Submariner Triumphant by Kerry Gammill!
I first saw Kerry Gammill’s Submariner drawing above about 50 years ago. I loved it then and love it now. The art appeared in TCP Vol. 2 #3 way back in 1976. My buddy, John Beatty introduced me to the world of fanzines and this issue of TCP was one of my favorites.

Sly Stallone is Cobra by Joe Dellagatta!
I am a huge fan of Joe Dellagatta’s art. You can imagine my surprise to find out I never posted this piece I was lucky enough to get from him way back in 2016. It is so cool to see Sly Stallone as Cobra in Dellagatta’s unique style.
Mike Mignola’s “Blade 2” Storyboards!
Blade 2 is my favorite movie of the Blade franchise. It’s also one of my favorite horror movies. Most folks know it was directed by Guillermo del Toro. Not as many realize that del Toro’s artist on the storyboards was none other than Hellboy creator, Mike Mignola. Below are some examples.
Guillermo del Toro and Mike Mignola would reteam two years later for the movie adaptation of Hellboy.
A book of Mignola’s storyboards would be a welcome addition to my book shelf.

“Dylan Dog: Dead of Night” (2010) starring Brandon Routh, Sam Huntington, Anita Briem, Peter Stormare, and Taye Diggs / Z-View
Dylan Dog: Dead of Night (2010)
Director: Kevin Munroe
Screenplay: Thomas Dean Donnelly, Joshua Oppenheimer; based on Dylan Dog by Tiziano Sclavi
Stars: Brandon Routh, Sam Huntington, Anita Briem, Peter Stormare, Taye Diggs, Mitchell Whitfield, Laura Spencer, Laura Spencer, Marco St. John, Kyle Clements and Kurt Angle.
Tagline: Living investigator. Undead clients. Zombie partner.
The Plot…
Dylan Dog at one time fought the things that go bump in the night. He gave it up when his wife was killed by vampires. Since then Dylan has worked as a private eye on normal cases.
That all changes when Elizabeth Ryan comes to Dylan for help. Her father was killed by something strange. Now Dylan is back… and the case will bring him into contact with vampires, werewolves, zombies and something worse.
Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…
One of the vampires is named Sclavi. Tiziano Sclavi created Dylan Dog.
At one point a character calls Dylan Dog, “Superman”. Brandon Routh who plays Dylan Dog of course played Superman in an earlier film.
Dylan Dog: Dead of Night leans a bit more into comedy than I’d prefer. Even still I would have liked to have seen a sequel.
Dylan Dog: Dead of Night (2010) rates 2 of 5 stars.

Doug Dabbs Makes Sly Stallone Expendable!
I first met Doug Dabbs in 2011 at Heroes Con. I was heading out from the show and saw his art. If there had been time, I’d have got a sketch on the spot.
I told Doug I would get a piece from him in 2012 and I did. Two in fact. This piece is Doug’s take on Sly as Barney Ross from The Expendables. I love Dabb’s use of white and negative space, plus his figure work is on point.

Sly Stallone as Rambo by Jarrod “The Yardsale Artist” Alberich!
Jarrod Alberich aka The Yard Sale Artist created the Sly Stallone as Rambo piece for pick-up at HeroesCon. I’ve known Jarrod for years. He’s a fun guy and an easy artist to deal with.
Jarrod calls himself The Yard Sale Artist because he uses materials that he finds at yard sales, thrift stores and so on. When Jarrod comes across books that with torn covers, missing pages, etc., instead of discarding them, he repurposes the pages for art. This drawing came from a Rambo movie adaptation novel.
