Nick Fury 2025 by Steranko!

One of the reasons I fell in love with comics was Nick Fury by Steranko.  Although Steranko started drawing Fury in Strange Tales begining in 1965, it wasn’t until Nick Fury got his own title in 1968 that I discovered him.  I was floored.  Still am.

Here we are in 2025 and Steranko has released a new limited edition Nick Fury print.  Look at that wonderful art. No wonder Steranko is considered a living legend.

Rocky vs Clubber Lang by Meesimo!

Every year the Cartoon Art Museum does a fundraiser.  Artists take on commissions with the funds raised going to support the Museum.  It’s a great cause by awesome artists who share their talents in an effort to support the Museum.

This year one of the two artists I commissioned was Christian “Meesimo” Meesey.  As you can see, I asked for Stallone and Mr. T from Rocky III.

Meesimo came through with a knockout addition to my collection.

Wolverine – “The Scars are Not Wounds Anymore. They’re Stories.” by Mike Deodato!

Mike Deodato created this amazing Wolverine piece.  I love the drawing and what Mike had to say about it.  Here’s part of it, click over for the full statement

Age didn’t break Wolverine.
It forged him. Tempered the fire, focused the fury.

The scars are not wounds anymore. They’re stories.
Proof that he’s been through everything and somehow still stands — steady, deliberate, unstoppable.

“Creature from the Black Lagoon” Reboot Designs by Miles Teves!

There have been several attempts to revive The Creature from the Black Lagoon.  (And I wish someone would get it done!)  John Carpenter was involved with a reboot for a while, but that project never crossed the finish line.

What we see here today is concept art created by Miles Teves.  Teves has worked in film/television as a concept artist, illustrator, and makeup FX sculptor since 1984.  The illustrations here were created for a possible Creature from the Black Lagoon reboot around 1997.  At that time Carpenter had moved on and Ivan Reitman was leading the charge.  Sadly, Reitman’s movie never made it to filming.

It’s interesting to note the changes Teves made from the original CFTBL design.  Note the tail and a more lizard-like appearance.
