Dave Wachter is Expendable, Too
Dave Wachter returns with his take on Sly from Expendables 2. I met Dave a few years ago and became an instant fan. I wasn’t the only one to discover Dave’s fantastic sketches! How can you not like a great guy who is a terrific artist? You can see more of Dave’s art at his site. – Craig
J. O’Barr is Skinning the Wolves
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
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??
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!
Jesse Munoz: Jack Carter – No Shades of Gray
Jesse Munoz makes a return appearance in my Stallone Theme Sketch Collection. Big thanks to Jesse for his excellent take on Sly as Jack Carter and for the quick response time. Not only did Jesse provide me with this black and white version but also this grayscale version as well. Jesse is a great choice if you collect sketches!
You can see more of Jesse’s art.

Moreno’s “Bullet to the Head” Poster
SZoner, Gerardo Moreno is back with his version of how a new Bullet to the Head movie poster could look. I’ve always enjoyed Gerardo’s Stallone art, and I seem to say this with each new piece, but this may be his best one ever. To see more of his art, click here.

Francavilla’s Black Beetle is Coming!
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 & the Strange Kids Club
Since we were talking about Thomas Boatwright and his art yesterday, I wanted to remind you that he has a new 32 page Bride of Frankenstein sketchbook and that there could be a third Zeke Deadwood comic in our future.
Boatwright & Carter’s Explosive Return
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
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.
