Wolverine looks a little too happy with whatever he’s about to do. Another great piece by Dan Panosian!

I’m always ready to check out a vintage sketch by Frank Miller. So today we have his riff on Daredevil and Thor!

I met Rafael Kayanan at an OrlandoCon. He had an amazing art portfolio with him. You could tell this kid was destined for great things. He was about 15 years old.
Raf became not only an exceptional artist (working for Marvel, DC, Dark Horse and many other companies) but also a Master-level edged weapons expert and instructor in Sayoc Kali. Raf has choreographed and trained actors for feature films and television. He has served as set illustrator and story board artist on Broadway and major motion pictures. In other words, Raf can do it all.

Deathlok is a character that has a lot of potential. He’s been around for 50 years. Maybe it’s time for a resurgence. The thing that got me thinking about this is the drawing above by Rich Buckler, the creator of Deathlok.

Hellboy is such a cool character. And what could be better than Hellboy drawn by his creator, Mike Mignola.

Marv from Frank Miller’s Sin City is one of my all-time favorite characters. I love seeing artists do their “take” on the big lug. Today we have Marv by David Williams.
I was always a fan of anything drawn by Neal Adams, but his Conan pieces deserve special recognition. Click on the photo to see a spear-worthy-sized version.

Anyone else remember when Dave Johnson used to do con sketches on cardboard stock? Here’s a cool one (they all were actually) of Lono and Dizzy from 100 Bullets.

It didn’t take Adam Hughes long to become known as THE artist for great women drawings. Of course Adam can draw, pencil, ink, paint and color anything. Here’s a vintage sketch that shows how he developed that reputation.

Paul Gulacy is best known for his work on Master of Kung Fu with Doug Moench. It was the series that kept me in comics when I hit the age where girls and sports became more important. But today we’re not looking at Shang Chi. Instead we have a Gulacy painting of a cowboy sheriff (Clint Eastwood?).

I was lucky to collect comics when John Byrne was king. Anything the man drew (and later write) was an automatic purchase. My favorite Byrne character was Wolverine. Just look at the smirk on Logan’s face!

Conan’s popularity is on the upswing. The folks in charge need to get Michael Golden to do some covers, pinups, and if we can dream, a story.
The drawing above is one of my all-time favorite Michael Golden pieces. Take a gander at that and tell me you don’t want to see more Golden Conan art!
Dan Panosian’s cover for Sanction caught my eye. So I took a closer look. Here’s the lowdown…
Sanction is by Ray Fawkes (Author, Creator), Mark Irwin (Creator), Antonio Fuso (Illustrator), Emilio Lecce (Colorist) and Dave Sharpe (Letterer).
To catch a rampaging serial killer in Soviet era Leningrad, two detectives must match wits with the murderer while battling the oppressive rules of their own police force and a greater, hidden enemy.
Leningrad, 1987. When a woman’s corpse is discovered on New Year’s Day, a hungover Detective Pavel Smirnoff hands off the case to his partner, Detective Boris Dimitrovich, hoping he’ll close it without fuss. Instead, Dimitrovich uncovers a connection to an old, unsolved crime, dragging them both into an investigation that puts their careers – and possibly their lives – at risk.
