This is a great, moody page from a beautifully illustrated story.  Love the different perspective of Bats going about his business.  Dave Taylor was a master of rendering in pencil, sadly taken from us much too soon.  

Classic, crazy Cap combo.  But there's plenty of room for more art!  Add some McNiven and Gigzilla to create a jam piece for the ages!

The contrast of Natasha's black costume with her flowing red hair is masterfully rendered.  This Widow towers over the competition.  Congrats!

Love Willingham's art dating back to his work for TSR on D&D, and I also bought Elementals when it first came out.  This is a great piece with all the main characters.  Love how the pencils contrast with his vibrant paint work, creating a dramatic effect.  Cool how only the good guys are in color too.  

Must be using the power ring to make that costume stay in place. Wait, she's not wearing a ring??!?  Also, surprising her underwear isn't regulation green color.  Very naughty  ;)

Quite possibly my all-time favorite Gigzilla piece.  He really went the extra mile on this mystery sketch!  Love all the details, especially the background topo and sky.  A really fun concept, wonderfully executed.  

Who doesn't love Manix's style? And although a night time scene here, his use of color is brilliant as usual. A very memorable, evocative image indeed.

Amazing early Mignola page. Love that last panel especially. The spikes of the palm trees blend with the alien silhouettes to create a very creepy, menacing effect.  

Observed this one being created on one of the live Mystery Sketch webcasts, and the finished product does not disappoint!  Sonja's red hair really stands out against the muted wash background.  Congrats!

A beautiful and mysterious mystery sketch witch.  Love the details on her face, and the color selections really work well here.

This Magickal Mystery sketch is my favorite of the current crop that has been posted to CAF so far. A very nice homage to Sienk indeed!

Probably the best single page from Blighty Valley!  Classic future war Nu-Earth battle action approach. Beautifully rendered black hole and Norty spaceship invasion.  Bonus getting the bio-chips conversing amongst themselves.  Not to mention, Goddard draws a cracking Rogue.  Congrats!

Truly a fantastic page.  Love the panel design overlaying the large splash image with various elements merging between.  Typical of O'Neill's work, there are so many intricate details to see all around the page. And the final panel is just a belter!  Genius how he combines the platform they're standing on with a dead creature below.

This is a fantastic piece of art from Mignola's prime.  Love how the tentacles and flowers appear both inside and outside of the framed portrait, lending an aura of beauty and menace to the overall picture.  Of course Mike's powerful use of black inks accentuate the overall effect.  Congrats on obtaining a grail!

Love this page.  You can almost feel the fear and intimidation brought on by Batman's dramatic appearance, magnified by the heavy use of black.  The curtain is falling!

Really cool that you were able to meet O'Neill and get this awesomely strange GL sketch.  Wracking my brain trying to remember if this guy ever appeared in one of his "controversial" GL Corps issues. Would certainly fit right in....

This is an amazingly executed homage.  Properly respectful but also with trademark humor.  Feels like Manix was meant to draw Tintin. 

Is this blue line?  Is that a stat?  Do I see original tape?  So many questions.... Regardless, it's a very nice piece of art.  Head in a jar!  Mr. Freeze is one of the best Bat-villains.  #AYKM?

I love Mignola's underwater scenes, as he seems to relish drawing fish and tentacles, etc.  His chiaroscuro technique is highly effective at conveying the menacing situation, especially in the large 2nd panel. Great page!

This is a really beautiful page.  Cool the way Yeates draws the water.  Love the shoreline features and the seagulls and of course the lovely ladies too.

It was great to meet you at Comic Con, and I could tell you were excited to nab this piece.  It really is cool, with all the main characters.  Congrats!

Really nice details on this "sketch" and Kitty has never looked better.  Lockheed appears properly ferocious and cute at the same time.  Much like Kitty herself!  Congrats

Excellent, unique take on Sonja.  Nice use of color making her red hair stand out against a cloudy background.  Her physique appears less curvy than other renditions, but still looks like she means business!

Agree this is cover worthy!  Excellent portrayal of brooding Logan in an old pickup truck with a rural background.  Has a definite Paul Pope vibe to it.  Congrats!

Excellent, creepy take on Mortis. His skinny, bird-like frame with oversized claws convey a sinister menace.  Ink wash used to very nice effect indeed.  

Is Spidey jamming with the Dead? Or perhaps Hendirix Star-Spangled Banner along with accompanying fireworks?  Either way, a nicely-rendered piece. Congrats!

Really nice imagery. I like the textural linework and shading technique. Cool how the bird blends into the clock, and the cow skull frames the landscape. Evokes the old west, yet contrasting with modern weapons. 

We, in our present life, knew that the stars were right.
That if you were the first to go, you'd leave a sign to let me know.

Me in my sorry plight.  Jean waiting every night.
Your face turns deathly pale, talking to me through a veil.
I hear you wail....

So please, carry the lantern high!

Looks like a nice clean cut -- definitely not the claws -- perhaps a guillotine?

Stunningly powerful piece. Love how the Gothic spires complement and accentuate the sword in the stone (Excalibur homage). Eerie cloudscape enhancing the scene as a muscular figure strides forward. I'm completely unfamiliar with this story but want to know what happens next!

Powerful imagery.  Even in silhouette, we know exactly who these characters are.  And they look ready for action!

I never read this series, but the cover really makes me want to do so. Our hero stands in the foreground with an evil menace lurking over the urban landscape behind. Guy Davis is fantastic, and it was a huge loss to the comics world when he decided to focus on movies.

Harren brings the power like none other!  And I don't think those BRICKS are going to stand up to the Rhino's force.  Very cool commission; hope you can get the rest of the S6 crew

Truly a stunning homage to the iconic CG by the multi-talented Sharona. Impressive alien haunches and thigh gap amidst a hauntingly desolate landscape, capturing and perhaps even surpassing the original's unquestionable greatness.

Classic, powerful, emblematic images of Bats and Gordon. Impressive use of silhouette. Background buildings are beautifully rendered. And the snow lends further gravity to the scene. My favorite 'Best of 2022' commission piece among some very strong contenders.

These are really great, but... conclusion??  So many unanswered questions.  Will our heroic duo encounter stormtroopers? Tusken Raiders? Maybe a couple of droids in the belly of the sandcrawler?  Surely the story must go on...!

;)

I'm also a soccer aficionado and have had a signed, numbered print of this piece on the wall since 1984. Cool to see that you have the original art!  Always thought the teams looked like Italy vs. Hungary 

An amazing cover and worth every penny.  A really cool LoJo image, plus a monster and the vril suit too.  Lots of energy on display here with some Mignola krackle.

This is just a beautiful image.  Love your Mack variant covers trifecta, but this one is my favorite.

Guess there must be something to that funny looking sword, eh?  Really nice page.  Powerful action, dramatic story-telling

Who could resist Nocturna?  Especially when drawn by Newton / Alcala.  Lovely indeed

This was a great era of Batman / Detective with Don Newton and Gene Colan alternating art duties.  And this is easily one the best splashes from the entire run.

Very claim-y indeed!  Or was it a doozy?  I can't remember which.  Either way, surely it can't be the last Comic Odyssey page we'll see on Dueling Dealers...?!??

Shai-Hulud!  Wonderful piece of art
