Sly Stallone as Superman by Adam Hughes!
When I got my first sketch from Adam Hughes, I simply told him I wanted Sylvester Stallone and he could pick the character he wanted to draw. Adam surprised me with his knowledge that there was talk of Sly playing Superman. I love the art (how could I not, it’s Adam Hughes!) and the quote with the caption is icing on the cake!
“Fistful of Yen” Character Posters by Renton Hawkey!
The other day I shared the Fistful of Yen poster that Renton Hawkey created to promote his new FREE comic on Substack. It blew up (and rightly so) as more people became aware of the story that he is creating. Hawkey recently shared these two character sketches and gave some back story on Fistful of Yen. This is gonna be fun!
Marv from SIN CITY by Seth Damoose!
If I was forced to pick my all-time favorite comic character it would probably be Marv from Frank Miller’s Sin City. I love seeing other artists’ riff on Marv. Above we have Seth Damoose’s take. I could get behind a Seth Damoose Sin City tale. If you’d like to see more of Seth Damoose’s art, check out his Instagram page.

BRYNMORE from Steve Niles & Daniel Worm is Coming!
Steve (30 Days of Night) Niles is reuniting with Daniel Worm for Brynmore. The two had previously collaborated on October Faction. This is one to keep an eye on. Here’s the lowdown…
In Brynmore, the recently divorced and newly sober Mark Turner returns to his hometown of Turner Island hoping to rebuild his shattered life and rekindle a relationship with his estranged daughter, Sophie. Planning to renovate the town’s dilapidated church into a home for himself, Mark’s dreams of a second chance soon begin to crumble as he encounters hostility from the locals and finds himself enmeshed in a dark and sinister legacy of intrigue dating back to when the island was first named after his ancestors. Locked in battle with malefic forces beyond his control, Mark must work to uncover the island’s dark history while keeping himself and Sophie safe from harm—and staying away from the bottle in the process.

THE PHANTOM – The Man Who Cannot Die!
Bottleneck Gallery posted The Phantom print above as well as another (with variants of both) by Henrik Sahlstrom. Seeing these posters took me back to my childhood. For a brief time I was a fan of The Phantom. He appeared in a comic strip in my local newspaper (Terre Haute Tribune-Star).
The Phantom was created by Lee Falk. The first Phantom newspaper strip appeared on February 17, 1936. The Phantom wore the purple costume you see in the art by Sahlstrom. In the series, set in the fictional country of Bangalla, Africa, Christopher Walker was the first Phantom who took on the hero identity when his father was killed by pirates. Walker passed the identity down to his son and so it went with each new generation. The Phantom became known as “The Ghost Who Walks” and “The Man Who Cannot Die”. Although he has no super powers, the Phantom is smart and strong. He lives in a cave that looks like a skull with his pet wolf, Devil.
Over the years, The Phantom has been adapted from the newspaper strips to comic books, movie serials, animated series, a live-action series and a feature film! At it’s peak The Phantom newspaper strip reportedly had an audience of over 100 million readers daily. Even more amazing is the fact that the strip is still being published today! The Phantom is truly the man who cannot die!
