Like Juan Ramos (who created this alt poster), I am a fan of The Descent. Ramos said he created this piece to “celebrate one of horror’s most claustrophobic, brutal, and unforgettable journeys”.
Mission accomplished!
“Hey, there’s something down here…” – Holly
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.
I love this Wolverine by Rudy Ao. I’ll bet you do as well.
Doaly came up with this very creative alt poster for A Quiet Place: Day One. I love it. Hope you do as well. Click on the art to see a bigger version.
Stay quiet. Stay alive. – Tagline
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 Marv by Jason Shawn Alexander.
Leo Leibelman is a freelance artist who has provided art for comics, trading cards, novels, instructional materials, film storyboards and more. Leo Leibelman takes commissions.
How cool is that that Leibelman chose to paint Greystoke, The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes? Such a cool, underated movie, that deserves more recognition!
“Listen to me John. How many other white apes have you seen? You’re like me, not them. You have another family, far away, one you have never seen.” – Capitaine Phillippe D’Arnot
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.
“Yo Adrian, it’s me Rocky.” – Rocky Balboa
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.
True Romance is such an under-rated film. I love that Matt Taylor has created an alt poster worthy of it!
“If there’s one thing this last week has taught me, it’s better to have a gun and not need it than to need a gun and not have it.” – Clarence Worley
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 Marv and Nancy by Eric Canate.
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.
“I just wanna say one thing to my wife who’s home: YO, ADRIAN! I DID IT!” — Rocky
