Marv, Gayle & Miho by Frank Miller!
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 Marv, Gayle & Miho by the legend his own bad self Frank Miller.
Rocky Balboa by Dave Dorman!
Dave Dorman has a different times in his career been known as THE artist for Dungeons and Dragons, G.I. Joe, Indiana Jones, Star Wars and more.
Dorman created an amazing cover for The Expendables Go to Hell but nearly 15 years before that I commissioned Mr. Dorman for his take on Rocky Balboa. As you can see, it’s a knockout.
Tony DeZuniga Draws Rambo Too!
Antony de Zuñiga who worked primarily under the name Tony DeZuniga, was an exceptional comics artist and illustrator. Mr. DeZuniga was the co-creator of Jonah Hex and Black Orchid. He was the first Filipino artist to work for Marvel or DC Comics. He paved the way for other talented artists.
Most folks know Tony DeZuniga for his beautiful inking. As you can see above, with the Rambo commission I was fortunate to get from Mr. DeZuniga, he was a consummate penciler as well.
“The Creature from the Black Lagoon” by Andrew Robinson!
Andrew Robinson takes us to the Black Lagoon! And I’m here for it.
Barry Windsor Smith’s Beautiful Cover Art for Conan Saga #1!
This is the cover art (without the cover dressing) used for Conan Saga #1 by legendary Conan artist Barry Windsor Smith. Here’s what part of what Smith said about the piece:
“I consider this work my definitive Conan. The strange background edifice and the mystical decoration are hallmarks of my early Conan comics stories…”
You can see the rest of the quote (and a larger version of the art) here.
Catwoman by Lee Weeks!
I love this drawing of Catwoman hiding from police in a museum. It’s by Lee Weeks who can draw anything well. Oh, and did you notice the Batman: Year One cover art hanging in the gallery background?

Batman by Jorge Jimenez!
It’s a hard to beat a well done black and white drawing. Batman by Jorge Jimenez proves it. I love the starkness.

“A Savage Art: The Life and Cartoons of Pat Oliphant” – The Poster and Trailer are Here!
A Savage Art: The Life and Cartoons of Pat Oliphant – the poster and trailer are here!
Deal me in.
In theaters September 5.
https://asavageart.com/Patrick Oliphant was a giant slayer. In addition to being a fearless stunt pilot, executing dangerous maneuvers just to blow off a little steam, he bravely took on presidents, popes and the American corporate class with his mighty pen.
An Australian transplant, Oliphant was America’s most renowned and feared political cartoonist for five decades. With his biting wit and masterful drawing skills he attacked individual and institutional corruption, collusion, greed, hypocrisy and arrogance, no matter the size or status of his enemies.
A Savage Art is the story of Oliphant’s life and celebrated career, told in interviews with Pat, his family, friends and colleagues, in archival footage, and featuring hundreds of his cartoons.
A Savage Art also outlines the history of political cartoons, showing how important and impactful political cartoonists have been throughout the ages, and how, in our current climate of political partisanship and corporate control of the media, political cartoonists like Oliphant are critical to checking the powers that be.

“Superman” (1978) by Tony Stella!
I have no interest in seeing the new Superman movie. Not to worry, I think it will do just fine without my few dollars spent on a ticket. Also, I am not in the targeted audience demographic for the new film.
Now the Richard Donner directed outing with Christopher Reeve… well, that was a different story.
Targeted demographic or not, I think that Tony Stella‘s Superman poster is just… super.
Riggs and Murtaugh by Ethan Pro!
“If these two can learn to stand each other… the bad guys don’t have a chance.”
Riggs and Murtaugh by Ethan Pro!
Rocky and Adrian by Cliff Chiang!
Way back in 2005, I got my first piece of art from Cliff Chiang. I asked for Rocky and Cliff surprised me by adding Adrian. I love everything about this. Cliff captured a perfect moment and the essence of the film.
