Blessed goddess! Mein gott! Lenin’s Ghost! Oh my stars and garters!
Yeah, it's ok, if you want a memorable image...from an iconic series...by a legendary creator...but who would ever want that? ;) Thanks for sharing!
Killer pencil work of a killer character, by a killer artist. It's just so...uh, killer! Thanks for sharing such a killer piece of art.
Brittney Lee did such a lovely job depicting Carol and Max!
and to think the book was considered too scary and dark by some. The book even has the honor of being banned!
Jaw dropping! Get it? Because he's missing his...<cricket sounds>...<the sound of someone clearing their throat>...<more cricket sounds>...is this mic on?
What a great rendition! Thanks for sharing, BRB!
You sound like a bad-ass dude with great artistic tastes! I can't think of a better artist to depict the Main Man than that beast of an artist Biz!
Full octane, bastich! My main man Biz has it turned to 11 all day, EVERY friggin' day!!!
Zounds! By Crom! Holy Moley! Oh, my stars and garters! Oh, Sweet Christmas! By the Hoary Hosts of Hoggoth! Holy smokes! I am Groot!
Holey Moley! The Big Red Cheese appears to have his hands full! What a wonderful commission.
Well, SHAZAM!!!! That's a wonderful piece. Thanks for sharing.
Such an imaginative, delicate, and disturbing image. What more can you ask for from a work by James Jean? I can only imagine what a sight it is to behold in person. Thanks for sharing such a gem!
Ooooo! Moody! Thanks for sharing such a superb rendition of Erica Slaughter.
A big, vintage Jim Lee drawing of Rogue and Gambit?! C'est incroyable! C'est magnifique! Merci pour le partage.
Wonderful prelims of happier times! They are so exquisite. I wish he did more interior work.
Those pesky parademons don't stand a chance against a super escape artist and the leader of the female furies!
What a knock out page from the historic first issue! This was the beginning of so many memorable characters and stories that to this day resonate with so many. Thank you for sharing.
An amazing page from an incredible issue of a monumental series. Issue 12 was such a memorable, but brutal issue. I still remember picking up the issue on my lunch break when it originally came out. I was completely horrified by the cover featuring a beaten and bloodied Invincible. I forgot about lunch and I read the issue cover to cover absolutely stunned by the ending.
Whoa! A Cory Walker page from Invincible #1?! If you're looking for an amazing page from the first issue, this one checks that box! What a great start to 144 issues of the best comic in the universe, heh! Thanks for sharing.
What a beautiful Samnee commission. He swung for the fence and hit another homerrun! Thanks for sharing.
Jesus Murphy! What a beauty!
What an awesome vintage detailed pencil drawing by Paul Smith executed at the height of his artistic prowess on Uncanny X-Men. Look no further for one of (if not) the best PMS pencil drawings of Colossus and Wolverine. It looks in such remarkable condition, as if Paul put down his pencil 15 minutes ago. It was uncanny (yeah, I had to slip in that word) how his already beautiful art evolved over his run, culminating in some outstanding art in issue 175. Paul may have had a short run on the book, but he left a lasting impression. Oh, that stuff Claremont was doing with words and stuff was good too, I guess. ;)
Thanks for sharing such a wonderful drawing!
It was so fun being there and watching them do the drawing. All three of them were in artist alley sitting next to each other. Jim did the dynamic layout, passed it over to Whilce to do the fantastic finished pencils, who then passed it over to Scott to beautifully ink. It was as like a choreographed ballet, looked effortless. Pure magic!
Thanks for the insight. The process and output to create a daily strip is a fascinating process! Now, artists can digitally cut and paste images, in the 60s, one used a steady hand, scissors and glue!
I agree, as fan I sure would have preferred an entire strip to just part of a panel! I can't devine the thoughts going through Paul's mind when he received it, but I would have been absolutely excited to receive a reply with a drawing from Stan Drake, followed by being ever so slightly bewildered, and definitely fascinated by the fact it was part of a strip.
I'm not sure how robust of an original art market was in the 60s, but perhaps Stan thought of the value of the original art as contributing to the production process and not having as much value on its own and as such, felt comfortable cutting up original strips to serve other purposes?
Black bars added to protect the faint of heart. Also, added an image without out the black bars for those brave enough to take in those elbow tips in all their glory under additional images...if they dare!
Perhaps I should activate the NSFW filter? I wouldn't want to offend anyone's delicate sensibilities?
Yes. The bends to the postcard were present when it sold. The way I awkwardly lighted the postcard to take the picture is accentuating the bends. Check out the additional images for a picture where I lighted it differently.
Based on the very limited information I could get from the seller of the collection, the collection stopped in the early 80s with Marilyn.
If the many drawings in his collection are any indication, Paul's obsession was broad and varied. There appears to be an emphasis on comic strip artists, but also included artists that created editorial art for the newspapers of the day and artists who's work was showcased in the popular magazines, like The New Yorker, Playboy and Mad.
I remember picking up this issue at my local comic shop when it came out! The best $1.50 I ever spent! Readers knew they were going to get an absolute thrill ride, that started before even cracking open the issue with the insane wrap around cover and a story so epic, it couldn't be contained in a single issue!
You just can't go wrong with pages from this book and X-Men Annual #9! Both issues were instant classics, especially NMS1, with its excellent writing by longtime x-book scribe Chris Claremont, phenomenally powerful pencils by Arthur Adams and inks by the absolute LEGEND Terry Austin (sure, others helped out on inking chores, but Austin inked the lion's share).
Oksner had a gift for drawing women, whether their name was Kara, Mary, Lois, Diana, Angel, Peggy, Millie, Patsy, Cairo, Janie or Beverly, just to name a few!
Whoa! You do not want to be on the receiving end of those claws! What a great choice for a Jim Lee commission. Thanks for sharing.
And the art and humor hold up! I still recommend it to friends and strangers (when they don't run away from me)!
His work exudes humor and he made it all seem so effortless in his works as "I Die at Midnight", "You Are Here" and in his masterpiece, "Why I Hate Saturn". His early work in "Marvel Age" with his single panel cartoon "It's Genetic" was always hilarious whenever it made an appearance!
In terms of Timm drawings, I think the following MJ quote aptly applies "Face it, Tiger...you just hit the jackpot."
Behind those glasses is more anxiety, insecurity and self-consciousness than you can shake a stick at! It makes for such an interesting character!
It's such a funny story. I'm certainly not objective, but IMO every page in the book is comedic genius. GENIUS!!!
So many of his books are so good! Some of his stories I still enjoy rereading are "I Die at Midnight", "You Are Here" and "The Cowboy Wally Show".
Bloom County was such a great strip! You can never go wrong with a Bloom County strip featuring Opus and Steve Dallas. Thanks for sharing!
