This Big Boss print by Jock is a thing of beauty. If you like this, you might want to check out The Art of Jock.
Paul Gulacy’s Original Art is Groovy
Diversions of the Groovy Kind posted Peerless Paul Gulacy Original Art and it is worth a look. If you click over (and you should) you’ll see Paul’s black and white originals for Master of Kung Fu, Morbius the Living Vampire and a Logan’s Run cover.
Marv from Sin City by Eduardo Risso!
Yesterday we posted that Frank Miller’s 300 prequel premieres in April of this year. While I’m excited about Xerxes: The Fall of the House of Darius and the Rise of Alexander, I’d really love to see Miller return with a new Sin City yarn.
Sure, Sin City is Miller’s baby. He writes, pencils, inks and letters every page of every issue. So a new Sin City tale is probably a long, long way off. However, if Miller ever decides to let another artist in on the action, I’d vote for Eduardo Risso, the cat who did the Marv drawing above.
FRANK MILLER’S 300 PREQUEL PREMIERES THIS APRIL!
Frank Miller’s 300 prequel is finally set for release and premieres this April of this. Xerxes: The Fall of the House of Darius and the Rise of Alexander is a 5 issue mini-series that drops on April 4th.
IGN has a nice little video interview with Miller that brings us up to speed.
Batman vs Joker – A 2018 Drawing by Frank Miller
The Bristol Board posted a much larger version of this recent Frank Miller drawing of The Dark Knight vs The Joker. I’m glad to see a new Miller drawing and that he seems to have reined it in a bit.
Comics Deserving Hardback Collections
Ol’ Groove from Diversions of the Groovy Kind posted his choices for 10 Groovy Age Comics That Need To Be Collected.
One of his choices was The Best of Marvel Premiere. Monark Starstalker created, written and drawn by Howard Chaykin appeared in issue 32. Another Chaykin creation, Dominic Fortune, appeared in issue 56.
This got me to thinking about how much I’d like to see a collection of Chaykin’s Dominic Forturne appearances. Surely there’s a market for that!
And while we’re at it, I’d like to see hardback collections of…
- Black Terror by Beau Smith & Chuck Dixon and Dan Brereton
- Scout by Tim Truman (A definitive collection)
- MOKF – the Moench / Gulacy issues
- Black Cross by Chris Warner
Cosa Nostra by Dirk Manning and Dan Dougherty
“You’re going to help me find out who killed me whether you like it or not, brother o’ mine…”
Dirk Manning‘s latest newsletter featured 9 comic projects coming in 2018. Manning writes in a lot of genres but this mash-up of crime with a supernatural twist appealed most to me. Cosa Nostra written by Manning with art by Dan Dougherty is scheduled to debut at the end of May at Cherry Capital Comic Con. This is one to watch for.

BRUCE LEE: WALK OF THE DRAGON
We have enough Bruce Lee fans who check in here that I wanted to give a heads-up that Darby Pop has a Bruce Lee comic coming out in March. Bruce Lee: Walk of the Dragon is a one-shot. Here’s how it is described…
BRUCE LEE WALK OF THE DRAGON ONE SHOT
(W) Shannon Lee, Jeff Kline, Nicole Dubuc (A) Brandon McKinney, Zac Atkinson (CA) John Haun
Philosopher/teacher/real-life superhero Bruce Lee is back. And, let’s be honest, the world needs him now more than ever. Taking a brief respite from battling an otherworldly evil, Bruce Lee attempts to navigate modern-day Southern California despite still suffering from amnesia and having been “out of the loop” for over 45 years. Unfortunately, what was supposed to be a simple “lunch run” soon turns into a comedy of errors involving mistaken identity, a Film Festival,” and the pokey. And despite never being one to initiate fisticuffs, Bruce continues to find it difficult to both hide his martial arts skills – and keep his shirt on.

Shang-Chi by Paul Gulacy & John Beatty
Today we have Shang-Chi pencilled by Paul Gulacy and inked by my brother from another mother, John Beatty. This is another vintage piece from the late 70’s – early 80’s.
Batman & Manbat by Marshall Rogers & John Beatty!
Today we have Batman pencilled by Marshall Rogers and inked by my best bud, John Beatty. I’m fairly sure this was done in 1980, but for sure no later than 1983.
Tune in tomorrow and I’ll show you something else from the vault.
Vintage Mitch O’Connell Batman Art!
I was recently diggin’ around the Zablo vault and found some things that I thought might be of interest to folks who swing by here.
Yesterday, I posted a Batman pin-up pencilled by Marshall Rogers and inked by Mitch O’Connel which I’m pretty sure appeared in Mitch’s fanzine,. Lollapalooza.
Today we have two pieces by Mitch. The first is the index to an issue of Mitch’s Lollapolooza. Below we have Mitch’s riff on Batman from the same time period.
Tune in tomorrow and I’ll show you something else from the vault.
Batman by Marshall Rogers and Mitch O’Connell
I was recently diggin’ around the Zablo vault and found some things that I thought might be of interest to folks who swing by here.
Today we have Batman pencilled by Marshall Rogers and inked by Mitch O’Connell way back in 1978. I’m pretty sure the piece was published in Mitch’s fanzine,. Lollapalooza. Ah, the glory days (at least for me) of fandom.
Tune in tomorrow and I’ll show you something else from the vault.
The Monkees Guest Star in The Archies
The nine-year-old me would be pretty excited about The Monkees appearing in an issue of The Archies. What’s amazing to me is that 50 years later, it’s happening. Check out Flickering Myth if you’re interested in the details.
