J. O’Barr is Skinning the Wolves

Posted on by

J. O’Barr is writing and doing the art layouts [with finishes by Jim Terry]  for a new Crow three issue mini-series called Skinning the Wolves.  Set in a concentration camp in the darkest hours of World War II, the story…

  • investigates a world where the dark harbinger of vengeance is dispatched in response to one of history’s greatest atrocities and the ultimate evil that perpetrated it.

I’ve been a J. O’Barr fan since the original Crow mini-series debuted back in the pages of Caliber Presents.  Although I bought almost every Crow mini-series that followed it, something was always missing. Usually it was J. O’Barr.  I’m glad to see he’s back with story and layouts and will give it a shot!

Thanks to CBR.com for the original link.


Alexis Ziritt and Rambo

Posted on by


Alexis Ziritt makes his first appearance in my Stallone Theme Sketch Collection. Alexis is the co-founder of Fistful Apparel and the indie comics co-op Calavera Comics. When I saw that Alexis was taking sketch card commissions, I decided to get on board for a couple. I asked Alexis to pick two from Jack Carter, John Rambo and Cobra. Alexis liked the theme and decided to do all three.

 

X-Men 133 Not #1??

Posted on by

I was checking out CBR.com’s Top Five Most Iconic Wolverine Covers and couldn’t believe that Byrne and Austin’s cover for X-Men 133 not only wasn’t #1, but it didn’t even make the list?

Are you kidding me?

This issue is not only iconic, but was one of the most anticipated comics ever!  The storyline had been set up for 133 to focus on Wolverine’s single-handed rescue of the team from the Hellfire Club.

X-Men 133 didn’t even make the list?

C’mon, man!

 

Francavilla’s Black Beetle is Coming!

Posted on by

If, like me, you’re a fan of Francesco Francavilla’s art and stories, you’ll be happy to hear that his character the Black Beetle will premiere in his first mini-series starting in January.  It’ll be called No Way Out.

If you just can’t wait until January, this December the three part Black Beetle story, Night Shift, will be collected into a single volume.

Big congrats to Francesco!

Boatwright & Carter’s Explosive Return

Posted on by

Thomas Boatwright makes an explosive return with Jack Carter!

If you’d like to see more of Thomas Boatwright’s art check out his blog and his DA site. Send him some love.

If you get commissions, you should consider a piece from Thomas. He keeps you totally in the loop on his progress, finishes his commissions on or ahead of schedule, has very reasonable prices, is a fantastic artist and always gives you more than you’re expecting! – Craig

Mike Torrance Takes Aim at Jack Carter

Posted on by

Mike Torrance aka The Krayola Kidd may have done more Jack Carter drawings than anyone else in my collection. Perhaps he enjoys drawing the character as much as I do getting the pieces.

You can see more of Mike’s art at The Daily Sketch with The Krayola Kidd (and if you’ve never checked out Mike’s site, you ought to if only to see his Walking Dead cards!) and his Deviant Art site. Mike is available for commissions and his prices are very reasonable.


Scene of the Crime

Posted on by

You know I’m diggin’ that Scene of the Crime cover by Michael Lark and Sean Phillips.  It’s for a new, over-sized hardcover reprint of the crime/noir graphic story that Lark and Phillips did with writer, Ed Brubaker.

Scene of the Crime will be out on November 14th, but you should let your local comic shop manager know now.

Mike Torrance aka The Krayola Kidd is back and he brought Jack Carter with him – both of them. Mike surprised me with this clever take on “Get Carter” at Heroes Con. Mike outdid himself with this one!
