with super-clean, ultra-polished styles. I remember seeing his raw pencil sketches of Thor in preparation for the ongoing and was stunned by how razor-sharp his linework was. Then I saw the Thor art inked by Tim Townsend and Mark Farmer and I went from being iffy on JR Jr. to being a fan. (Then Klaus Janson inked the actual book and it didn't look anywhere near as good.) The cleaner the inks on his pencils, the better it looks. And I would add Vines to the list of people who really make his work sing.

Spider-man vs Superman
Owner: Mark Spears

Comment posted on 6/9/2010
I can just imagine Spider-Man right now: "Shut up, Boy Scout! I'll make as many deals with the devil as I want to, dammit!" And of course, Superman's not taking any of it seriously.

He-Man
Owner: Darryl Banks

Comment posted on 5/22/2010
::Daffy Duck voice:: And it's MINE, you understand? Mine! All mine! Thank you once again for easily the best He-Man art I've seen in years. Not to mention the very best sketch I got at Motor City Con this year.
