I've had a Spider-Man Joe Rubinstein pin-up in my CAF for some time already. I decided to digitally color and create an imaginary cover for Spidey's 50th anniversary 700th issue, paying homage to issue 300:

Then I had artist Mike DeCarlo ink over my fanboy pencils of a cover concept idea of Legion of Super-Heroes 38 (circa 2007). I never really liked the original cover by Bill Sienkewicz because it didn't tell the story of what's inside. DeCarlo was the original inker of the series, so it was a great commission to do 25 years later.

I also got what I feel is one of the ultimate Curt Swan Superman splash pages! I just love this piece of art!

I just loved the image and felt it was quintessential Curt Swan that I felt like digitally coloring it and making it into another imaginary concept cover. Here are the digital colors:

If you have missed my previous update about indulging in a guilty pleasure, here it is - Howard Porter and Mike DeCarlo merchandising/licensee style art from 1998:

Someday when I do have time, I will digitally color the above art and convert it into an imaginary cover of some sort.

 

I also update additional images on my Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez Superman Style Guide art after I obtained more information through an eBay listing. I realized this was the cover of that style guide. http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=832891&GSub=122141

 

Yes the above is the art swiped by Andy Kaufman, sold for thousands of dollars, and which I started a thread about here a few months back.

 

Enjoy these updates!

By no means were these aquired recently, but it occurred to me that I hadn't posted this where the real fans can see it. The FF 98 page on the far right was purchased after one of the most enjoyable nights of my whole (hobby) life.

I posted my adventures this weekend in Boston on another thread, but thought I'd link to the art here, too.

Wanted to share some old convention sketches I found. The Laird inked Turtle is my favorite, unfortunately they have some foxing from poor storage conditions and there is some surface damage to the Larsen piece. Will be preserved from here on out. The show a lot better than the scans.

Luckily my favorite is also in the best shape.

Got a page from a Claremont / Byrne collaboration! Well, it's not the X-Men but I am a DC Comics guy:

 

Justice League of America 94 (2004) Page 15 featuring Wonder Woman by John Byrne and Jerry Ordway

Interesting to see the panels up close, just goes to show the detail and care put in by Byrne and Ordway:

I got that page since I was already ordering from the same dealer (Mr. Warden) who I got my first Jack Kirby art which I posted about elsewhere in this forum.

 

Super Powers (1985) Page 18 with Superman, Darkseid, Desaad, Martian Mahunter, Red Tornado, Wonder Woman and Firestorm by Jack Kirby

I love seeing large scans of individual panels. It really gives you an appreciation for the work of a good inker.
