Marv (Times 2) by Flaviu Pop!
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 a two Marvs by Flaviu Pop.

Rocky at 50 by John Beatty!
I was diggin’ through the Zablo vault and came across this sketch of Sly Stalloneas Rocky at 50 that John Beatty gifted me waaay back in 1998. John was just messing around with no reference. I love the looseness of the lower part of this sketch. Contrast that with the upper piece that John tightened up. It’s cool to see the foundation and thought process as an artist as he/she moves through a piece.
Who knew that eight years later Sly would make Rocky Balboa? Maybe Beatty did!
“Bitter Root: The Next Movement” by David F. Walker, Chuck Brown & Sanford Greene – Preorders Available Now!
I am a huge fan of Bitter Root by David F. Walker, Chuck Brown and Sanford Greene. So you’d be right to think that picking up Bitter Root Volume 4: The Next Movement is a no-brainer. Here’s the lowdown…
A Lie built a House of Oppression. The Bitter Truth will burn it down.
It is 1964, the height of the Civil Rights Movement. A group of activists have gone missing, and a new generation of the Sangerye family must face a menace far worse than anything their ancestors ever encountered. The monstrous jinoo—creatures born out of hate and racism—have evolved into a threat that few people are willing to acknowledge, and even fewer know how to fight.
A bold new chapter in the epic saga of the multiple Eisner Award-winning series collects BITTER ROOT: THE NEXT MOVEMENT #1-5.
Pre-orders for the October 28, 2025 release are available now.
Deal me in.
Jack Carter & Massimo Miller – Rich Hennemann Goes Full Tilt!
Rich Hennemann is a freelance artist. A few years ago I picked up his sketchbook and a sketch and I was hooked. Since then I’ve gotten several sketches from Rich. The one above is my most recent.
I requested Sly Stallone as Jack Carter teamed with Massimo Miller from Jason Copland’s FULL TILT (which gets my highest recommendation!). Rich came through like he always does. He absolutely nailed the piece. Great likenesses, atmosphere, attitude and setting. I couldn’t be more pleased.
“The Creature from the Black Lagoon” by Francesco Francavilla!
Francesco Francavilla said he never gets tired of drawing The Creature from the Black Lagoon. And I never get tired of seeing the results.
Marv by Nacho Yunis A.!

Deathlok by Yevgeny Sokolov!
Deathlok has great potential for a new comic series, graphic novel, limited tv series or movie. The art above by Yevgeny Sokolov reminded me of that fact.
007 by Tim Sale!
I love to see artists draw characters that they’re not most associated with. This James Bond piece by Tim Sale is a great example.

“Claws Out!” by Chris Bachalo!
Some artists have such a unique style that it is instantly recognizable. Chris Bachalo is one.
Jack Carter & John Wick Share a Drink by Marc Lapierre!
Every year the Cartoon Art Museum does a fundraiser. Artists take on commissions with the funds raised going to support the Museum. It’s a great cause supported by exceptional artists who share their talents in an effort to support the Museum.
This year one of the two artists I commissioned was Marc Lapierre. As you can see, I asked for Stallone from Get Carter and Keanu Reeves as John Wick. Not only did Lapierre create an amazing drawing but added a captions for an unexpected payoff. Awesome job. Click on the photo above to see a biggie-sized version.
I cannot thank Marc Lapierre enough for this sweet addition to my Stallone art collection.
Meet the Cure! Sylvester Stallone is Cobra by Rich Henneman!
Rich Hennemann is a freelance artist. Once I picked up his sketchbook and a sketch, I was hooked. Since then I’ve gotten several sketches from Rich. This Sly as Cobra is one from my collection. There are more coming.
Sly Stallone is Robert Rath, Antonio Banderas is Miguel Baine & Julianne Moore is Electra in “Assassins” by Tariq Hasson!
I had never seen Tariq Hasson‘s art before. He was doing sketches at HeroesCon 2006 and I liked the results. Luckily I was able to get on Tariq’s sketch list. Tariq chose to draw Robert Rath from Assassins. What was even cooler was Tariq decided to add Miguel Bain (Antonio Banderas) and Electra (Julianne Moore) as well.
