That’s the Black Terror by Dan Brereton. He’s the protagonist of The Black Terror limited series that he and writers Beau Smith and Charles Dixon created in 1989 for Eclipse Comics.
That series is way overdue for a nice compilation.

The art above is Jack Rickard’s painting that was used as the cover for MAD #194 released in October 1977. Sly owned and proudly displayed the original for many years.

Sly Stallone is Jack Carter by Rags Morales!
I was able to get this awesome piece through a mail order commission. It was one of my best commission experiences ever. I was kept in regular communication as to my place on Rags list and the progress of the completed piece. It was mailed in secure packaging… and of course the piece itself is a beaut.
One of my favorite authors is S.A. Cosby. I highly recommend everything he’s written. Anyway, I was doing a search to see if Cosby’s next book had been announced. It has. I was surprised to find out it’s the third book in the Marvel Crime novel series. I wasn’t even aware that there was a Marvel Crime novel series.
Ah, but there is.
Here’s the lowdown on S.A. Cosby’s TRUTH TO POWER: A LUKE CAGE MARVEL CRIME NOVEL…
Luke Cage plays detective and super hero when he uncovers a conspiracy turning vulnerable Americans into unwitting pawns of a madman.
New York Times bestselling author S. A. Cosby (KING OF ASHES) writes an original crime novel starring Harlem’s unbreakable hero for the Marvel Crime thriller series for adult readers.
With advanced cybernetics showing up in the possession of low-level criminals, Luke Cage is hired to investigate a factory manufacturing medical devices in rural Virginia. Leaving Jessica Jones during a delicate moment in their relationship, he makes plans to travel south but is devastated to learn that a cousin who scoped out the plant for him has been found dead. The police report states it was an accident. But Luke has long known that official words are just that: words.
Fueled by guilt and vengeance, Luke arrives in Virginia and promises his aunt he’ll get to the bottom of things. But danger lurks in every living room, barroom, and country road of Majestic, and the local sheriff’s barely concealed prejudices are ready to boil to the surface. Even ordinary people seem to have no qualms about testing their might against the hero from New York City.
As Luke uncovers a conspiracy reaching to the county line and beyond, an persistent evil begins to take hold of the town, leaving Luke to hope that his unbreakable skin will protect him long enough to protect others and bring an end to the hate threatening to engulf the nation.
TRUTH TO POWER continues the Marvel Crime series that began with Lisa Jewell’s BREAKING THE DARK and Alex Segura’s ENEMY OF MY ENEMY. Bringing fans into a grittier, street-level side of the Marvel Universe, Marvel Crime novels build on one another but can be enjoyed as stand-alone reads and will thrill even those new to the Marvel Universe.

I love this Wolverine by Rudy Ao. I’ll bet you do as well.

I dig everything about this werewolf art by J. Beers. When I was a little kid, the wolfman was my favorite movie monster. I was also a fan of the Werewolf by Night comics — often with great Mike Ploog art. Turns out that J. Beers is as well.

Check out Thobias Daneluz’s cool alt poster for Rocky. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say i again, it would be so cool to see Thobias adapt all of the Rocky films. Well, one can dream, right? Check out Thobias’ Instgram to see more of his art.

I’d been a fan of Ryan Kelly’s art for some time. When I saw that he was taking mail order commissions, I jumped on board. I requested Sly Stallone as Rocky Balboa. Kelly delivered a knockout. This is my second commission from Ryan Kelly. I hope it’s not my last.

Every art collector should have at least one piece from Dan Panosian in their collection. The Rocky sketch above is my third. Hopefully a fourth is in my future.
